"The Matrix IBH Helmet is fantastic!
Looks amazing and its very cheap compared to other tactical Helmets. (Buy Side-Rails and you are good to go).
It's make from High Quality ABS Plastic (from what i heard).
The Helmet has a NVG Mount so you can Night-vision Goggles or a Go-Pro Camera if you wan't to upload videos of Airsoft.
At first the helmet was not fitting me correctly, it was because the middle cushion was too large, but i ripped it out, cut it in half and i am good to go since i wear a balaclava with the helmet.
Chin Strap is good also.
I just received it today for my birthday and i can't wait to use it with Airsoft Battles!

"this helmet is a great piece of equipment because of all the room you have on the outside to stick patches on it. plus i fall down quiet a bit during airsoft wars and this thing keeps me from getting knocked out.so if you are a clumsy person or like having a realistic helmet to show off at airsoft wars this is a pefect helmet for you to get.

"When i first got this helmet it was in perfect shape and worth the money. It was packaged great and took only a week to ship, but the best part it came with 50% off and free shipping on my next order. This helmet is very sturdy, abs plastic, and comfortable. This helmet is comfortable because of padding inside, also the straps are comfortable. This goes great with goggles and a mesh mask, also when you go airsofting you never see anyone wear these its rare. These helmets are used by U.S. Special Forces and its also it has open ears for radio. This helmet is overall 5 stars in my opinion, Thanks Evike.com and Team!

"This helmet is great

looks good, feels good, and you can adjust it to fit about any size head. all my friends put it on and it fit relatively good.

I suggest some things though.

If your going to get this get a balaclava and the flakjak googles. no fogging at all and looks really good.
Also if you get this helmet i suggest getting velcro to put on the helmet, makes it look more realistic and looks really good too.

overall really happy with this helmet

Thanks evike and matrix

"i just got this helmet, and I must say. It is even better than I imagined..

Some say that this helmet is Amazing and others say it its garbage..
I say that this helmet is nearly perfect. The Helmet itself is awesome quality, shape and design is very welly made. The only problem I have with it is that i did not order this sooner!

Pros:
Good build
Great quality
Straps work very well
Pads are comfortable
Doesn't move on your head
has NVG mount (metal, great quality)
Screws all metal(some on mine needed tightening)
Looks VERY tactical
sexy

Cons:
Pads are good, but as other reviewers say..It could be replaced. I, however, do no have the money for new pads, and these ones work fine, do not let reviews of bad pads scare you because trust me, it could be MUCH WORSE. For the AWESOME price, this helmet is better than I would have ever expected to get.

This product is amazing, I highly recommend it.

"Just got done playing with this helmet tonight at Tac City in S El Monte. Its a great helmet. nice and light, and fits great. I got it from the Evike retail Store and it came in its own box that included the padding, a 2 foot roll of velcro and a green IR Flag w/ velcro. the pads needed to be installed but it was easy, just pull the sticker backs off and put in place. and you might need help adjusting the straps to get a good fit. not sure how to attach the velcro to the outside of the helmet maybe hot glue will work dont know yet have not tried.

All in all it is a GREAT helmet!

"great helmet, but there are room for improvements.

first off- this thing is awesome! after modifying it, it fits like a dream. the helmet itself is a very thick and tough as nails plastic!

however- my peeves with this were the extreme lack of padding. maybe i'm too picky but i couldn't stand the mass amount of play it had on my head.

also the straps on this take some getting used to, not the greatest, but just my opinion.

the modifications i made was picking up 2" industrial velcro from wal-mart, replacing the inner foam all together with pro-tec stuff, but i also used real MSA foam pads from my kevlar one.

"People, if you are looking for the most comfortable, realistic looking helmet, look no farther than this one.
It will accomodate the use of the Pro Goggle w/fan, but I prefer a standard eye-google with a neoprene face mask.
The interior of the helmet is completely customizable....the inner padding comes loose so you may peel and stick it in whatever manner shape that fits your head. The straps are all adjustable, insuring a secure fit and feel.
I bought the desert tan model due to the rest of my gear being that flat dark earth/desert tan and it looks great!
Highly reccommended!!

