Matrix Light Weight IBH Airsoft Helmet w/ NVG Mount (Color: Black)

"Just recieved this helmet today. The quality is outstanding, the padding isn't so great I recomend getting the condor helmet padding, it's much nicer. The chin strap however isn't sewed on correctly and is further on the side than in the middle, but I just strap it under my chin. But this helmet is the best one I haved ever owned. 4/5 stars due to the chin strap.

"overall, its a nice assault helmet. a couple cons to it would be the padding and straps. the padding just sucks and can tear apart easily, recommend getting a matrix helmet pad kit to go with this. and the straps came frayed, and they are very cheap nylon, i can see myself getting a strap system soon for it. but for the price its great, and it comes with a metal nvg mount.

honestly i wish i had gotten the matrix m200 mich, but it came out after i bought this one. personal experience with a mich helmet lets me say it sit flush with anyone's head, and comes with good padding and straps.

"extremely great helmet, love the feel and look of being tactical
pro: tactical

con: -chin strap doesnt stay in middle, if fully adjusted the strap on the side will be on top of year ear and might hurt your ear during gameplay
-could use thicker padding

"Overall very comfortable and effective but trouble with the screws as I had to constantly retighten the screws on the helmet which kept the straps on

"Many who have reviewed this helmet say that it is the best reproduction out there. They must have never worn a real helmet of any kind. The padding is terrible; a joke really, which could not possibly last for one single hot day. The straps are simply impossibe. The hardware is total fallapart junk. Better hardware (by far) comes with a 5 dollar kids bicycle helmet from Wal Mart! I do understand the purpose of this helmet, and do not expect a real protective item, but c'mon guys, really. The holes for the NVG mount were drilled off center, every screw in the helmet was loose, some of them were missing, and I had to mess with this helmet for half an hour to be able to wear it. I eventually gave up on the straps and padding that came with it, threw it all away, and put my own straps and padding in. If I had not coincidentally had a set of Skydex ballistic helmet upgrade system sitting around, I would have had to send this helmet back. Totally impossible to wear in any way as I received it. It's just a pity that I had to use a hundred dollar set of pads to fix up a sixty dollar plastic fake helmet. Oh well, it's still 500 bucks cheaper than the real thing, and easier to get. On the plus side, once I upgraded the helmet, it looks and feels great. My recommendation; if you want a nice special-ops helmet reproduction, don't forget to EBay up a set of real pads and straps, (PASGT will work fine) and be prepared for some serious frustration in making them work.

"This is probably on of the worst helmets ive recieved. 1. It didn't fit. I had to take out some of the foam padding on the inside to even make it fit. 2. The paint easily scratched off. One little scratch and the paint came off. 3. the straps were aweful. After using the helmet for 2 weeks, the straps broke off. I tried to fix them, but it didn't work. This helmet was a huge waste of money. I am regretting that I ever bought it.
