Fits comfortably, and the service is excellent and responsive. Definitely recommend these guys if you're thinking about purchasing from them.

Most comfortable ballistic helmet I've used in my 40 year law enforcement career. Sizing, padding, and adjustability makes for exceptional fit and comfort. Pairs exceptionally well with the Invictus Templar plated vest carrier I also purchased recently. While I hope to never find myself in another tactical firefight, this system gives me the confidence, protection, and mobility that far exceeds any tactical system I've used during my 25 years on a municipal SWAT team. Well done and thank you for refining a high quality system for real life operations.

I like the weight, and the looks it was built just right for me, and it fits perfectly.

I'd love to say we crafted this exactly for you, but the truth is, they are all that good. Thanks for supporting us!

Quality armor protection for a fraction of the cost of competitors! I personally couldn’t justify spending $1,500 on a ballistic helmet! Thanks for making a quality product, while making it accessible to all. The ratcheting suspension system and padding really let you dial in the fit!
Awesome work brother, keep it up! God bless
