PASGT

I couldn't tell you technical details, but everything below the PASGT is better suspension and ballistic protection wise I think (Well, I know about the suspension since I have a PASGT and a MICH 2000) |

Guess I've been educated, I didn't know about those. I just listed out MIL issued helmets plus the one I found while browsing TNVC |
I love mine.. the helmet is an XL and a heavy bastard.. but I can wear it all day with the OA kit

+1 NYSP trooper took a pistol round to the front of his RBR Combat Mk-1 about a year ago, and it saved him. They are the only helmet on the market I know of to meet the HP White Helmet Test standard: 1 rd per quadrant (4) total, 1 rd directly on the top, and 1 rd directly on a bolt, with both 9mm and .44 Magnum. |
