It doesn't seem to correspond with any runic alphabet I'm aware of, at least I couldn't find any that includes all the different runes on the helmet. Truly some esoteric stuff.
I worked in a major British army clothing store for a year and a half, and saw at least 2 of these virtus helmets come in broken a week. Luckily we had plenty to replace them, but obviously you guys don't have that luctury. The one piece of advice I can give is please don't hang the helmet from the chin strap, and instead use the D ring at the back of the helmet.
I loved that German helmet! It was the best, I would even sleep in mine and it was so comfortable. It has such a nice liner in my opinion. But it was prone to breaking from the rubber going stiff, the surplus I used was little older. Fast helmet now but want to get another full cut like ECH that offers better ballistics. Great video as always.
Team Wendy are frickin ace.. I bumped into them at a version of shot show London and they gave me so much cool kit. Eventually, most the guys in the infantry platoon I was in at the time also switched to team Wendy
Apart from some shaw concepts upgrades i made to my gen 3 plate carrier team wendy's stuff is by far the best things ive ever bought, night and day difference and i dont have the issues with my helmet sliding down when im prone on an m240b, its a crime that neither shaw concepts or team wendy havent been contracted to replace all the standard issue trash that seems to be from temu.
I've seen a lot of footage from Ukraine, and I have to say the amount of guys I've seen not bothering with ear protection is crazy, kind of make the purpose of the highcut helmet redundant.
Glad to see our Ministry of defence didn't botch the helmets (they have handled so many other pieces of equipment badly - like our rifle and tank developments) and you guys are making good use of it :)
British Army personal gear is usually spectacularly good now. Boots are fantastic, body armour, helmets all absolutely top end. Add in standard issue of PRR, lots of night vision etc etc and there are few militaries that have better gear over all. The L85A2 is actually a very decent rifle these days, and all frontline soldiers get exceptionally decent optics as standard which most militaries still don't do, but the UK has done for almost 40 years now.
@@dogsnads5634 don't get me wrong - I second all of this. But it took us a painful while to get to that. The fact the A1 scarred the reputation of the L85 generally + we had to outsource the repair to HK. Iraq and afgan forced a lot of the change you describe. and prior to it got too many killed (eg unarmoured defenders, yes america had the same issue with humvees etc too) I will say though, SUSAT really was radical in terms of giving everyone optics and then improving from there over time etc. But hardly surprising given how the army favours accurate fire over volume.
That's why I hate the fact that the Polish territorial defense forces that I will be joining are being equpied with high cut helmets, we arent commandos we are light infantry
One thing to add: if composite helmet is stored properly it’s protection level may even increase over time as chemicals used in helmet’s construction evaporate and layers bind together more efficiently.
@@Apus__ I guess the recertification and x-rays done on them is actually wrong then, as they get stronger the older they are rather than delaminating/delayering over time.
@@Apus__what's the study called? Researched to no avail, it's completely counter intuitive and against most certification progresses for armour in most armies.
The problem with those helmets is that they impair the use of most hiigh quality ear protection and even some communication head sets. Better protection worse awareness.
@@andresmartinezramos7513 you can still wear ear protection underneath the helmet like what he showed in the video there are also helmets that are full size that have contoured sides to fit modern ear protection but both type of helmets have their positives and negatives for what they're using over there it's good to have something with more coverage cause of the amount of fragmentation flying from artillery and grenades not saying that's what you should use everywhere else but over there in certain areas it's good like in trenches especially when having extra Kevlar collar and other protective inserts
The best part about the larger helmets with greater coverage is the neck pain and headaches they cause, causing overall less use. Helmets only work when you wear them. So you're more likely to die having a "better coverage" helmet because it's probably off because it's uncomfortable.
Full sized helmet like steel helmet, PASGT, ACH and ECH are ideal for high intensity battles like trench warfare and combined arms assault. Also, full sized helmets provides better coverage against weather elements. Stay safe soldier.
@ReviveHF I'd you need NIJ IIIA armour to provide better coverage against weather elements, you're having a bad day. Ballistic velocity rain and hail?.... Wear a beanie dude.
It’s hilarious how much British soldiers hate the Virtus kit compared to the mk7 helmet and older webbing patterns (tailored usually). Glad the virtus is working for you lads.
I know you were more medical or specialist, but i was wondering if you can show an assaulters belt setup. How many magazines/frags they wear and what else they find usefull to wear on their belt line
@MicMc539 last time i checked ukraine isnt a nazi state, nazis havent existed since 1945. If you're referring to neonazis literally every country has them, including russia. Australia is backing them because their nation is being invaded and bombed by a foreign nation and they asked for help. What gives russia the right to enter a foreign country and kill?
I'm issued a Ops Core FAST and while they're cool i'm honest here, i wouldn't want to go to war with it. First: UHMWPE sucks. Second: coverage. There is a picture of a guy with a M92 that catched shrapnel to the earpiece. I would've been dead with my FAST. We currently transition back to modern aramid full cuts.
Sestan&busch supplied german military in past i think one he showed from germany is made by sestan&busch it have familiar plastic pins thruout inside for for head protection, bk3s is amazing for me , no protruding metal pins so no weak points for penetration
I bought a kevlar helmet with Flecktarn camo cover, it was advertized as being used by UN forces at some point. I cannot identify the country it came from. I bought it from an army surplus store many years ago. The build and material is similar to 2000s US helmets, but it's way more comfortable than the one I used in my service because it has these pad things in it instead of classic harness and suspension which I've never seen.
what do you think about additional ballistic attachments. its heavy but fragments and shrapnel have been the biggest killers. Kevlar Face Mandible? Shoulder and Thigh Kevlar? Neck Protection? Which are and are not worth using.
I already know the answer: East German M56/76 Steel Helmet! It resisted a shot from 9x19, 9x18, .45ACP, 7.62x25 Tokarev, and .357 Magnum! So it's a good choice if you are on a budget. Here's the test: ruclips.net/video/hdqOhqSu7o0/видео.html.

