The D-List: Putting Safety Products to the Test with Warby Parker

This suit doesn't stand a chance (dramatic music). We bought the worst-reviewed safety products that we could find and today we're gonna test them out to see if they're as dangerous as the reviews say. He's Zach and I'm James, and this is the D-List.

Big thanks to Warby Parker for sponsoring today's video. Glasses are very important to me. They help me see properly, they trick everyone at Donut into thinking I know what I'm talking about, and they make a cool sound effect when I do this (clicks). But glasses are traditionally expensive, and kind of a pain to get.

Enter Warby Parker. Warby Parker is committed to providing exceptional vision care online and in stores, offering eyeglasses, sunglasses, contact lenses, and even eye exams. The best part is that glasses start at only $95, including prescription lenses. You should try Warby Parker's free home try-on program. Just answer a quick online quiz, and get five pairs of glasses to try on at home for five days.

There's no obligation to buy; it ships free, and includes a prepaid return shipping label. It's very, very convenient. I honestly like all the pairs I got, but I'm curious to know which pair you think I should get. Let me know in the comments below.

I now have five pairs of glasses to choose from, and you can too have five pairs of glasses at home for free by going to warbyparker.com/donut today. Now let's get back to the show (chimes).

Before we go any further, I just wanna make it clear that Jobe and I are not scientists. We don't have a professional testing facility. But we do encourage you to spend a little bit more money on safety equipment. You only get one life, and some of this stuff could save it.

First up, we have the Baizhuhua, Baizihucua? - Buzzy wah wah? - Yeah, one-piece safety hammer, vehicle emergency escapetools, car window breaker, emergency escape tools, vehicle accident survival tools, for emergency survival and rescue operations, so - One star!

