MICH/ECH HHV BTE® Ballistic Helmet
The ability to communicate effectively is paramount in many military operations. The Modular Integrated Communications Helmet (MICH) can be a lifesaver during intense combat situations. The United States Army Soldier Systems Center developed the MICH helmet two decades ago to be the next generation in military headgear. They've since gained widespread use by other service branches.
The MICH is a helmet that can stop handgun rounds and offer reliable protection against shrapnel and falling debris. The low-cut design provides better coverage for the side of the head than an above-the-ear (ATE) model. These helmets also feature a lip by the ear to accommodate headsets and other communications devices.
MICH Helmet NIJ Level IIIA Ballistic Helmet with Below The Ear. The HHV BTE® Ballistic Helmet has become the standard for Military, Law Enforcement, and Security Personnel.
The BTE® Ballistic Helmet shell is pressed with with ballistic fibers from Dupont®(USA) or Teijin®(Netherlands), overseas in China. Providing best-in-class protection at an affordable price. Made from DuPont™ Kevlar®. The Helmet offers significant weight savings, with the BTE® weighing in at 2.60 - 3.3 lbs. We offer this BTE helmet in a basic configuration for single purchases, but can offer shrouds, and other upgrades on bulk purchases.

Watch Video: How to Measure Your Head
- Start by wrapping a measuring tape around the circumference of your head, just above your ears and eyebrows. Where the tape overlaps is your measurement.
- No measuring tape? No problem! Use a piece of string to mark the overlap, then measure the string.
- Use the size chart to find where your optimal tactical helmet size should be.
- Also, don't worry if you choose the wrong size. We offer an easy exchange policy!

The customer service was outstanding. Had quite a few questions and I asked them all and everyone one was answered within 24hrs. I was very satisfied with quality fit and finish of helmet and I received it earlier than expected. It was a totally satisfying buying experience.
Great and comfortable helmet, my only suggestion would be to have a hole drilled for a nvd mount
