looks good. can we get a picture of the side of one of the helmets from that production?

So, if one's head is 59cm, would you recommend the large or extra large?

Is it true level IV helmets don't exist? If it is, why no one makes them? Why settle with level 3 when level 4 provides more protection? Is it material/technology limitation?

the reason why nobody else does and why its uncommon is a combination of added weight, and cost. everything is a tradeoff. trexarms does a good video about this on their website. go to products, helmet,s click the opscore rf1 and watch the video.

edit:i should clarify the RF1 will stop 556 and 7.62x39 rounds but i don't know if it actually has an official NIJ LV3 or LV4 rating. i misspoke earlier and said the ops core rf1 was lv4 which i seriously doubt it is since lv4 would have to stop an AP .30-06. it is likely similar in performance to lv3, check with the manufacturer.


or dont get shot in the head with a rifle, thats some pretty solid advice too

I have never heard of a level 3 let alone a level 4 helmet but maybe they exist. If helmets have a ballistic rating you almost only ever see 3a which is rated for pistols so people aren't settling for 3, that's a higher rating than you can even find

Ops Core wants 3000 USD aka 4000 CDN for the RF1 - it is also double the thickness of a regular helmet. Need enough polyurethane to the trick, which is actually pretty astonishing most polyurethane needs 1" to do the job "flat". Note that polyurethane can't stop SS109 - the RF1 doesn't list that as a protection either.

But ops core is asking 2000 USD for a regular helmet now. So wait another 2-3 years we will see this composite replicated else where at a much lower price.

Do these helmets expire?

If your exactly 59cm the large will feel snug which some may prefer but there will be no room for adjustments, with extra large you will need to utilize the adjustment ratcheting system.
