"Regardless of the material changes, it still glows in the dark."

Oxide coming out with a 11 minute video giving me more knowledge on a helmet then I could anywhere else on the internet is pretty insane.

Might want to try Ulbrichts Protection Helmets, they claim to have true rifle protection helmets with acceptable backface deformation

I guess they finally realized Police and other domestic agencies are primarily dealing with a different threat than the military helmets have been largely oriented for. Specifically the difference between stopping shrapnel and errant bullets from a relatively long distance being the primary threats, VS short distance direct shots to the head being the primary threats.

I like that you used more ammo types that the helmets actually could reliably stop with satisfying results

6 rounds out of a smg, without deformation, from point blank is rather impressive

10:18 there is a rifle rated helmet in use with the state police of north rhine westphalia in germany. Its called Hoplit 1100 H with Fortis add on plate. The manufracturer is Ullbrichts Protection.

I am very impressed at the evolution of your editing. This video definitely feels like you've taken a big step in establishing your own style of entertainment. 👍

Great video, very informative and concise. Exceptionally well put together presentation of the facts. Love it!

I like how VHS aesthetic is finally gone full blown on your vids. good job Oxide and editor.

She Team my Wendy until I fatally deform

Never thought id see you putting Okra in one of your videos, i love his music and have followed him for a while. Thanks for the videos

subbed just because of that banger intro, this editing is some of the best ive seen, keep your editor happy

yeahboi, new Oxide upload to start the weekend. Thanks for your unique content, it's very much appreciated.

You should try the Ulbrichts Boltless Helmet, it's an Austrian ballistic helmet and the company that make them, Ulbrichts, claims that the helmet is beyond NIJ 3A rating. While on the development process they not only focused on penetration but deformation too creating an all round product. I would love to see you test their claims.

Really good test. Backface deformation is hard to judge but the clay gives a good visual clue.

The quality and presentation of these is 💎✨ Must absorb some of this energy.

Amazing to see this series evolve, great work on these!

Good to see a much improved test methodology

The editing is "EPIC" .. luv the video bruh

That is the dopest into I've ever seen bravo bro 👏🏿 🙌

Hi Oxide, As some guys said before me you should try to get an Ulbricht helmet if you looking in the rifle rated dimension. Their Zenturion C1300H is classic among the German SEK. Their newer VPAM6 also nice. But you might wanna check out the Mehler H5 helmet especially in the faceshield and extra protective shell equipped configuration ⚠️

Busch does make a specifically rifle rated helmet, but it is quite heavy. Designed to be worn for shorter periods, like warrant service for LE.

great editing!!

love the intro to the vid amazing style and music also great color work on that footage this vid is top teir

My man Oxide needs more recognition. This is a super informative channel

Bravo! Good Show!

New oxide video? Splendid

Bruh, your vids are amazing. I always enjoy.

Would you consider a weapon series where you go in depth on various weapons and their variants such as the vast amount of AK variants and maybe go through calibers like 9x39, 9x21 and 9x18 etc. You already have a reputation for very detailed videos on Russian units, armors and helmets and I reckon it would be incredible to see the same care and detail put into reviewing small arms from around the world and throughout modern times. Respect from Australia.

you are doing the lord's work with these helmet tests

A nice follow up to your Ops-Core video, can’t wait to see the comment section blow up saying how you did it wrong again 🤣🤣

One thing to consider in terms of poly vs aramid helmets is sensitivity to the elements - poly helmets are sensitive to mild temperatures (80C+ starts degrading the material), sensitivity to physical damage (dont drop it on concrete lol) - all of these will degrade its protective qualities. It also starts burning at fairly low temperatures (~200-300C iirc) Compare this to aramid helmets which dont burn, you can play football with it all day and doesnt give a shit about any elements thanks to the resin/aramid combo. Burns at about 800C. The only thing you win with poly is better fragment protection - like significantly better. But it is all tradeoffs the other way. The 762x39 msc protection without extra plates claimed by some manufacturers is bs because of deformation. I mean this video already shows how bad the deformation is when stopping pistol caliber rounds, now try 6x+ the energy. Maybe in the future, who knows...

Bros editing is magnificent

thanks for these videos they're great and informative

Important bit that was left out(or maybe I just missed it) in the advantages and disadvantages of each, was how the weights compared between them

How don’t you have more subscribers wtf? First episode here and I’m extremely impressed by the editing, music selection, but most importantly the knowledge on display here. This is everything Guntubers should be.

Awesome testing I really like the Aesthetics of the video I usually cringe when people try to use VHS pipe lettering or something in their video or music but this is original and I love it

man you are doing such a good job with your videos, cant believe i found your channel because of your comment under tarkov video lol

Keep up the great work

Reject Modernity (plastic armor), Embrace Tradition (aramid armor)

Been holding off on my TW purchase until this video came out. I couldn’t ask for a better video

yeahhhhh babyyyyyy new video

love the 2000s skate video edit style

Loving the VHS aesthetic 🔥🔥🔥

*Ah Yes, another Oxide video! :)*

What I’m getting out of this is that there are benefits and drawbacks to each helmet material (assuming proper manufacture).

