(Unless, of course, were talking about SWAT helmets, etc.).
BulletSafe offers a very low-profile product designed to fill that gap in protection by offering a bulletproof baseball cap.
Yes, you read that right.
And it only costs $99.
One things for certain: itsdefinitelydiscreet.
Does It Work?
Okay, so weve established that its certainlyfeasible, but is itpractical?
Thats really what we want to know, and the only way to establish that is by shooting it!
My first test was three rounds of .22 LR.
Youd probably have a headache and cut on your head, but not a holeinyour head.
Nonetheless, the hat performed as advertised (able to stop one round) and way beyond.
The bulletproof baseball cap from BulletSafe withstood several rounds at close range without letting any of them break through.
Its designed for more of a one-and-done situation.
Youd be injured, for sure, but you would not have a bullet hole in your head.
Is It a Good Buy?
After all the testing, the final question to be answered is, Is it practical?
There are, of course, caveats to this.
Like all armor, this product is not without its considerations.
First and foremost, it only protects the front third of your head.
If youre taking fire from the sides or behind, youre out of luck.
Next is the rating, which will only protect you from pistol calibers.
Of course, something is better than nothing, but you have to keep the rating in mind.
Finally, you dont see normal people wearing plate carriers around town just for the hell of it.
Sure, this is discreet enough that youcouldwear it all the time, but do you reallyneedto?
I guess thats up to you.
And frankly, thats for whom it was designed.
Outside of that market, well, thats your decision.
Im just here to make you aware of your options.
And it is one heck of an option for not a lot of money.
