Helmet Strap/Harness Question

ericwilliam · April 1st, 2011, 16:36

Hey guys, I'm looking to upgrade the straps in my MICH2000 but, unfortunately, I don't have much knowledge on what the best stuff available is. The cheap system it came with I find does not have much support and allows the helmet to move around when I am moving at speed. So I'm kind of looking to get rid of that. Also, I do carry some weight on the helmet with an NVG shroud and Rhino arm.

Anyone with info/strap systems they reccomend, please hook me up with some info!

Thanks tons in advance.

Ops-Core Chinstraps are the best! worth the money for sure!

Got a real or repro helmet?

You can get Skydex sets for as cheap as ~30 bucks with pads and straps. That'll be a good thing over the OOTB repro harness crap.

If you got a real helmet and/or enough money, OPS-CORE is indeed as good as it gets.

Mine is a Repro, but I'm willing to spend a good amount to make it comfy and make it work.

Are there issues with Ops-Core Straps fitting in replica 2000's?

panzergrenadier · April 1st, 2011, 16:52

They should fit replica helmets. I had mine on an IBH helmet for a while.

ericwilliam · April 1st, 2011, 17:14

So you'd say that Ops-Core straps are the most comfortable on top of being solid and stable?

panzergrenadier · April 1st, 2011, 17:16

Yes. I Currently use mine on my Issued helmet.
As well as a set of Skydex pads

ericwilliam · April 1st, 2011, 18:09

Excellent, do you use the X or H style?

panzergrenadier · April 1st, 2011, 18:20

I've got an H style one. The Ops-Core website says that they're more stable than the X ones

ericwilliam · April 1st, 2011, 18:23

Awesome, thanks for the helping me find this guys.
I've got my eyes set on an Ops-Core H harness, I'll try and do a review when I've got it purchased and recieved.

panzergrenadier · April 1st, 2011, 18:29

Cool.
Yeah I've got an Ops-Core Base Jump Helmet coming soon (damn 8-10 week lead time)
Hopefully by the end of the month though

ericwilliam · April 1st, 2011, 18:33

Damn, thats a lot of money for one of those!.. If only I wasnt a poor university student

panzergrenadier · April 1st, 2011, 18:35

Yeah... Not cheap by any means... but I'm also going to be using it as a bike helmet and such...
