We thought this Chinese Helmet was Junk
Ғылым және технология
After the disastrous results from our first test of UHMWPE Chinese ballistic helmet a couple of viewers suggested it might be faulty material or improper manufacturing methods.
So we found another random chinese company that makes their ballistic helmets from aramid fibers (similar to Kevlar).
The helmet was suspiciously light and thin so we assumed it was total junk.
We didn't expect anything but this helmet blew us away!
The performance was on par with some much much more expensive high end helmets.
In fact, Žiga was so impressed that we have decided to buy a batch of these helmets to offer them as a budget alternative alongside high end PGD line of professional helmets.
Yes, the straps suck but those can be easily replaced, but the helmet is solid.
Approved by Polenar 👍

Honestly, people gotta wake up to the fact that you get what you pay for in every country. You can't expect a high quality product when you spend pennies on the dollar for a Chinese product. Just as you can't expect high quality product when you spend pennies on the dollar for a western product. Buy cheap, get cheap product, it's that simple. No matter which country that product came from.
I knew it would be a matter of time before the Chinese made one just as good for half the price as an American one waiting for some nods now to go from 40k to that $500
Just because it’s made in China doesn’t mean it’s junk, it really depends on who’s making it. Just like everything else, you get what you pay for. Even in China, there are different price points for helmets.

@@honzabalak3462 i doubt it would stop any proper rifle rounds, those are just too fast. But it might stop .50 AE which has 300gn bullet with the same muzzle energy as 7.62 from an AK... at least the high end PGD helmet stopped it and the damage on the chinesium helmet seems comparable
Perfect now I can tell my LARP buddies how my helmet is real bulletproof!
Being fair to China, these days they do have a massive amount of high quality manufacturing, it's just that there's still a even more massive amount of shitty factories that produce super cheap junk.

Does it have any kind of V50 rating? My work revolves around testing ballistic helmets, I'd be really interested to see how this one performs in a STANAG shrapnel test.
This is a very well-done video--the sight gags were perfect! 😆 While it held up well, the helmet still looks a bit light for my comfort. While the permanent deformation wasn't great, those hits should still produce some hard knocks against the wearer's skull. I can see this as a good bump helmet and mount of NODs, but for combat, I would prefer something heavier.

you kidding? might be my experience as a gunner on various armored cars/trucks, but i would take this any day over a big bulky helmet in the cramped ass turret space, especially since it looked like it passed the blunt force test, lol. and if you mean metal by heavier (you probably dont), have fun with the neck pain after a long week of sitting on your ass in a security assignment for some public favor event in bumfuck desert. i would absolutely take this over a heavy helmet. people with more boots on the ground might have differing opinions on this matter, but given i don't have said helmet available, i think i will stick with my cvc for now(not like i have a choice). i would also love to have that Chinese face shield, but it is not to be sadly.

China is capable of making quality products, if you're willing to pay for it. Some high-end knives, for example, are made in China for Western corporations. They're not going to cost what a cheap Chinese knife costs as they are not cheaply made. Very much a "get what you pay for" type of thing. It's best not to underestimate anyone or nation.
