Good question. One we should ask ourselves daily.
it's everyday bro

@@JacobbBrah Haha omg I see why you are watching a video about helmets now 😂😂😂
@@Local_Laydee Tard helmet jokes for the win. You owe me half a mountain dew my friend haha
The Crye Precision AirFrame is very nice. The light weight definitely helped out with my back problems. I also had fewer headaches at the end of the day from breaching than I had with the MICH helmet. That opening at the top really helps out. Another draw back from the AirFrame is that it falls short in the crush test than the Ops-Core and MICH. When you put it on you feel like Dark Helmet from Spaceballs. But it also looks cool! So super plus there. Didn't stick around long enough to get the Ops-Core. But I started off with the old helmet with just a chinstrap and old suspension band, then up to the Marine Corps modified headband suspension band, then to the MICH. The AirFrame was like a gift from the Gods! Money well spent on that one. Great Video.
Well done, very comprehensive IMO. Brings back memories of much larger heavier helmets I wore for 12+ hours on patrol. You younger fellas have some cool kit.
I'm no expert but does a baseball cap provide the same level of protection?
If it looks cool yes. Make sure it's operator but not too operator. For example, multicam hat is too much. LA hat, or NY hat is too casual. Now, LAFD, NYFD etc etc is the perfect level of operator. Also if it looks dusty - the dust acts as level IV ballistic protection.
Garand Thumb Ahh ok makes sense, does it make a difference which direction I wear it? Because sometimes I feel the urge to wear it backwards
Few can handle the power of the backwards cap.
Garand Thumb You underestimate my power
Don't try it. I have the high ground.
Simply put.. my head isn't worth $1300.
New Jack lol nice one. I laughed out loud at this
speak for your self, i went to college
The gear queer in me says by the expensive helmet.
My wallet says pasgt
Bishop M no shame in Pasgt. I have one myself. Affordable, fits good and level 3a. Always shoot within your means.
"There's a price on your head."
"How high?"
"$1301"
"Why they wasting money?"
Any advice on where to get more training? I just cleared my daughters room. Just one sketchy looking teddy bear with a .44 magnum nerf gun aimed at my head. Helmet worked.
Daughter's room can be too cramped
Go with the living room, especially when the milk's gone bad. Your refrigerated gallons of milk can be hostile.

I wear the beanie with helicopter blade on top. Keeps me cool and looks cool. Great at deflecting chicks.

They'll stop a 8mm round from a K98 or a MG42. Saving Private Ryan told me so.

phhht I'm rocking the WW1 Brit Brodie helmet, the original high cut, passive cooling helmet. Plus one size fits all, and the rim can be sharpened for UCQB....Ultra Close Quarters Battle.
Adam Mendoza it deflected the round bro ! Haha
Adam Mendoza I wear a MKIV helmet with my Northern Ireland kit. Only need protection from incoming potatoes though so it's fine.
Psshhh. I run a crab type knight helmet. Rated at level 4 protection.
I find that a 24 pack of crayons makes a great counterweight.
Chen8126 The main downside is that the infantry guys will eat the crayons, rendering the counterweight redundant.
Groucho emergency rations my dude
You must be a jarhead too! Lol
It’s all about that 64 pack tho.
Good weight saving too, don't need to pack MREs when your carrying crayons.

WOW! This is the absolute most professional advice on body armor that I've seen anywhere on UA-cam. Excellent advice. Although it's geared more towards military and law enforcement, still very useful information for those interested in body armor for home defense. My only critique would be that it would be great to have a video specifically for civilians who want to use body armor for home defense covering commonly available surplus body armor.
I like attach neodymium magnets backwards. bullets are not stronger than physics, trust me I'm a physician

