Well Ive ordered these before but I didn't know there was a basic version - this one didn't have any light padding in the bump cap - its like wearing a hard hat without the harness

I'm sure it'd help protect my head in the case of a crash, so it's functional at least. The helmet is pretty big-looking on my average-sized head because of the thick walls... it looks pretty dorky and clunky.

I'd be willing to deal with that but the main problem is that the forehead pad soaks up and releases sweat like a sponge. If you raise your eyebrows, it squeezes the sweat out and makes it run down your face which feels super gross and also kind of dangerous (if it runs into your eyes, you can't see where you're going). I have to stop periodically and literally wring it out, which is also gross and inconvenient. Nobody else I know with a different helmet has this problem. I'm not an especially sweaty person either. I think the helmet also isn't vented very well (which I probably should have known from the picture).

The pros are that it was very inexpensive and if you're nervous, maybe the thickness would be comforting. Also the colors/design are pretty. The cons are that it may look dumb on you and it showers you with sweat whenever you move your face. I'm definitely going to replace it soon, but I'm in no rush since it is altogether a fine helmet.

I ordered this in the Highlander Pattern, and I feel compelled to inform you of its construction.

-The entire top of the cap is one layer of fabric, which may crinkle/collapse in. The Condor has a double layer in the front to maintain a nice shape. If you have a prominent round forehead and perfectly shaped skull, or a thick head of hair, you may fill it out nicely. I don't.
-The front Velcro Patch is 3.5" wide, which is wider than all the morale patches, so you have more loop patch showing, which looks tacky.
-Has a Velcro adjustment strap, and feels slightly bigger than the Condor brand.
-The seller info on the package, who was not labeled as Optics Planet, but rather, shopHYDRA, shipped it in 4 days, BUT, in a bubble wrap envelope, so it was smashed, wrinkled, and deformed when I got it. (I hate that!!)

What you might like:
-Velcro patch on top for an Infra red marker.
-Currently 100% :assembled" in America, according to the tag inside.

The Condor operator cap is a much better quality hat for half the price, so wait for them to get this new pattern, and buy that one.

My size is between medium and large, so although I found this one to be too small, it's not the only reason I returned it. The helmet feels cheap, the sun visor came down but didn't lock in place, and the chin strap padding didn't extend hardly at all, so the strap dug into my neck leaving a red, irritated mark after wearing it for just a few minutes. For a similar style helmet, I went with the Bell Revolver Evo instead. It's almost twice the price, but well worth it. And rather than squeeze into a medium, I'm going with the large + skull cap combination.

This is a really nice helmet but when I got it and tried it on, there was a really obvious bump inside of the helmet and it really hurt my head. I had to modify the interior of the helmet in order to make it more comfortable so I used the extra padding that Fox provided and stuffed it on the bump. After that, the helmet performs as it should. It has nice big vent holes near the top so your head gets the cooling that it needs, and there is a space on top of the helmet that is ideal for putting Go-Pro mounts. If this helmet didn't have the bump on the inside, it would of gotten 5 stars... Overall, if you modify the padding on the inside, it turns into a great helmet.

I have had this helmet for 1800 miles now including riding in gruelling heat.  The interior pads move around when they hot and sweaty. It fogs up pretty bad in the winter.  I wear a bacalava which helps keep the breath off of the shield.  The modular design is nice for those of us who wear glasses but my helmet won't open any more.  It takes a great effort to flip up the chin portion while it is on my head.  I have to slide it off and really pull at it to get it open.  It is very noisy and forget the internal face shield.  It rests on my nose and I'm sure I'll get an instant nose job in the event I go down.  I did purchase it because I have a big noggin at 3XL and the major manufacturers don't make large helmets.  Why that is I'm not sure.  So I had to settle for less than top notch.

I bought this hard-hat for use on my job.  I don't work construction or in manufacturing where this type of safety is paramount.  I'm a trucker.  But I do deliver to job sites and steel companies and gravel yards. There's also a growing population of Companies that are now requiring visitors and truckers that do business on their loading docks to wear a hard-hat.  I think some of them have taken the area safety a little over the top, but policy is policyit's not my company.  Here's the rub on this policy. They are willing to provide the hat to you for use during your visit.  The same hat somebody else just wore before you arrived.  In some places, especially in the summerthat visitor or trucker was sweating before he put the hat on.  'EVER WORN SOME ONE ELSE'S SWEATY HEAD GEAR?  Pretty gross!!  Ever hear of the mercer virus?  You can put all that negative crap behind you!  Owning your own Hard-Hat solves that problem!  Safety is put back into your hands!  The hat is adjustable by turning the band-ratchet at the back.  Your customers and/or your boss will be happy to see that your taking safety seriously.

I have a green camo skull cap that is wearing out after many years of use - I wish I bought a bunch of them at the time. I thought this might substitute, but the design is goofy. As other noted, it has a thick, wide piece of elastic (imagine cutting the elastic off some underwear) across the back half that I suppose is to make it snug, but instead makes it tight and very uncomfortable. My first use I put it on when I was fishing in a forest stream, and I had to take if off after five minutes. I promptly cut off the elastic (and the large prominent logo since it was crap, why should I advertise). Look elsewhere.

The hat is the worse part the chin strap as the smalles piece of velcro ive ever seen. Theres no chance of it staying on so forget it.

PRO's: Looks cool, lots of complements.

CON's: not safe; Does not fit well on head well.

I have struggled for month to get this thing to stay on right and today I was behind my son when he had a minor crashed, The hemet moved while in mid crash and exposed his head to the ground. no harm luckily but I will not use it again.

Get a helmet with an adjustable ratchet/dail style adjusters so that it can fit comfortably and remain in place during an accident.

This hat is TIGHT, as in, gives me headaches. I've tried stretching the material but it's not really budging a whole lot. And frankly, the description makes it sound easy to stretch it and that's not true at all, it takes considerable effort for the hat to feel like it's being stretched.

I'm going to try the "baseball glove" wear method and try to wear it in a little and make it work for me, but this is uncomfortable tight. I have two other hats in this style by other manufacturers and both are large sizes which fit fine. This runs SMALL.

Also, be sure you pick the right one. There is a winter and a summer cap, the winter cap will be even tighter because of the ear flaps that fold inside. If you are worried about it fitting right, get the one without a winter lining or get a size bigger. I got mine during a lightning deal so I don't know if I can return it or exchange it but I wish I could.

It's hard, plastic-like feel makes this hat useful only as a costume accessory.

it sits low on the head, and with all the pads that come with it, it is very easy to get a custom fit so there is no pressure points on your head.

Fit, but there is literally a bubble of empty space between the crown of my head and top of the hat.

Your Bump cap does fit and I find it is comfortable.  I have a problem with heat build up under the cap, but it does the job.

I have a 7 5/8 noggin.  This is perfect without having to use the drawstring.  It is simply a cloth hat - not a hard brimmed Stetson.  It keeps the sweat out of my eyes and the sun off the roof top.

It is not low profike and it is a structured cap. looks like a dome on my head. not happy.
