Ive been searching for a ballistic helmet for a while now.  My budget is tight and i came across these helmets on ebay.  Only problem is that they are really inexpensive for what they claim to be and ship from hong kong.  I would hate to waste 2hundred bills on worthless plastic.  They claim to be lvl3 kevlar.  Any help would be appreciated.

You can pick up used ACH and MICH helmets all day long on e-bay for reasonable prices.  Unless you have a huge melon then you'll have to pay more.  I wear an XL and they are hard to find.

This is just a few months of adding to the collection.

That is probably a Chinese airsoft replica helmet.

When selecting a helmet with ballistic protection, "Made in Hong Kong, China" would be a warning sign.

A legit version of that style helmet you're looking at would start at over $800.

Don't touch any armor outside of the us, especially anything from china or similar countries with records to selling sketchy merchandise.

If you budget is tight, this is the least expensive high cut IIIA helmet I know of at $300 before shipping:

If you think you need the helmet for no shit social purposes, break out the benjamins and buy quality.  Hong Kong and kevlar don't belong in the same sentence.  

Used ACHs are out there in numbers.  It's not the latest high cut guchi gear queer but a lot of us have worn them and handed out dirt naps without issue.

I can recommend that helmet as well. I've had one for a while now, and it's been great.