You have an amazing channel.

I have a TW for work. Tbh it performed well enough for me here, and that coupled with the weight will keep it in my good graces. Love your videos. I wanna see my Russian stuff though 😊

My life can wait oxide uploaded a video

Great information, but the 1980's VCR graphics and editing was top notch.

Jokes aside, very good video. Hope you can test some Galvion stuff next!

FBI SWAT units are using the AMP-1s, but their premier tactical unit, the Hostage Rescue Team still uses Crye Airframes and mostly recently, a mix of Team Wendy Exfils.

I don't know oxide, why did they?

Awesome video! Could you do a rifle rated helmet video if possible? A HighCom Arditi is supposed to be rifle rated and cost roughly the same as Busch AMP-1TP for 2k+ USD for civilians. The Ops-Core FAST RF1 that is rifle rated cost around 3k. Wondering if the rifle rated ones will have much smaller deformation against rounds used in the video than their level 3A Polyethylene counterpart.

I have always wanted you to test the Diamond Age Bastion helmet which is described as rifle rated, as well as the Adept NovaSteel Helmet

Sweet CADPAT and C8 loadout, I see you

He’s back!

Great video! Also I rock the same Amazon mask lol

I'm just glad I bought 2 boxes of M39B shit is decent.

4:28 Seeing the slowmo being recorded on the same phone that I'm watching this video on is pretty fun :)

i like the vhs editing style

More great content from the helmet man. Any plans to do an RBR helmet?

For your search Ulbrichts Protection (another german company) offers rifle rated helmets some with the trauma level VPAM 6 (7.62x39). Btw Bush Protective is well known in Germany.

Would be interesting to see you test the adept armor steel helmet.

He blessed us with another certified hood classic

My new wallet is made out of Ultra100. Its a fabric that uses ultra high density polyethylene, with what I think is silnylon. Its an excellent fabric. I wonder how it reflects infared.

Hoplite Armor supposedly makes a rifle rated level 3 ACH. may be worth the look for a test

I like the idea of this helmet, I really hope it takes off and other channels review it. I’ll be a lot more likely to switch over if I could watch a video about this from someone without such a chip on their shoulder, I’m very interested

You should try to obtain one of ulbrichts new helmets, it utilises titanium to decrease bfd and penetration

@Oxide you might want to look at the ULBRICHTS ZENTURIO HELMETS specifically the 7.62 MSC variant.

good to see the team wendy perform fairly well, as they are standard issue for the military I work for.

I'd love to see some tests on the mtek flux.

yoinked mine from ebay. very happy with it.

Have you ever thought about testing the up-armor applique for PASGTs? I say that like there's a lot of there. I only know of one indian company that developed one. Kinda wish I could get my hands on one.

WELCOME BACK TO WILL IT PEN

I know you mainly test military based armor and helmets, but I'd love to see you test some American brands to see how they hold up. They'd probably be alot easier to obtain and test too.

Just curious, are you gonna do another tier list for the new set of helmets you're testing? And will the previous one eventually be made into a standalone video?

Unbelivibel how good your side is .

Do you think youll ever be able to test a highcom helmet? Them and some other companies supposedly have rifle rated helmets, and they weigh a lot for that protection.

New video baby

As the wiki guy for vhs-decode this vhs "style" intro effect hurts my soul, good video though!

There's a brand called United Shield that sells everything from helmets to face shields to riot to ballistic shields in grade Grainger. Not a lot of info on them.

Any chance you could test the Protective group Denmark arch gen 3 helmet? It’s supposed to be pressed in Bulgaria and finished in Denmark. Thanks for the quality content, hope life is treating you well.

Oxide,out of pure curiosity what helmet in your opinion did the best that you have tested so far

Wicked testing

The ECH has always done pretty well. Idk if you've done a video on it yet.

the helmet tuber returns...

BABE WAKE UP OXIDE DROPPED A NEW VIDEO

I wonder if silica carbide plates in a hex formation could be utilized on the exterior. Unfortunately that would add weight and each seam even though small is an opportunity for penetration.

Request for armour tasting: the PGD-ARCH or PGD-MICH helmet from Denmark Protection Group. And maybe after the ESAPI plate | NIJ Level 4 (IV) | PGD U-line plates from DPG?

I do have a question Oxide, have you thought about doing a review on South African ballistic helmets? Because i have yet to find anyone that has reviewed such helmets. Some more well known helmets are the U6 sonic and the Viper 3 ballistic helmets because the german KSK used those helmets for a bit.

Very curious to see the Canadian issue helmet

brooooooooooo T-block camo jacket, was that the one that you can find on workerkit?

As someone who just upgraded from a Hard head Veterans to a Team Wendy, I can accept these differences.

Maybe try a Helmet from Ulbrichts Witwe made in Austria like the Zenturio 05 or the C1300H they will fullfill your requirements

What are youre thoughts on the Highcom Striker helmets? They have 3 versions based on the shell compositions and all with low, medium, and high cut. Im interrested in getting one on Apex Armor Solutions. But there isnt alot of info on them.

super test

Love you oxide

The amount of money that was involved in these tests is insane. You’re providing science that most of us could not provide
