. You are bidding on an ACH (Advanced Combat Helmet) in size Large, manufactured by Specialty Defense. This is the new style helmet designed to ride higher on the head than the older PASGT helmet which it replaced, while at the same time maximizing protection while reducing weight, improving hearing, and improving vision. Condition is lightly used, but it's difficult to tell it's not new. The only minor imperfection I could comment on would be what appears to be something like paint overspray on the rim (or possibly underspray from when it was assembled and not fully painted), that was on it when I got it. It's only visible when the helmet is upside down and without a cover but thought it was worth mentioning. This has the highly desired green chinstrap rather than black. Also included are goggle-holder straps, and the helmet is predrilled for an NVG mount on the front. Size 6 pads are standard, but I also have a set of size 8 if requested. For additional information, go to the Specialty Defense website at / . Following is additional information from Natick Labs: MICH helmet brings new level of user comfort and protection The Modular Integrated Communications Helmet (MICH) began development in 1997 as part of the Special Operations Forces Personal Equipment Advanced Requirements program at the U.S. Special Operations Command. The MICH provides the Special Operations Forces the flexibility to tailor the communications capability of the helmet to the mission using one modular system. "Preliminary users across the range have been more than happy with the helmet," said Richard Elder, equipment specialist with the Special Operations Forces Special Projects Team at the U.S. Army Soldier Systems Center ( Natick ). Although molded like the current, standard-issue Personnel Armor System, Ground Troops (PASGT) helmet in use since the early 1980s, the MICH trims away the edge for improved visibility, unobstructed hearing, reduced weight (less than 3 pounds without communication equipment) and easier integration with body armor. "The fact that the edge of the helmet rides higher allows it not to impede with the combat mission. You can use it with all types of body armor without feeling clumsy by bumping into it," Elder said. "You can shoot much easier in the prone position without the helmet slumping and blocking your vision. We can take away the soldier's attention from equipment concerns so he can focus on the mission." I sell and ship only to the continental US, and not outside these limits. Buyer certifies he is over 21, not a felon, and is not legally prohibited from purchasing and possessing body armor. No warranties as to suitability for final use of this item are either expressed or implied. This item will not be sold or shipped to residents of Connecticut . Buyer pays shipping, which is a flat rate $15.00 for careful packaging and USPS Priority Mail with delivery confirmation.
