How can I aquire a PASGT helmet?

[Mohmar Deathstrike]

Can anybody tell me what the easiest/cheapest way is to obtain such a helmet as a resident of Berlin?

That's the current-issue US Army helmet? eBay -- that's where I got mine. Do a search for "Army kevlar helmet".

I don't think you can get your right size, I suppose you want to use it? Y not get it at those US surplus website?

I knew a Duch guy who had interest in helmets, but I dont know if he got the helmet you are looking for. But he might have knowlegde as to how to get it...

well, good luck!

It's being phased out in favor to the ACH in the US Armed Forces. This is why I'm hoping they're getting cheaper.

Thanks people!

MightyMacbeth, it would be great if you could give me that guy's webpage or email.

ACH? wad's that? Care to elaborate more and post some pics on it? Thanks!

ACH = Advanced Combat Helmet

Interestingly, there's a bit of concern/controversy over the new ACH's smaller design...

As for the PASGT -- I was patient, got mine for about US$60 or so on eBay.
