Bought a Gen 1 because of my large head in which most helmets don't seem to fit quite right. Took quite a long time to even ship, nearly 3 weeks. Contacted them about the shipping time around 10 days... See more

Well made, Cheap compared to other brands at the same ballistic rating. Padding could be better, but can't expect super comfort at this price range and replacement pads are cheap. Helmet is a little... See more

This product is expensive. However its built better than say the 5.11 product. Love that you can order all the same color of plate carrier and side plates carriers unlike 5.11 brand. My only criticism... See more

I hate giving money to the Chins ... But ..

I hate giving money to the Chins, but it is a decent helmet. And half the cost of the American equiv. Fits good and my Rino mount snaps in rock solid to the shroud. ARC mounts and bungee retainers seem solid, and Youtube shows people proving out the 3a protection on these. Sorry USA you built the international consumer economy. We have to live in it.

I'm sure the products are great

I'm sure the products are great, but I wouldn't know since the customer support team (Travis) made it absolutely impossible for me to place an order for a friend of mine.
He tried to place an order but it bounced, presumably cause he's not state side. Which I guess means that they don't want to make international sales, pretty strange off the bat.
I then tried to place an order and have it shipped to a different address than my billing address, which subsequeantly bounced not once, but twice.
I was told by Travis that my order got flagged for fraud cause shipping and billing address was not the same. In what world that would be an issue, I don't know.

On every website I've ever ordered from there's a box to tick if your billing address is the same or not, and the same goes for this one, so what's the issue?
Payment went through, but Travis is still claiming they can't risk losing $1k of merch. How are you losing anything when payment has cleared?

At this point, instead of contacting me and trying to straighten it out, Travis sends me a stroppy email stating that any order I try to place will get cancelled.
On top of that, they drag their feet refunding the payments.
Thanks Travis, employee of the year!

All in all, one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. And a very strange way of doing business.
I guess they don't need/want the sale.
I would stay clear of this business, just based on their customer service (Travis) alone.

Hi Erik,
Travis here. Just to further clarify why we could not place your order. Shipping protective equipment to another country outside of the USA requires obtaining the necessary licenses and adhering to specific regulations from the U.S. Department of State's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC). This is why the original order was canceled. Then you admittedly placed another order to try to circumvent these laws and regulations. This is both illegal and considered fraud. This is why your orders were denied. Refunds were issued the same day they were canceled which was in 24 hours.

The order took longer than initially…

The order took longer than initially expected. I emailed and called about the concern. Travis was great to deal with, he reassured me the order would be fulfilled once the helmet was received by them. I just got it today...well worth the wait for the Gen I Ballistic Helmet IIIA.

Customer service is great

Customer service is great.
It took forever to receive my helmet but Travis and the rest of the team went out of their way to make things right. Because of that I will definitely be ordering again.

Hi Devin,
We apologize for the issue. We had run into some supply chain issues that we were working through at the time. I did want to clarify that we do carry items that are made in the USA, but not every item we carry is, but we are honest and upfront and that information is listed on the website. We are currently working with you to make things right.

Good service

Overall, good experience. I paid for 2 day shipping, but after a week did not even have a tracking number. I called the company and they let me know the acetac Gear was behind. They refunded me the price of the shipping because of the delay, were helpful and friendly when responding to me, and the order came fairly quickly after our correspondence, exactly how I had ordered it.
A good company is responsive to its customers, and has helpful customer service when something goes wrong, just like this company was

This product is expensive. However its built better than say the 5.11 product. Love that you can order all the same color of plate carrier and side plates carriers unlike 5.11 brand. My only criticism is the side plate carriers should arrive at the same time as the main plate carrier.

Best Option For Great Gear

I found a great first aid trauma kit here at an awesome price. I’d been searching around a bit for something that has that little extra. I was pleased with Ballistic Armor. The quality was what I’d expected when I got the kit in my hands. I dare say better than what I was able to find at our local Army/Navy Surplus Supplier. I hope I never have to use this kit.