"This is a fine helmet for someone looking to get a low-cost, but authentinc-looking helmet for general use. The foam padding inside is dual-layered open cell soft foam over semi-rigid closed-cell foam. Each pad is about an inch thick, which really restricts the actual wearable size. This helmet should fit snugly on someone who wears a size 7 1/4 to size 7 1/2 cover.

For larger heads, the pads are easily removed and modified, however, the strapping system is a bit of a trick to adjust properly and was clearly made for smaller head sizes (think Asian fit).

When paired with your own velcro additions, or the velcro kits sold here, this helmet is on par with other more expensive versions when it comes to looks.

Pro:
A sturdy, easily customizable helmet for beginners or more advanced players.

Con:
The liberal application of foam padding, as well as a somewhat complicated strap adjustment system could prove troublesome for players with large head sizes.

"Overall this is a great airsoft helmet. I took the padding out and sliced it in half so it would fit me, then stuck it back in with double sided tape. Go a little at a time until it fits just right. May want to take a little extra off if you plan on wearing a bandana or knit hat underneath for soaking up sweat or cold weather.

The biggest problem I have is the chin strap. Like others have said, it's not centered. It's not a big deal, as I usually just put it under my chin. The issue is the buckle. It's absolute junk. Mine pops open with practically no force. You don't even have to squeeze the tabs. The saving grace is that because I custom cut the padding, it fits snugly enough that it doesn't move when the buckle pops open.

PROS:
Light weight
NVG mount (I haven't actually used it yet, so I'm not sure of the quality)
Fairly easy to modify the fit (pro AND con.... kinda)
Can put goggles on the helmet without the strap constantly slipping

CONS:
Padding will most likely require modification, but it's not very hard to do.
Chin strap alignment isn't that great
chin strap buckle SUCKS - may be able to replace it
by Kristin M. on 04/01/2013
"I absolutley love this helmet!
When it came in everything functions well
however the strap system is a bit odd
and my plastic buckle broke after 5 days on
the field, no big deal because they can be replaced for
about $2

"I've had this helmet for roughly 2 months, and I have gone to 3 events with it. It has a very sturdy feel to it, and is the exact same color as it is in the picture (desert). The straps are good quality, and are adjustable all around the head for a fully customizable fit. The Night Vision Goggle mount (shroud) is abnormal, as it is not a normal standard NVG shroud that holds a Rhino Arm (as far as I know). The shroud is known as a WILCOX shroud, and holds a specific arm that can not be found on Evike, or any other airsoft website I have looked at.

Pros:
- Great quality shell
- Fully adjustable straps
- Sits well on the head
- Comfortable padding
- Good desert color
- A lot of room for accessories

Cons:
- Straps may be uncomfortable while wearing the helmet naked (no balaclava, shemagh, etc.)
- Strange NVG WILCOX Shroud that does not fit the Rhino type NVG Mount sold on Evike.com
- Not very breathable

"I just got this helmet today and Im already in love with it. its a smooth and rugged texture on it. the only con I can think about is the buckle system. I only had it on for about 15 minutes when the buckle on the top left snapped in half now I had to put on some electrical tape and its better now. also I bought a pair of flakjacks with this and they look great together but they slip off so the tape came in handy yet again but ill be buying the straps to keep them on soon.

pros:lightweight
:sexy
:unique
:not a lot of people have one.

cons: buckle system is meh.

other than that I'm very happy with my purchase and can't wait to use it :))

"The matrix IBH helmet with NVG mount is really a great buy for me. Other replicas coast 76 and up so when i saw this i jumped on it. I originally wanted the tan version but it was outta stock so i got the black instead i figured i could give it a cool paint job with a black base and tan coat on top. The helmet has a good weight to it, chin strap is a little corked but i just wear it under my just wear it under my jaw, the padding is comfy, just a little to tight for my big head haha, it didn't have the padding shown in the picture, am planning on altering the padding instead(not a big deal for me). All in all its a great buy I told all my buds to get it, just two loose ends but nothing to condemn others from getting this helmet.
