Looking to find one, wanted one for a while but havent done much searching. Im mainly worried about getting one because I have a larger then average head, or so im told. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Not looking to spend more then $100.

Try looking into one of the Condor helmets. You'd have to have a pretty big melon to not fit in one of those.

Your standard cheapo $40 replica MICH helmet is a good choice (like the one here: www.cheaperthandirt.com/HAT114-1914-1896.html ). I also have a huge noggin, and the adjustable interior pads on the replica MICH are easy to remove so as to accomodate my enormous throbbing brain. Get a handful of helmet covers, and your MICH replica will be able to work for any loadout you can imagine. After I almost knocked myself senseless at OP: Safari Strike 2, I've always worn a helmet.

I'm pretty sure that's the same one I have. (Bought mine on ebay though for the CQB season a while back.) A bit of velcro, a few accessories and a dash of krylon later.... The OLKA helmets from www.boomarms.com are probably the best looking (and most expensive) replicas available, however I've heard the chinstrap needs replacing so expect to pay an additional $30+ for a real deal replacement.

I really like your helmet, Hado. It's perfect. Where did you get the NV mount?

I believe he got the NV mount on eBay. The cheapish replicas I have seen are rather nice, and for airsoft you don't need a very expansive one. Especially if you plan on putting some kind of helmet cover on it.

Correct, both the mount and the rhino came from ebay. Paid a mere $8.65 for the rhino too which was rather surprising as they tend to sell for a lot more than that. ebay ftw!

Yeah, they will fit a head that large. There's plenty of hook-type velcro on the inside of the helmet shell. The pads simply stick to the velcro, so you will be able to swap them around such that they accomodate a larger size head. Mine came with a few different thicknesses of pads, so there's even more customization ability.
If it happens that your head is just too big for the included pads, it would be fairly simple to find thinner replacements at a craft store, from old bike helmets, or what have you.