One star. Harold James says,

escapetools, car window breaker,emergency escape tools, vehicleaccident survival tools,for emergency survival andrescue operations, so--- One star!- One star.Harold James says,"It does not cut seatbelts as advertised."- Ooh.- Ow, that's sharp!(laughing)- Definitely no seatbelt cutter.- Yeah, I don't see howthis would be expectedto cut a seat belt.- Oh, that kind of smashed in now.- Yeah.- All right, so the brakesjust gave out on this Jettaand James is about to drive into a lakewhere he has two options.(screaming)Either save himself with the hammerby busting out thiswindow, or drown to death.(shouting)(tires squealing)He's got 30 seconds totry to save his life.(imitates car crash)(tires squealing)Timer starts now!(grunting)Oh no, James!- Keep your head!- Don't drown!He's gonna live!- Oh no, my seat belt, I can't cut it!- Oh, he's gonna die!- It got everywhere.So it works, it works reallyeasy, first shot, sploosh.- Yeah, but now you gotta climb out.- No!(laughing)- It seems like a smashing success.- I mean, this thing works.Get one for your car, ifyou live in a wet place.- Yeah.Maybe go for one withthe seat belt cutter.- Yeah, why not?- Ooh.- Our next productis a very important one.It protects your noggin.Of course I'm talking aboutthe most important hatyou'll ever wear, a helmet.So we went with a $60 helmet,which is very inexpensive.- That is cheap.- This is the triple H--- Ah!- Stands for Hard Head Helmets.SmartDealsNow DOT adult full face helmetfor motorcycle, ATV, motocross.So this is certifiedto meet DOT's standard,heavily cushioned andcomfortable interior,which can be removed forwashing and cleaning,which is good.- Mmhmm.No, I mean, I gotta say,you know, when I was youngand getting intomotorcycles and dirt bikesfor the first time, a helmetwas kind of a barrier to entrybecause they're soexpensive to get a nice one.And so I could see like 16-year-old mebuying this $55 helmet--- For sure.- And using it.So I bet there's a lot ofpeople actually out therewith this on their noggin.- PMcCoy, one star."There's nothing redeemingabout this helmet."I bought this and used it temporarily"until I finished paintingmy regular helmet,"but it's already bugging me."Helmet seems too short andmy lips press against--"Oh that's sexy.(wolf whistle)"And my lips press"against the front of the helmet."And the D-ring is very hard to thread."- Ooh.- This is the box it came in.- Hm!- We didn't rip it.- Well, at least you knowit got tested along the way.- I normally wear a largeand this feels loose on me.And it really, I mean, itfeels like a lack of padding.My lips don't touch though.- That guy must have big old lips.Sexy.So what happens if a car hits yougoing about 23 miles per hour?- Can't feel good.(shrieks)- I doubt it.We're gonna drop a seriesof melons from about 15 feetonto the Jetta to simulatewhat it would look likeif your head got hit by a car.This is just a straight upwatermelon, no helmet, just hair.This is if you weren'twearing a helmet at all.(laughing)- Ooh!- That's a lot of brain!(slow-motion laughing)Not good, wear a helmet.- That looks like agood watermelon though.Anybody wanna save me a piece?So here we've got thetriple H one-star helmetbeing worn by our boy and Nolanand we're gonna dropit straight on its domeand see how it fares.That melon's intact!- Yeah, that's an intact melon.Now let's see how a melon doeswith a Snell-approved helmet.Right on the bend.Right on the bend.- That guy rolled.I think he's going to be okay though.- Yeah, head still seemsto be in one piece.Let's go inspect the damage.- I think it's pretty safe tosay that not wearing a helmetat all is a pretty bad idea.- Yep.So for the one-star helmet--- $60 one-star helmet.- Well, the melon is broken in half.Our force meter didn't trip,meaning it didn't reallyhit 100 Gs of force,but I think that's mostlybecause the force was absorbedby the breaking of the melon.If your head breaks inside of the helmet,that's an automatic fail.So I'm gonna call that a failure.- 'Cause your head carries your brain.- And you need that to live.- Your brain is the boss.All right, let's seehow the more expensiveSnell-approved helmet did.Got a little damage on the visor.- Ooh, but the melon?- The melon is intact.We did reach 100 Gs,meaning we do have a prettynasty concussion, but--- None of this.- I'd much rather notbe able to go to sleepfor a little while thengo to sleep forever.Our next product involves fire safety.Fire is one of the mostfear-inducing thingson the whole entire planet.- Fire's a real scary burn.- A lot of people use fire extinguishers,it's good to have a fireextinguisher in your carif it's modified.A lot of race cars and race seriesrequire fire suppression systems.We have a product thatclaims to put out firesin automotive use for afraction of the price.$20.99.You can get a fire blanket fiberglass fireemergency blanket, suppression blanket,flame-retardant blanket,emergency survival safety coverfor home kitchen, camping,fireplace, car, RV, boat.- Well, you can use 'em anywhere.- Yeah, it's a four-pack.It's a fiberglass blanket,it won't catch on fire,it'll smother a fire.- Yeah, I guess that's the idea.Removes the ability for the fireto get any more oxygen, right?Just smothers it out.But the problem with that that I seeis that if you've got afire in your engine bay,you throw a blanket on top of it--- A lot of air isstill able to get in there.- Yeah.But I mean, if you coverthe top, I don't know,I could see it working I guess.There's a one-star reviewfrom Mike F and he says,"Dookie.(fart sound)"Not good."I think Mike is the onlyperson who's used this.And he's like, you know what?- That sucked.- That sucked.- My house burned down.- I used to have a fricking cabin, bro,and now I don't have anything.- Oh, and how big are these things?I mean--- 13 by eight.- Okay so not quite awhole car, half a car.- Inches.- What?- They're 13 by eight inches.(laughing)- I don't know.(dramatic music)- Catastrophic rear engine fire!- Oh no!You're gonna have to put that out, James,you're gonna have to put that out quickor the whole thing's gonna burn down!Get a fire blanket.- Here, take careof your tools!