So Tokarev at 5 yards is maybe is 450 ft/lbs. 5.45x39mm energy at 250 yards ≈ 400 ft/lbs. So, I would recommend you keep your head down if you are closer than 250 yards to enemy!
I forgot to mention. You can get those helmets in various sizes. Then, nest like matryoshka dolls! With 4 or 5 layers, 5.56 should not penetrate. This is not advice and I'm not responsible for tragic results
Used to love ach because of extra protection from shrapnel but grew to understand highcuts are simply better for modern battlefield since coms and ear pro are way more important for situational awareness
If you rearrange your pads a little, you can wear Peltor Comtac IIIs under a low-cut ACH comfortably (as they were designed). That was the setup I ran for years. I've been told Howard Leight Impacts are also fine. You don't have to sacrifice shrapnel protection for hearing protection and situational awareness.
@@VeteranOfSojuWars it's just not enough coverage to matter..... The surface area is less difference than if you were sized correctly, or were looking up or down. I don't get why low cut cultists think it matters so much

You preferred that over a high cut?..... It's a no brainer when you actually wear them. One you keep on, one you take off frequently because they're uncomfortable. They only work when you're wearing them.

Nice video!
7:37 LOL how did you get your hands on that helmet?? Thats Virtus!
Its good to see high praises for our helmet 🙂 from what I've heard, the body armour and helmet are the only decent bits of kit from the virtus system
Could you make a video on your thoughts about body armors for war. Ie do you prefer plate carriers or soft armors and why.
Fragmentation protection.. would always go with the full issue.
You preferred that over a high cut?..... It's a no brainer when you actually wear them. One you keep on, one you take off frequently because they're uncomfortable. They only work when you're wearing them.
@21kiwi24
You don't take your helmet off in a theatre of war. General Patton used to enforce this.. shell fragments etc go straight through many walls... properly trained soldiers know this.
@@janwitts2688 sure thing mate. You can take the extra 10% coverage. You know something most modern line infantry and SF units don't know apparently.
@@21kiwi24 Most modern line infantary use a full helmet and the mission sets of sf is way diffrent than line infantary, Any helmet is good, but high cuts are definetly sacraficing some protection
@@paahtopro3950 Australia, Singapore, new Zealand, usmc (gradually) infantry disagree with you.
mate, where did you get the Rhodesian camo jumper?
Revision cobra for the win
They are terrible helmets. Very fragile because they are cheap.
Man I want that cap, it looks like 🎉 cap, but it isn't 🎉.
