Good replica of a MICH 2000?

[Dahm]

Hey guys,

I'm starting to look for a good, respectable replica of the MICH 2000 issue helmet for the US Army. There are a lot of crap replicas, using cheap chin straps and fake, flimsy plastic, and since they are all "textured" its hard to tell from pictures what's good and what's not.

Can anyone share their experience with a certain brand of replica MICH, or at least help point me in the correct direction for a good one?

I haven't really followed the replica helmet industry much over the years, which is why I'm pretty clueless.

(By the way, don't respond to this with some random link to a replica MICH. I have plenty of those. I'm looking for good/bad, pros/cons).


Thanks guys.

the one I have I bought from Airsoftgi. Pretty comfortable, looks real and the chinstrap is good too.

It fits a small/medium-ish head though, so if you're looking for something bigger I would stay away from the one I just mentioned.

Kiki could probably give you a more detailed perspective on it because I think he wore it for a good second, not sure though.

Whats the weight on it? Is it ABS or Fiberglass? I have a pretty normal sized head. Maybe slightly on the large size, but not too much. I have really short hair, so it doesn't add a lot of bulk.

I found this one which looked really legit. Its fiberglass which is cool.

That looks a lot like mine. Arent OE Tech and Condor equal or am I getting crap confused? If so then that is mine.

I would say go with that one just basing it off how it looks like mine.

Of course you could just be BALLIN' and look for a real one somewhere

Eh I'll pass on a real one. Not worth the price... I will be throwing a real rhino strap mount and arm on it though. They're cheap nowadays.

I have one of the ones off airsoftgi Dahm, they are made of a pretty tough fiberglass and look pretty good.

But like Melson said its a S-M.

The only real problems with it are small ones. The holes drilled in mine for the chin strap are slightly uneven. You can't really tell unless you take it off and eyeball it really well. Also the chin strap it came with is pretty much garbage. I fixed the with an aftermarket Head-Loc H nape. Cost more than the helmet I have nothing else to say but its useless without it. Then I put on a NVG mount and its good to go.

If you have a S-M head its worth it but only if you are willing to buy another chin strap.

[Dahm]

Ah, thanks DOHC. Sounds like I may nab one when they're back in stock.

Boom Arms makes hands down the best MICH rep.

I have a real 2000, and they are indistinguishable.

I have 3 CONDORS sitting around.
They are shit.

[Dahm]

Wow... $120. $109. I don't know man. I better love it.

I'll definitely consider it though.

Trust me, if you're going to buy one, either find a real one on the cheap or buy the one off Boom Arms. Roughneck and I spent a couple hours comparing helmets side-by-side in the mirror, I ended up being very depressed. I either have a medium helmet for a large sized head, or mine is just not sized correctly compared to the real one.