Just discovered your channel... Great content, presented clearly, simply, and plenty of information offered in professional yet simple format. Your experience and insight is appreciated! Great job, great videos, and definitely subscribing!
"...crazy operating things you think you're gonna be doing"
posting in /gq/'s thread is kinda operating, r-right?
"No matter what look cool." That is the whole point of life is it not? Love the videos man keep them coming.
These vids are sick.. can't wait for the pack/loadout vid
you goin for that "vining in the 90's" look?
you're killin it.
The confidence change in your videos is impressive, glad to see the comfort come through. You do well in front of a camera ;)
I would be very interested to see a video about integrating gear with flotation for operating in a marine environment. What kind of gear you have experience with, and what works and is light weight enough not to offset your flotation while still being effective.
A lot of us Coasties really want our service to revise and modernize the equipment we use while conducting Maritime LE and the higher level missions that our specialized units perform.
Let us know if you have any experience in that area. Thanks for the great videos.
Semper Paratus
"No matter what, look cool" because its a well known fact that coolness alone put the fear of God into the enemy.
The two shell design on the Crye is made to diffuse blast forces coming up through the helmet.
As soon as he talked about bumping his head with the crye airframe I immediately pictured the storm trooper smacking his head in star wars 😂
I seriously like how when I look at the other vids I've been interested in are ALL listed underneath this vid by you. I subscribed.
The details that you cover in gear videos is literally gold. I can't tell you the amount of times that I try to find informational videos on a piece of gear and nobody covers the criteria I'm looking into. You've yet to fail on delivering the details brother and its greatly appreciated.
This video needs a remake. It's kind of funny seeing how awkward Flannel Dad used to be on Camera.
I'm slightly attracted to you and I'm not sure why.
it's the tacticool
shhh. Let it happen.

it gets better
Can I be big spoon?

Forgive me.
Forgive the POG for he knows not what he's done.
true army hipsters still wear UCP until they're out of reg in Oct ;)
HERESY!
These old videos are a vibe
Hey Mike, "always look good doing it" is absolutely right!But man, you sure do have a fine assortment of helmets and rifles⚡️.... #blessed🇺🇸
Let me know if your ever offering classes or training in Western Washington.
Also, you need to get some garandthumb patches made so I can get one and rock dat b*tch to the fullest. Much obliged!!
Your content rocks. Just emailed your channel to a bunch of industry sites.
Much appreciated, thanks brother.
You need to check out the new Mtek helmets. I have their Carbon bump version and it's super comfortable and balances my PVS14 perfectly without a counter weight. I can even unclip my chinstrap and won't have any dip from the helmet. They just released their ballistic version late last year and it seems to have gotten good returns on it so check them out.
Don’t they use a pad based system instead of a dial/ratchet?
“Everybody still loves you..I’m sure you’re very handsome..”
F*cking dead. 😂

Is that helmet mic the reason people called you Gear Hitler in the past? Because damn that looks like a toothbrush 'stache.
Found your channel at lunchtime today. Been watching for the past 9 hours. I'm learning a lot but my eyes are burning into the back of my skull.

I prefer the pasgt helmet. Affordable, very protective on the sides, lots of options.
I still have my
MICH/ECH HHV BTE still my favorite. I bought that thing out of pocket before my 2nd tour in Iraq and both tours to Afghanistan.
I use Peltors and I can tell you after a few hours they really start digging into my head esp with eyepro on. You can replace them with gel cups to help out with the constriction.
"Darth Vader" look is a serious hit on looking cool. I'm in the same boat with MICH helmets
How do you feel about the enhanced combat helmet the marines wear now? Apparently they are far better at consistently stopping rifle rounds.
Best i got is PASGT. Good enough for my uncle in Iraq, good enough for a minuteman.
Cut the ear covers and the front brow off and you got a highcut :)
This is the best channel in this genre!
Bert and Ernie helmet shapes... you nailed it man.
Your hand movements reminds me of the guy in the SERE 100 videos.
Well he was a SERE instructor at one point i believe soooo....lmao
Please consider making a "Secrets of SERE" type video, it would be really cool to learn tidbits of 0perat0r survival knowledge from u.
Also, good vid
Will do! and thanks!
any follow up on this?

