Fit & finish is on point and comfortable to wear.
Michael B.
Special Mission High Cut Tactical Level 3A Ballistic Helmet
This helmet is pricey but solid as Hell. I love the ARC rail system and the optic mount. There's a little ridge along the inner lining at the posterior seam that's minimally uncomfortable after wearing it for a few hours. Otherwise, I can wear it all day. The camo pattern is ideal. As technology improves, I hope they can offer the same protection with less weight. After measuring my head, the size is perfect. Overall, I'm super-happy to have made this purchase.
