What is your hat size or circumference? I am also looking for a high cut ballistic helmet. I was looking at HHV. I will check the Ops Core out.

@BlueMax76 I am 23.25"
I first bought an HHV but then realized from extensive research that they have extensive backface deformation and potentially suspect quality as they're assembled outside the USA.
A HHV helmet is certainly better than a bump helmet but I would be hesitant to use one for serious protection when there are other affordable options out there.
The Galvion Revision Batlskin Viper A3 can be found for a decent price (especially for first responders apparently) and is a USA built helmet of high quality. Perhaps $400-500.
3M makes a decent helmet for around that same price range.
The Ops Core Gentex TBH-II can be found for $650 or perhaps less and is an excellent helmet.
Feel free to hit me up if you are ever in my area and want to try on my helmet. I really love the 4d tactical pads too.