(dramatic orchestral music)Fire brigade, fire brigade, fire brigade!- Well he's got a blanket.You missed a little!(laughing)- It stinks.- Yeah, we're melting fiberglass.But I don't see anymore flames.- It's extinguished, baby!- You saved the truck!You saved the day!- Fire blanket works.As long as the fire issmaller than this blanket,it seems to work, so I would sayyou should still have an extinguisher.This next product isn'treally about your safety,it's about your car's safety.So we got the Xotic, just anX, Tech car front rear bumpercorner protector guardstwo-piece carbon fiber pattern.So this is two pieces thatgo on the front bumperaround the corner, andsupposedly it protects your carfrom a little fender benderysituation--- Yeah, you know,parking by feel, that type of thing.A lot of cars used to come with, you know,strips on the bumper thatwere basically there for that.Edwin G. Bourne."Should have listened to recent reviews."The adhesive is horrible,it fell off 15 minutes"after putting it on."I put the heater bloweron them for 15 minutes"and they fell off again."I need a refund."Very disappointed."That adhesive did not work."Loved the idea, but theyfell off the first day.""Cheaply made, does not stick.""Doesn't stick to the bumper."Okay, guys, listen to your customers.Make the bumper stickers better!You can tell it's always good qualitywhen they misspell quality on the package.- Good coolity.- Good coolity.- No mention of the brandname Xotic Tech though.- Uh-uh.- I think we've been bait and switched.- Like, I mean, these are cheap and dumb.Which would you rather have,potentially a couple ofscratches on your bumperfrom someone running into you,or definitely these, always?We are now installing ourbumper protector stripsin carbon fiber look.The three W adhesive didn't quite workso we're hitting it with a heat gun.- Boy oh boy!- It sticks, looks stock, dude.- Hell yeah.- It's OEM.- Get some new carbon fiber accents.- All right, Zach!(engine revs)(dramatic music)You're good.- Should I--- Yeah, just goose it.- Oops!- You hit it way harderthan I thought you would.All right, let's see.- You said goose it!- Yeah, this was here, butdefinitely didn't get any better.I think this crack got worse.Lots of spidering, andsome paint transfer.There's white on the truck.- You hit it somuch harder than I thought.- You wanna see if Ican hit it even harder?- Yeah.- All right.(laughing)- Goose it.Ooh!You got a nice little crack right there.Again, some spidering, a lot of spidering.- So you can see above andbelow the bumper guard,everything just bent andthis still made contactwith the truck and rubbed the paint off.So I guess this sort ofprotected this specific area,but so what?- All in all I would say the bumper guardsare one of the best-lookingand most tasteful modificationsyou can make to a car.I mean, they're carbon fiber look.But didn't really do anything.- Now sure, I was runninginto the truck a little hard,(laughs)I suppose a light tap,this might save you, but--- I think the bestthing to do is be careful.- Learn how to drive!Parking especially.- We have one last product to testand it is one of the worst thingsthat you can possibly cheat on.If you are in a positionwhere you have to useone of these things, you want a good one.- You want it to work.It's literally meant to save your skin.- Yeah, so you might notwant to go to wish.com,like we did, and found this$65 new Sparco racing suit.John says, "The item is waytoo small and does not have any"compliance tags that makeit suitable for motor racing."It is possible that thisitem is not genuine."We don't jump to conclusionson this show, all right?This is a serious consumer review program.We went directly to Sparco,showed 'em our suit,and this is what they had to say.Hey, Warren, what's going on, man?- Hey, what's happening?Hey!- Good to see ya.- Good to see you, man.So I got this wish.com Sparco suit.- This is completely counterfeit,I mean, you can tell.There's no certification on it.Yeah, this is not evenclose to being a fire suit.(laughing)I would say the only wish would beyou wish you weren't wearingthis if you caught on fire.(evil laughter)- Our mannequin here doesn'treally have any skin,so to speak, so to add a level of realism,we added some meat to theequation, just like a human.So we're gonna torch thisthing and see if this suitsaves his bacon or just lets it cook.And if you're wonderingwhy the chest of our dummyis censored, we made a community poston Donut Underground.We said the most-likedcomment we'll get writtenon the race suit and you guys voted--- Definitely voted.- And it was a little inappropriate.(crowd gasps)So to find out what it said,you're gonna have to jointhe Donut Underground,hit the join button down belowto find out more about that.Should we test the suit?- Let's see if this thing burns!So you're driving a racecar and all of a suddensome gasoline leaks intothe footwell onto your feetand your feet catch on fire at the ankles.Let's see what happens.(dramatic orchestral music)- You wish youweren't wearing thisif you caught on fire.- Oh god, you're gettinghit right in the chestwith a fireball comingright out of the steering--Oh my God, that is not holding up.That's like a plastic bagmelted onto that man's skin!Well that suit's just on fire!It just went up immediately,I didn't do anything.- Yeah, immediately just gone.- But that mannequin's doing pretty well.- Mannequin's doing okayand the Donut beanie's doing pretty good.- Just kinda lookscool, it's a little charred.(James laughs)- And we're not using the fireblanket for this one, sorry.- Well, the bacon's on the ground.I don't know if it got fully cooked,but it definitely didn't fare well.- That guy's dead.(laughing)I mean, you guys saw, thatthing went up like that,immediately, like fasterthan normal clothes.- Yeah, it was like a flammable suit!(laughing)- Yeah!The opposite of what you're looking for.There's actual clothingfrom our store on therethat didn't burn.I'm not saying that Donutmerch is flame retardant,but it might save your life.- It might.- Dude, that was insane.- I'd say this wasour most egregious loserof the day.This thing is not worth buying.- Not good.Thank you for watching this videoand everything else on
