I have been researching the evolution of ballistic protection, specifically moving from the standard ACH to more modern high-cut polyethylene helmets. While the reduction in weight is a clear advantage for long-term neck health and maneuverability, I am interested in the community's take on Back Face Deformation (BFD). Whenll arms fire, do you believe the trade-off in blunt force trauma protection is negligible compared to the increased mobility? I'm particularly interested in hearing from those who have compared trauma pad configurations and their effectiveness in dispersing kinetic energy
