Great hard hat would be better if you could add ventilation to it like the studson and Milwaukee hard hats no comparison I know but I work in the desert and it gets to 125+ and ventilation is key love my Milwaukee for that but other than that I hate it this is far superior
Installation was easy enough, a bit of velcro covered the hardware on the helmet that needs to be removed for this to fit, i used some scissors and cut away a small bit. The hardware screws down nice and easy, the pouch itself is very planted and doesnt shift. I run the pouch empty until i don nods, but sometimes ill keep a spare battery or 2 in the pouch. Helmets are heavy and you shouldnt run weight on your helmet if you dont have to. Pouch itself is very lightweight, feels like the same weight of a PVC morale patch, maybe lighter. stitching and seems are all good and effective. Good product. Also quick shipping, like very fast.
I own your bump helmet and hard hat, so I figured I needed a sweatshirt to complete the set. I am a commercial diver and we live in sweatshirts when not in the water. My Sgt **** hoodie is quite warm and well made, not to mention that the logo is cool. Good sweatshirt! Good products!
Cons:
My velcro inside the hard hat and outside immediately started to come off. Same for the wrap. Seems a bit expensive to have these immediate problems. Not the best for bigger heads. Not compatible with other attachments. Cost.
Pros:
Comfortable. Easy to use retention system. Unique look. Fairly light. After 10 our days no fatigue. A step above other hard hats.
Overall:
Have a lot of hope for this product. Would love to see it updated to reflect the cost.
Michael, email inbound to get you sorted on the velcro. Will send more if needed! Also, any photos you can provide is always really helpful for us. Thank you for the review, as we do pay attention to these and they become the basis for all our improvements!
It was pain to swap out the headgear in order to install the retention system. The headgear for the retention was missing the important Velcro that sticks to the inside of the hard hat. I had to install it myself. Also headgear sits rather high on top of the head. I wish it had a lower fit, there’s no way to adjust it.
Jay, that's on us, chin-strap should have velcro included in the packaging. We will email to make it right. For the ride height it's going to depend a lot on skull shape, right now we have the crown gap set at a safe margin for passing impact testings. However something we may play with in the future!
I am quite pleased with the impressive appearance of my ATE GEN 3 helmet. Upon trying it on, the fit was absolutely perfect, I must say. The helmet feels lightweight, and I intend to purchase the micro lattice helmet pads in the near future. I am very satisfied with HHV, and they have gained a lifetime supporter.
Got mine yesterday, wearing it today. A few things a vented option would be great, here in Houston it gets humid. Also is there a way to apply stickers to the tan/green ones?
I was so excited to get my Kevy Slick, customer service did a fantastic job getting it shipped out to me as soon as it was ready. I was a little disappointed I had to completely take out the headgear and re-install the “Chin strap” adaptable headgear. Also it was not compatible. I had use my own Velcro to hold it in place to fit my head comfortably. It also seems like the headgear is a little small. I ussually wear a large headgear so my hard hat sits low. This one seems to sit high which takes some getting used to, but other than those two issues it’s very good.
I gave a review but didn't give it a rating, my rating for this helmet is 5 Stars Comfortable!!
this helmet is very comfortable.
helmet accessories are a work in progress...
I am very pleased with how this helmet rests on my head and it is very comfortable to wear.
Helmet is of good quality, rail system absolutely sucks. You have to search the web for adapters to fit almost everything you’d like to run.
I was very excited to receive the helmet as I heard about its quality. I am happy to report that the helmet didn’t disappoint. Build quality is great. Fit was spot on. I have a question and called customer support who immediately answered my question. I would buy from them again.
The ATE Bump is a fantastic piece of kit, particularly when you factor in the price. It's extremely lightweight, very comfortable, and doesn't break the bank. Highly recommend.
I got my new Kevy hardhat a couple of weeks ago. I really like it. It’s light and fits really well. My only complaint is the Velcro patch holders on the helmet don’t really stick to the hard hat very well. The one on the back is already peeling off. I could literally peel them right off if I wanted to. Also as a Union sheet metal worker, I like to put stickers on my hardhat and nothing sticks to the coating on the hardhat. Other than that, I really like it. I’ve got a lot of compliments on the job site.
It’s a great helmet. Sturdy, durable, and reliable.
So far so good was able to get a good fit with all the included padding, helmet is comfortable and doesn’t feel heavy after wearing long term. Hopefully I never get to test it!
