Matrix MICH 2000 Fiberglass Airsoft Helmet w/ NVG Mount & Side Rail (Color: OD Green)

"Excellent helmet, good fit. Light weight not heavy, would recommend some different more comfortable pads.

"This helmet is absolutely wonderful.

For one thing, it's fairly light and can be taken on and off easily; thankfully when it's on your head it fits snugly. Maybe it's because I'm a tall guy with a larger head, but I will say that even without the helmet strapped on; when it's just sitting on my head and is secure, I don't have any problems with looking down at my feet or bending over and then having the helmet fall off of my head. If for some reason the helmet doesn't instantly fit your head (which was the case with me, and I was dangerously close to returning it because of this), there's actually a dial on the piece that sits at the back of your head; I just twisted it all the way and it widened the strap so my head could fit in it, and now it fits like a glove. As such, you're able to adjust the size depending on the size of the wearer's head.

Getting the band of goggles around this thing is absolutely impossible though I'm almost certain that it's just the goggles that I'm wearing. Naturally, if you have goggles that have an adjustable elastic band or that are designed to be wrapped around PASGT or MICH helmets, then you won't have any issues with it.

Coloring-wise, I will say that this helmet is actually much darker in color than the one that's pictured on the sight, so this is more of a brown desert stone color than desert sand, if that makes sense. Keep that in mind before you try to match it with a bright-colored tan vest or shirt or pants or something.

An important detail is that cloth helmet covers do work on this thing, but you need covers rated for MICHs (Modular Integrated Communications Helmet, which is what this thing is). I used this one (https://www.evike.com/products/32139/), sold here on Evike.com; I picked that specific one just because the ACU digital pattern matches my vest and pants but you can use any of them that's rated for MICHs.

To get them on (because I couldn't find this out online, I'm sharing it here), you have to unscrew the night vision goggle mount and the side rails in order for the thing to fit on (oddly enough, with the one I bought I actually had to mount it on backwards for it to fit); once it's one you can just screw the rail mounts and NVG mount back onto the helmet and you get a stylish cloth cover AND modular rails for putting things like GoPro cases and headlamps/flashlights on.

If you're looking for a great middle ground that combines the classic look of Gulf War-era PASGT helmets (the MICH is a derivative of PASGT) with the practicality of FAST helmets, then look no further. This thing has a price tag on it but it's totally worth it.

"Fantastic. This helmet is absolutely amazing. I would buy this helmet over any other MICH helmet anyday. The weighting is perfect, feels just like the real thing. It comes with a removable nvg mount and side rails which are great if you're into putting flashlights on your helmets instead of weapons. This helmet will fit anyone from age 10+, although I would recommend buying a different one if your neck is particularly weak and you're planning on wearing for extended periods of time. As I said, it's heavy. The pads included make life on your head really easy when suffering concussive blows from branches, guns, wood, doorways, etc. making it really worth your buy. As for helmet covers, it fits each designated MICH 2000 cover I've tried but it really works best with my Rothco Woodland MARPAT cover. Note, you will have to cut small holes in the cover to fit screws in, although it shouldn't be a problem.

"I bought this helmet a few months ago. It's very well constructed, very comfortable. It came with plastic rails, the two side rails are able to be taken off. But the front seems to be glued or something. The padding are EXCELLENT, does not compare to other helmets. It has a coarse, Sandy texture, very realistic. The Velcro came to me, with it attached. The back Velcro panel is a 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" square. Just a tad small for a name tape. I would definetly recommend this to anyone. Worth the money.

"I got this helmet and it is worth the price!!!

Pros:
- DIY pads so you can custom fit it to your size
- NVG mound accepts almost all nvg mounts on the market ( and they fit snug, no wiggle room)
- the pads are soft so more comfort for all day use
- work really well with PVS 15 and GPNVG 18 nvgs
- the chin strap has leather on it so it adds to the comfort and does not dig in ti you
- Really nice in between light and dark tan color, it goes great with coyote tan and multi gear/bdu
- nice patch real estate

Cons:
- none what so ever

If you are looking for a good mich 2000 with nvg mount and side rail mounts than look no further. It is comfortable, practical, and just looks great with any loadout. 5/5

"Ordered this helmet a few months ago and other than the SNAFU when I got my order, it's been great to me. When I originally ordered it, Evike sent me one of the Emerson basic FAST helmets with the flip down visor, so I did end up having to return it for the correct item. When I got the correct helmet, I was extremely pleased; this is a very solid replica of the MICH-2001.

Pros:

Very solid
Comfortable padding
Nice weight
Plenty of velcro real estate


Cons:
Wish the chinstrap was a little easier to adjust, I'm most likely going to replace it with an actual Ops Core H-Nape

"Got this helmet yesterday and boy is this thing dirty! (as in bangin (as in awesome)) its a size large compared to regular Kevlar helmet the US military uses so my advice would be to go to your local surplus store and try on a large and see if you like the style and if it fits. I normally wear a medium one when I'm deployed but this still fits and its wide ear protection fits my comms I run (Matrix / Element Military Grade Tactical Communications Headset) I haven't worn this with my face mask yet but I imagine you would still have room with your glasses but not so much with goggles. I run smith boogie goggles and they fit great however it does block out the vent on the top of the goggle but I'm sure they still vent great.

