Russian Helmets

The two look like you could combine them into a CVC helmet. If it's the same as the US CVC helmet, it'll be the same protection as a regular kevlar, which isn't spectacular if I remember right. But it should be fine for frag, falling debris, bumps, etc.

Also remember, kevlar has a shelf life.

Helmet 1 is made from a titanium alloy and helmet 2 is made from aramid. With option shelf life should not be a problem. I don't know about aramid.

Go with the first one then. It looks pretty high quality.

you posted a sfera and a zsh1, sferas are the most uncomfortable helmets on the earth, but theyre cool. zsh1s are pretty comfy, get that one instead. its made of steel and kevlar.

>>33171870
Zsh-1 is just kevlar.
Zsh-1-2 is kevlar + aluminum on top.

i was going to say youre wrong, but i just tested my 1-2 with a magnet and its non ferrous, so youre correct. the zsh1 is still much more comfortable than a sfera, and unless hes getting a 6b3 to go with it and going to reenact some soviet shit, then theres no point to it.

Sferas are neat but even the updated """"""""lightweight"""""""" versions are extremely painful to wear for long periods of time.

How much does it weight? Everyone bitches about helmet but really it isn't that bad.

>>33173477
about 5 pounds, but theres a lot more to helmet comfort than weight.

>>33173491
True, but everyone seems to exagerate how it is to wear ballistic helmets. Sure >nothing at all is better but it's generally not "awful".

its not helmets in general, its that the russians have a lot of heavy ass helmets. My ZSH1-2 with the mask is like 7 pounds, same as the altyn, k6-3, and similar helmets. 5 pounds in an uncomfortable package sucks ass to wear.

Shit like the 6b47 is really nice to wear though.
