fast helmet, picked this up at a pawnshop today.

They had 3x oneL/XL two med/Lrg.

They were all 329 and 25% off.

259 out the door.

Its tatou brand, quick google search shows its a Recon SF model.

Are these any good, seems to be of decent entry level quality..

Supposedly level IIIa

Those look cool and I get the use but why do people buy them like the only time they would really use them is to larp 

I'm not hating I'm just trying to understand they look cool though

I have a ballistic helmet (Fortis Premier) but the only real reason I went ballistic is because a plastic/carbon bump helmet that would fit my huge head was only $50 cheaper. Figured why not.

It's my night vision carrier for when I don't feel like using a skullcrusher. I used it stargazing a week ago lol

I know lot of airsoft types like these style helmets (usually just bumps) because they're designed to be good carriers for night vision, comms, and earpro, as well as decent action camera hosts etc.

My helmet is set up so I can wear my earpro (and by extension comms) under it, if I ever want to use it shooting, as well. Haven't done so yet, only time I ever got to night shoot was when I had my skullcrusher with me instead.

Fair enough sounds like you enjoy using your night vision
