The first thing you are going to do when receiving this helmet is put those useless helmet pads into a ziploc bag with the X harness and replace them with a better quality harness and pad system. Oregon aero or 4D tactical pads and an opscore H nape should do the trick 👌 eventually upgrading the NVG shroud should be considered as well.

With fielding of the ECH, Operation Helmet is receiving multiple requests at the individual and unit level for the helmet pads we buy and send free to troops OTW. Told ya'. Now over 83,000 kits sent out, none returned. These upgrade pads ($28 apiece) last an entire deployment, not the six months with the GI sacks of poop.

ECH is product of the Marine Corps and Army and suppose to be the first level 3 ballistic protection which it can take high caliber rifle rounds .30 carbine, 5.56 NATO, 7.62 Kalashnikov not sure about 308. Pads are also updated not sure if the pads are by Skydex or Gentex. By this time ECH will be used only by combat roles so the ACH and LWH will be still in use in noncombat roles do to ECH is to expensive to make do to the material that is being used to make it.

Solipsil Interceptor vest has nothing to do with the PASGT other than it was issued with it. The Pasgt handled Weather better due to its helmet band, while as Mich style helmets fail due to the heat from the Pads in the desert, and the pads freezing up in the winter. As far as ballistic-wise goes, yes the Mich is more ideal, but only in SOME scenarios. As if the Mich pads become too soft, the force of a shot would still transfer to the skull. If the Mich pads become too hard, the force goes to the skull again.

I purchased a size large helmet. I believe that it's an ACH since it has the Army ACH harness installed. I didn't like the ACH harness, so I purchased a USMC harness which I like better. I don't know if this harness was for an ECH or a LWH, but it doesn't fit the helmet that I have. It indicates that it will fit L& ExL., but it just isn't large enough...it doesn't fit. Any ideas on the reason? I also noticed that the screw posts on the helmet were too large to go through the grommets in the USMC harness...not such a big problem, just enlarged them with a center punch to fit. Numbers on it are; 97427/04011896-2 looked this up in the NSN registry...nothing. The 97472 brought something up, but not a single equipment piece.

Fun fact: bullet resistance is not only measured in penetration but also back face deformation. Level 3A would stop all pistol calibers. The ACH does stop penetrating, but would kill you via crushing your skull minimum of 2 inches, therefore NOT making it qualified for a level 3A certification.

An army sergeant in Afghanistan a few years back was shot in the back of the head directly by a PKM machine gun from 20 feet away during an ambush while wearing an ECH. He lived. The helmet protected him perfectly. He wasn't even knocked unconscious, he was knocked to the ground but immediately got back up. The ECH is not level 3A, it is special threat rifle rated.