Features:
-This is an emerson which is a great quality.

-The texture feels just like the anti reflective pain put on the real mich 2000.

-Comes with rails (that can be taken off to add a helmet cover and comes with NVG mount with bungees.

-Padding is just like the real thing prolly is the real pads (however the sticky side of the Velcro that holds the Velcro on the inside of the helmet is really weak on the top circular pad the rest hold to the helmet very well.

-Came with a bunch of Velcro on the outside on the helmet (flag patches on both sides above the rails and arch Velcro attaching the flag patches, a large square on the back for a name badge prolly to big for a name tape enless its a 6 incher and two in the front under the bungees for a blood type.

-Color for this one (tan) is really dark in color like a mix between coyote and sand it goes great with multicam or classic woodland BDU, any MARPAT desert or woodland also would work well with any ATACS and tri-desert.

-Chin strap is exactly like the real thing fits nice around your chin also comes with back of head strap and 4 adjustment points.

To sum it up!
Everything on this helmet is fantastic and up to spec with the real deal I'll give this 9.5 out of 10 stars because that top of the head pad is giving me trouble and I'll have to tape it down (don't glue it down because those pads can be replaced when they get super sweaty and gross there cheap too like $12 for 2 sets)

fits well
looks cool
light weight
good construction
con's
nun so far

"I preordered this helmet and when it finally arrived I was very pleased with the helmet. It's very durable and the padding on the inside is very comfortable when it is adjusted to your head. The picture shows black side rails, but the ones thst came on mine were tan, as well as the Velcro. However, there are some issues with the helmet. The Velcro doesn't come on the helmet, you need to put it on yourself. Also, the adhesive the Velcro has on it isn't good, so gluing it down with a better adhesive would be a better solution. The helmet is a little heavier than most would like, so think of that when you're running around for hours with it on. Also a side note, if you're using goggles with this helmet, sliding them on and slightly under the rails, so it rides on the ear covers, holds the goggles in place very well. If you're looking for a good helmet I would recommend this to anyone loooking for one.

Pros:
Durable
Nvg mount and side rails
Velcro for patches
Hefty (can be a con for some)

Cons:
Velcro doesn't come on the helmet (could've just been mine)
Velcro adhesive is bad
Bigger than some would expect (could be a pro for your use however)

This helmet is great for airsoft use and milsim if you aren't looking for an expensive mich 2000 the military uses. I'm not sure if helmet covers are made, but I would like to know if they are if anyone knows.

"Excellent helmet. not the exact color as the picture, the arc rails and nvg mount are darker.
Pros-
extremely comfortable
matches my gear
I wear this, revisions, and a mesh mask and it all looks, feels, and fits great
awesome looking
great finish

cons-
other than it being a little heavy and difficult to adjust, nothing at all

"i just got this helmet todayand my first thoughts were a little iffy but put it on i knew i made a good chose it is a very strong material and when ajusted properly is very comfertable

Pros:
nice padding
good strap
has rails
heavy but not to heavy
fits nice and snugg (when fitted)

Cons:
dosent have velcrow on the top of the helmet

this is a good helmet and i suggest it to anyone looking for a good helmet

"This is a good quality helmet. Might be a little on the heavy side, I don't know for sure as I've never felt any other helmet, but that makes it feel a little more real. It does not cover your ears at all, so you can use coms with it easily. There are actually mounts you can buy to stick coms on the rails if you want to get fancy. When I received mine, the straps were on the wrong side causing them to go right over my ear. I switcher em and it was much more comfortable. I've said nothing but good things about this helmet, but I would not recommend it to anyone. It's 80 bucks to look cool. Looking back, I would not have bought it and instead just continued to use my boonie hat. That being said, it does look VERY cool but I don't think the price is justified. Even so, I will give it five stars because there's nothing wrong with the helmet function wise.

PROS:
Heavy weight is more realistic
Comfortable
Padding on the inside is nice, and replaceable
OD green paint doesn't flake off when shot
Rails and a NVG/camera mount
Looks tacticool

CONS
Price is just way too high for what you're really getting. If you don't mind spending money to look cool, or need it for a certain look, then go for it.

"Well for one I got this helmet a few months ago and I must say I love it I mean already fixed it up and all official lol but the thing about it that's a little bad the paint chips off we got into a fire fight and the other team had a m249 if you how that feels when u get hit by it u know what I'm talking about well besides the point I took round to my plate carrier and my helmet and the paint chipped off I mean it did the job but you what do expected its airsoft but over all great helmet very tuff and you just hook it up to make it look like u want it to look I really recommend this helmet for the pros of this sport I also use it for training it's bad ass defiantly one of the best btw I bought in black since Od green was sold out for months but now they have it I'm not mad I wouldn't trade it in for nothing

"Great helmet however if you
A. Have a big head
Or
B. Plan on being prone a lot
Find a different helmet I got mine and if I wear it while filling my role as the designated marksman and go prone, very uncomfortable. Same if I wear it for long periods. This is because even though it is adjustable it has limits. On the other hand it is a very good quality helmet and would recommend me and my teammates did a stress test by unloading 1 mil sim m4 mag at a single point. This helmet literally just had marks left from the bbs while my teammates helmet cracked.

"Very comfortable and flexible and the mount in the front does not block goggles from being there. Chin strap not very comfortable. :(
