For auction a gently used size Medium, MSA MICH Advanced Combat Helmet. The helmet is complete with a new never issued NVG mount, size 6 Oregon Aero pad system, and MSA reversable cover. You can see from the photographs that this helmet is in like new condition. This following is for information purposes only. The Advanced Combat Helmet, or ACH, has replaced the old Kevlar helmet. The ACH is 3.5 lbs lighter then the old model and is cushioned on the inside, which sits more comfortably on a Soldiers head. It also has a different suspension system inside which allows a Soldier to fight more effectively when wearing body armor. The ACH is a helmet system that provides ballistic and impact protection. This system is compatible with the current night vision devices (NVG's), communications packages, and nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) defense equipment and body armor. The ACH provides ballistic protection within the full spectrum of operational environments. The ACH allows maximum sensory and situational awareness for the operator. This includes an unobstructed field of view and increased ambient hearing capabilities. The ACH's chinstrap retention system and pad suspension system provides unsurpassed balance, stability, and comfort. This system provides for proper size, fit, and ventilation. The ACH's pad suspension system provides impact protection throughout all operational scenarios, including static-line airborne operations. The ACH is compatible with night vision, communications, and Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) equipment. The ACH weighs approximately 3 lbs for the size medium, 3.25 lbs for the size large, and slightly more than 3.6 lbs for the extra large. The edge cut of the shell has been reduced when compared to the Helmet, Ground Troops and Parachutists. This enables better situational awareness through improved field of vision and hearing. The shell provides ballistic protection. While the ACH has 8 percent less surface area than the Personnel Armor System Ground Troops, or Kevlar, helmet had, most of the material was removed from the front of the ACH, with a smaller amount removed from the sides. Nothing was removed from the back of the helmet. The pads act as a suspension system providing sizing and fitting. In conjunction with the shell, the pad suspension system provides impact protection. In conjunction with the chinstrap retention system, the pad suspension system provides stability. The chinstrap retention system is a four-point design, attaching to the shell at four locations. In conjunction with the pad suspension system, it provides improved stability. The ACH provides the user greater situational awareness, comfort and fit than the standard PASGT (kevlar) helmet. It is also compatible with the Interceptor Body Armor (IBA), offering the soldier improved target acquisition in all rifle and carbine firing positions, especially the prone position. However, in cases w the ACH is improperly fitted and worn too high on the head, the soldier may be exposed to increased risk from fragmentation. Improper wear may be caused by misunderstanding the wear standards, poor pad placement inside the helmet, improper fit, the incorrect crown pad inside the helmet, or a combination of the above.
