Body armor is too bulky, heavy and hot but a good helmet is a life saver in a SHTF situation. The PASGAT is cheaper and slightly lighter according to specs than my purchase. My helmet is 2.69 lbs according to specs, PASGAT a few oz. less. Body armor with plates would severely hamper your movement at any age but a helmet would not. I was not going to pay $699 to $899 for one but $339 is doable. This helmet has the side rails and front mount for NVG's not that I plan on buying a set. Light or red dot could be mounted on side rail. Helmet will be placed in my bugout bag with trauma kit (recently took class at Mill sponsored by Finnerty) along with loaded mags, MRE's, etc. I have ACU ruck packed with extra clothes, sleeping bag, pussy pad and one man backer tent for emergencies. I have 4 full face Arai motorcycle helmets and 2 bicycle helmets in my inventory. My Arai helmets cost twice what the MICH helmet cost so good deal to me.
