Modern Day Military Helmet Types?
hi I am a collector of military equipment and I have moved on to buying helmets. the problem is, I am completely clueless what types i have to choose from. I have heard of kevlar ac100 and all that but i don't know what they mean and the difference between each one. Basically my question is, can someone please take the time to explain each modern day U.S helmet please! thank you





The helmet itself, modern ones, are all the same. The differences are in the chin straps and webbing, padding, etc. on the inside. Most of it is all interchangable
Dunno about the US ones. But the one the Israelis developed is amazingly comfortable and light, you could almost fall asleep just wearing it, lol. It’s very good in a practical sense too, giving plenty of room for peltors (reactive hearing protection) or radio headsets, and still offers plenty of protection.
Sorry I can’t answer about the US helmets.
The Army now issues the ACH (Army Combat Helmet). I don’t really know anything about the specs but it uses a set of pads that you can arrange to fit your head and the straps now attach to 4 points of the helmet instead of 2 like in the older versions.
how can you tell what kind of helmet i have ? we have the one that has the weabing unside
