Mich helmet is a combat helmet and one of several used by the military.It was develope to be the next generation of protective combat helmets for use by the Army.
The main reason for the development of the mich helmet was due to the protective but heavy PASGT being supplanted by these bump helmets by special forces operators due to them being lighter,more comfortable, closer-fitting,and made of plastic making them easier to mount accessories onto,especially night vision devices and communications headsets.The mich helmet and its derivatives,the Advanced Combat Helmet and Enhanced Combat Helmet have fully replaced the PASGT in active Army service and is in use with all branches of the military in at least some capacity.