I'm glad you mentioned about those cheap helmets from China. Theres like 4 of these companies that are selling the same Ops Core knock off helmet from alibaba. Dont get caught up in the gimmick.
You can buy a high cut helmet from reputable companies like Revision, Protech or 3M for a few dollars more.
i like your vids man, quite a tasteful gearqueer, now how much time do you spend on /k/ and what's your point on airsoft?
bro i think you're projecting. he ain't got time for the chans
memes do not increase battle readiness
i'm just wondering who is watching these vids man, if you have an airframe and you need to watch a yt video to learn that you have to slam some team wendy pads in it, an soe counterweight and an l4g24 and some peltor clip things, you're obviously an airsofter
and yeah i found this in the "about" tab: -GarandThumb is a pretty neat channel, shoots garands fast and doesn't afraid of anything. -/k/omrade. nice little easter egg
dear god maybe you're right
w-what if he was created in a vat in an unholy collaboration between SOE, triple aught design, and 5.11 just to sell us their overpriced tacticool-guy merchandise
That eye twitch when he says, "no matter what look cool." LMAO this guy is just too funny and very informative.
Most modern helmets use a ratchet strap. A good way to know of it's tight enough is to tighten it to just where the helmet doesn't move when you bend over forward and backward without the helmet strap done up. It shouldn't be squeezing your head.
someone has definitely seen the S.E.R.E. CBTs of old with the way you speak with your hands lol
haha, it's a habit.
Clearing corners in my moms basement. Jesus i needed that in my life right now. This channel is amazing
Thanks for putting on such great reviews. I've watched them several times each and have taken something helpful away from them each time. I appreciate your time and experience. Thanks and be safe!
I use a couple of the standard Army issue ACH from ArmorSource. They don't look as cool, but you can usually pick one up for $200 or under and still get decent ballistic protection, but you are better off getting an aftermarket retention system than the standard one, like Team Wendy. Then you add rails, a RHINO and velcro for your patches to look a little bit cooler.
Went TEAM WENDY EXFIL SL. “Because looking kool is important, lol”. Words heeded! More important; after watching a dozen different helmet reviews, when reviews start repeating - “get the Team Wendy internal pads and suspensions system if yours is not comfortable or stabilizing your dome.....I hear a pattern of who is providing the better products. Thanks for your review.
Dude, I'm pretty new on the channel but I seriously love your fucking videos, that humor you have is great so keep up the good stuff!! 👍🏽👊🏽😂
I use an ACH with Howard leights and the team Wendy camfit system, it fits me really well; I just don't have my pads setup very well yet.
Very interesting vid, thanks.
I'd love to see how you go using a face shield along with Comms, helmet and goggles?
Awesome to see your opinions on these helmets, I was curious if you'd ever looked at the MTEK's Flux? Similar design of course, but a much different suspension system...though I'm not exactly knowledgeable on helmets I've only had the pleasure of basic issue ACH's but an alternative certainly sounds fantastic.
I really like what he says at the end about wearing your helmet for prolonged periods of time, I want to say I am not an operator, and I have never worked with operators, however, I have spent the last 6 years working on the flight gear for fighter pilots including their helmets and oxygen masks and at home they’ll fly a few hours at a time a couple times a week and be super happy with how their helmets and masks fit and then we’d go out on deployment and they’d have to wear their helmets and masks for much longer intervals and after one or two flights they’d start coming to us to get things refit because they start noticing hotspots where it’s causing discomfort.
But of course Plaid Daddy reviews operator level equipment for guys who are only going to be operating at the local airsoft field.
If the helmet deforms 5 inches did it really stop the round
At 12:35 - i like the flip-over Hitler 'stache attachment on that helmet. That is so fun!
This is the first video of flannel daddy's I watched. The thumbnail is still branded into my mind after 4 years.
Please keep up the great gear review. Even for those of us who have operated in Iraq, etc (30 yrs USMC) gotta talk, listen, and learn. Don’t be satisfied with what comes out of the CIF
Good info on your videos. Watched all of them over thanksgiving. Some stuff I knew some was new info for my tool bag. Appreciate it.
