This thing is enormous, larger than a basketball and looks like a Spaceballs helmet when wearing it, that is what I was most surprised by. It also weighs a ton, about 10 pounds with the Aventail, but it doesn't feel that bad to wear and balances well. But if you moved in it wrong you would probably get a neck injury.
Protection for the GOST 2 helmet is around NIJ 3A, with the GOST 1 face shield probably at or below a 2A level based on various videos.
The overall build quality is quite poor in my opinion compared to western helmets, but what do you expect I suppose, Overall very cool item!
