Looking to make this helmet more comfortable. Not sure what model it is called. .gov given to law enforcement.
Any mods to make it better? |

Issued ACH/MICH chinstrap sucks and comes loose constantly
Ops Core HeadLoc is a very popular aftermarket ACH strap, and you have your choice of an X or H pattern across the back. The X holds niceand snug. The H is better for chicks, and required by a lot of Airborne units in the Army. Comfortwise there's not much difference They're listed for $106 on a number of sites, but if you look you can find them for $60 or so https://www.amazon.com/ACH-Head-Loc-Retention-System-H-Nape/dp/B00EQACOG8 https://www.rangerjoes.com/OPS-Core-ACHMICH-Head-Loc-Retention-System-X-Nape-P3548.aspx |

Thank you, how about the head/ chin straps? It is, in my opinion, the single best helmet suspension currently on the market. It is pricey, but well worth it. It is especially worth it if running comms headsets I.E. Sordin/Peltor. Way easier to get the helmet on due to how the straps adjust, they just leave more room for headsets. Kicks the shit out of that garbage issue suspension. ETA: Damn it, beat!

Get the 4D systems pads and don't look back. I spent extra and got the deluxe 4D set. Combine with the opscore H nape and the difference will be night and day. No exaggeration. |

Under NO circumstances should you do anything other than take this advice. I'm not joking one bit. I spent extra and got the deluxe 4D set. Combine with the opscore H nape and the difference will be night and day. No exaggeration. My buddy had the TW Epic liner and finally took my advice and went with the 4d pads and said even it was night and day difference. |

Get the 4D systems pads and don't look back. Do an ops core chinstrap and call it good. Also your helmet is generally referred to as an ACH. Advanced Combat Helmet. Specially a 2000 cut when looking for accesories. Side note. I constantly see LE teams not running active hearing protection. Yes rue going to REALLY regret that shit down the line when you're deaf in a few years. Even more so when you have constant ringing in your ears. Zero reason not to run them these days. Same goes for eye pro. If it's bone condunction and you're running plugs ignore the above. Also check to make sure your helmet isn't one of the recalled ones. (Although I can't remember if those were recalled for ballistic reasons or for failing crush tests. ) |

Sorry, I can't seem to load a photo. 1990-2000's military surplus helmet issued out to police agencies is what I'm working with. Thanks |

The 4D deluxe from TNVC looks good. Thinking about it now, shipping to IL $21.58 for a set of pads. Maybe it's worth it, I'll have to think it over. I did order the new chin strap. 
Any thing cheaper? |

I just checked out TNVC and it's $20+ for shipping..... WTF!!!
Any thing cheaper? They wanted to do the same thing to me. Also charged me a ridiculous amount for a Mohawk. Big red flag if you ask me when a company rips its customers off on shipping. Go to eBay. They are cheaper and you don't get raped on shipping. You will get brow beaten from tnvc though. I'm not sure why they can't comprehend people don't like to get ripped off on shipping and won't if given a better option. |
| Yeah, I hear you. I requested a LE departmental price quote on a few ACH helmets from TNVC once and got a full pop price, same as the list price. Bought direct from Revision... much better experience. I do occasionally buy stuff from TNVC, but they are not affordable at all. Not even for LE department purchases... and the shipping is crazy. |

Oregon Aero BLSS KIT
Love mine. Worth the cost. I went with the full harness upgrade in an older PASGT helmet and makes the helmet all day comfy if you need to wear it that long. |
