Matrix Basic Base Jump Type Tactical Airsoft Bump Helmet w/ Flip-down Visor (Color: Black)

"This helmet is pretty awesome. Its light weight, looks pretty awesome, and the lenses are impact resistant. I used my polarstar, cranked up the FPS to 450 with .43 bbs, and shot the lens from 10 feet away 10 times. None of the bbs went through. Only one cracked the lens. Seems safe to me! This helmet also has saved me from concussions due to falls and hitting my head quite hard on the ground. Over all, an awesome helmet.

Pros:
Good price
Good quality
Impact resistant

Cons:
You don't have this yet.

"So to start with, this helmet functions like a helmet, believe it or not. Over the last year of owning it, it has saved my scalp from many a painful hit. But of course, the defining feature of this particular helmet is the the drop down visor. Before I order this helmet I did plenty of research, officially the manufacturer says that the visor is hit resistant and should only be used for cosmetic purposes only, not as actual eye protection. There are several video's out there that show people testing these visors with high powered rifles at point blank range, showing that the visor survives, though sometimes with minor marking. I myself wanted to check this personally, so after ordering a replacement visor as a precaution, I fired a 500+ FPS sniper rifle point blank at the visor. The worst that I got was some white markings from the BBs. I use the visor regularly as eye pro, and this helmet coupled with an overlapping steel mesh face mask provides nearly a full seal. Mind that this is my own personal opinion, and I fully understand that I take the risk of using this product against the manufacturers recommendations. All in all, it's a good helmet, the visor works well, and it's easy to modify for my own purposes. I highly recommend this product.

"Amazing quality, visor seems to have good strenth, great padding, good adjustables, and also definantly would reccomend to anyone looking for a good buy.

"Great helmet, not much else to say. Fits well and provides head protection. Flip down visor doesn't fly at any fields, so personally I would go for the helmet without them, unless you want it for show. Great bang for your buck.

"Great helmet. Bought this as my first method of head protection, and I don't see myself upgrading of changind anytime soon.

Pros:
Comfortable
Flip down visor great for SHOW ONLY
Easily adjustable strap

Cons:
None

The only thing I would change with the helmet is make it a chin strap, but it's still amazing how it is now. DO NOT BUY THIS HELMET THINKING YOU ARE SAVING ON GOGGLES. The flip down visor is cool, but doesn't pass any safety inspections at any of the fields I play at, and don't fully protect your eyes anyways.

"its a little tight but i think i just have to break it in, and the safety glass needs to come down a bit further but i could be wearing it high. other wise it was great buy

"Great pice of gear but the liner keeps falling out but it's an easy fix

"All in all, it works as a bump helmet that I can hook my mask up to but this really is just a lower grade entry level helmet. I got the “SEAL“ option when it was on sale and it looks alright. The same design could be done with spray paint a sniper’s vail and you would get a better finish. The flip down glasses are rather pointless and kind of get in the way over time as they will start coming down on their own; just remove them. Not really sure why they were added to begin with. The BIG issue I have is with the quality Inside the helmet. It feels like a super cheap bicycle helmet. It’s all 1 hard compacted foam liner and there is essentially NO PADDING at all aside form a couple very small and Velcro “pads” that are really just sewn up pieces of cloth (a couple pieces of cloth thick worth of padding). So if you want this to be comfortable, you’re going to want to purchase a separate helmet pad kit or just get a higher quality helmet. I own another bump helmet with an actual adjustable head liner in it and that is by far the way to go for the support extra $10-20.
