Budget helmets.

[Kommandant_Epicness]

I've been browsing recently and I've come across helmets. I really like the style of some but I need one with a lower price. Could someone help me there?

What helmet do you mean?

Have a look on Ali-Express and AirsoftPeak (both Asian retailers, AirsoftPeak are great, I've ordered from them three times already, Ali-Express not as trustworthy as it's individual sellers)

Emerson FAST helmets go for ~£30, and they're around £60 here in the UK.

Alternatively you could always look for one second hand of course.

Have a look around eb and tb airsoft, lots of different style helmets at low prices with free shipping, I'd personally stay away from helmet world due to extorcionate prices

I have 2 helmets at different ends of the spectrum

Resin Brodie helmet £8 from ebay. Think about how good this is in the rain

I also have a Tankers helmet converted to a WW2 Para helmet, which in total came to about 10 times that

You can tell it was a tankers helmet as it has a slight dent in the front from someone applying the brakes suddenly

These helmets can cost about a tenner.

Various old steel helmets can be found on ebay. Former Warsaw pact countries tend to be cheap (Bulgarian helmets are about a tenner). I can tell you, its very easy to tell when you get shot in the head when you wear a steel helmet

Unless you encounter low ceilings, hats tend to be good enough protection. A boonie will have a less obvious silhouette than a helmet and I personally love my Slouch hat

ali express, used them loads times. Takes anything from 1-6 weeks though

I've got a cheap PASGT helmet that i use regularly, like this one:

It's fine for airsoft

Helmetworld do the cheapest fast helmet replicas I've seen in the UK. Usually around the £48-50 mark:

Economy version comes without the adjustment wheel and a different strap system as you can see. I've also heard the shell is thinner and the padding isn't as good.

For just another quid and a bit you can get the version with a visor (but obviously you should still wear eye pro underneath it)

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Emerson-FAST-Airsoft-Helmet-With-Protective-Goggle-PJ-Type-Helmet-Military-Helmet-BLACK-Free-shipping/1315054669.html

I've noticed these sell for £40-£50 on HelmetWorld, and an extra visor alone is another £20.

And here's the better version, shown in tan but also available in black / FG / A-TACS etc.

These ones are like £60-£70 which means ordering from a Chinese store you're saving more than £30.

This is probably the best budget one around, £43 shipped, The emerson ones are crap compared to the FMA.