One thing i realised with my mich 2000 is that removing padding(top one) will get your headstuck in the helmet, and now the helmet sits like a rock and its perfect when moving alot.
Love the videos, keep them coming as fast as possible. I would like to see a review of a HHV helmet. They are cheap, but apparently made with all the right stuff, to the right standards. I would be interested to know what you think...
Excellent info. Nothing like good ole common sense. When I was in the Army, we transitioned from steel pots to the first generation kevlar. Man they were heavy, I guess most likely because of the crappy suspension system. Do you have any thoughts on the A.T.E. Hard Head Veteran's helmet. I've seen a lot of really good reviews on them as far as ballistics. Anyway thanks for the great videos.
You've made a subscriber out of me! All your stuff makes sense! If you don't mind me asking, what's your background? Just curious where you've obtained all this knowledge from and how pertinent it is.
Can you do a video on comms set up with a PC?
Good video bro. Feel like a time machine tho watching this old stuff and how your presentation has changed.
I miss this old school style of vid so much
I have a ROK military standard composite helmet and the shell is so big that I look like a Starship trooper. I also have a long neck so that aggravates the aesthetics.
MrDK0010 so its a PASGT.
“Suck it up buttercup, quit being a little bitch” 😂😂 dude you crack me up
This guy is the love child between christian bale and travis haley
I saw this and became interested because I would like to know what you think about helmets in a shtf prepped survival situation. I would think they would become cumbersome and I personally was thinking of forgoing helmets in favor of a hat and com setup. any ideas or advice? also what do you think about stacking systems example a battle belt with a plate carrier. It's my current setup and I'm always looking for ways to make it better as it seems no matter how many ways I work it there's always something. like now everything's in nice spots but the large antenna on my radio which is on my BB is hitting my pack which is connected to my plate carrier. also I have a double rifle mag pouch just left of the BB belt buckle and when I crouch it collides with my thigh. it's not very intrusive but it's enough of a bother for me to wanna figure out a better system. Love the channel and would appreciate any ideas or advice. thanks!
All I have is a cheap PASGT helmet replica I bought for like $15... I will admit it looks neat with the Choco chip cover and the goggles and cat-eyes I bought for it
Dude, I just recently accidentally stumbled across your channel and have now watched your PC and warbelt setup videos. Very informative stuff, but i have a question regarding this helmet video. What kind of stuff should be put in the counterweight pouch? I only have experience with the Finnish Defence Forces helmet, which is basically a version of PASGT.
"...Remember... no matter what... Look cool " Garand is awesome. Go Army !!
This video + Squid is the reason why I bought an Airframe. Who cares if I'm already 6'4" and close to hitting my head on doorways? They just look so cool, and that's all that matters!

Facts
I like it how you completely ignored the older style low cut helmets. I understand the tacticool factor of high speed low drag operator helmets, but id rather not have one of those in combat.
This guy is the lost child of Travis Haley and Rudy Reyes! Cool shit, bro!
Army ACH fits like trash, feels like trash, protects like trash and looks like trash.. imo... the lvl 3 helmet you have looks way more comfortable and most importantly, stylish!
The Tactician it's also 7x more expensive.
@@Masta_E yeah no shit, it's for daddy after all.
@Adam Beeson Team Wendy makes the crap default pads for the ACH. Then they expect people to pay the 80+ odd dollars for a better pad system
I know I’m late to the video, but I’m a new Security Forces member and I got issued an ACH. Do you have any suggestions on how I can make this helmet as optimal & tactical as possible? Thank you.
I'm curious, is the black NVD mount for the ACH authorized for use with the OCP camo pattern, or is the tan one the authorized color with that pattern?
Great channel bro! Good humor too. Very good informative stuff! Watched one video and that was enough to subscribe.
Came here to research Helmets. Holy shit a lot can change in 3 yrs. thanks for vids.

Yeah I bought a pasgt for $30 on eBay the cover smells like smoke and the paint isn’t great it’s kind of heavy like you said saves lots of money though
