What types of helmets are available for airsoft?

Various types of airsoft helmet are available on the French market. However, the most popular are the BUMP helmet, the integral helmet, the FAST PJ helmet and the MICH helmet.

BUMP headset

Used by the majority of airsoft players in France, the BUMP tactical helmet is lightweight and offers comprehensive head protection. This model, which is similar to the FAST PJ helmet, allows the addition of accessories thanks to rails on both ends. This type of helmet is easy to fasten, as it features an adjustable strap under the chin. However, it offers no protection for your eyes or ears.

Full-face helmet

Covering the entire head, the full-face helmet is the accessory of choice if you're looking for optimum protection. It's designed to protect your skull, ears and eyes, and features small air vents to prevent condensation and fogging. This type of tactical helmet is easy to put on, as it has no fasteners. Last but not least, a product of this type has garnered many positive reviews from individuals who practice a sport like airsoft. At SOLDAT.FR, but also in most stores, this type of helmet is very often out of stock.

FAST PJ helmet

The FAST PJ airsoft helmet is an advanced protection accessory. While it covers the skull and ears perfectly, you need to add eye protection (visor or goggles) to avoid getting replica shots in the eyes. FAST PJ tactical helmets are fitted with top ventilation and accessory rails. These models are similar to those used by members of the GIGN.

MICH helmet

Considered advanced combat equipment, the MICH (Modular Integrated Communications Helmet) tactical helmet is also often out of stock. Perfect for moving around with several accessories (GoPro, NVG, microphone, etc.), it is suitable for fairly demanding missions. The ingenious design of this product enhances vision and does not obstruct hearing.

The best airsoft helmets

For a sport like airsoft, wearing a helmet is recommended (although not mandatory). If you're looking for a good-quality helmet, you'll find what you're looking for from brands like FMA, EMERSON, S&T, FAST STRIKE and many others. However, here are a few models that have garnered nothing but positive reviews.

Fast Helmet with EMERSON Gear goggles

EMERSON is a brand with an extensive stock of airsoft products. These include protective helmets such as the EMERSON Fast Helmet with goggles, available in black, tan, foliage and more. It features a polymer outer shell and an inner shell capable of absorbing the energy of crushing impacts. Available in one size only, this EMERSON tactical helmet adapts to all body shapes, and fastens with a clip buckle under the chin.

FMA TB1315A tactical helmet

FMA is a manufacturer of airsoft accessories, replicas and outfits that garner many positive reviews from players. FMA's TB1315A helmet features an expanded polypropylene liner for enhanced impact protection. This tactical helmet also features ventilation. Finally, it features a lightweight modular elastic fairing that reduces the risk of interference. The FMA TB1315A tactical helmet is available in black, olive, tan or multicam (camouflage color).

FAST Helmet Black ASG

ASG is an American brand that manufactures items such as tactical Airsoft vests, holsters, tactical helmets and more. It is also considered a specialist in replica spare parts. However, one of the equipment items of most interest to players is the FAST Helmet.

Made from reinforced ABS, this helmet offers you optimum protection and features a side rail to which you can attach accessories (light, communication system, etc.). Unlike many brands, ASG supplies parts such as rails and fasteners when you buy your helmet. Finally, this model is available in black, camouflage or multicam, olive and tan.

What criteria should I take into account when choosing an airsoft helmet?

Most airsoft helmets are affordable. However, to make an informed choice, you need to take into account certain criteria that are considered decisive.

Comfort and fastening

Since airsoft is a sport of movement, your helmet needs to be comfortable and adapted to your size. Check that there's padding inside to cushion any falls. You should also consider the weight of the helmet, so that it doesn't take up too much space when you're on the move. Finally, make sure your helmet has an excellent fastening system. In general, models with a strap under the chin offer you greater stability.

Protection and customization options

Not all airsoft helmets offer the same type of protection. If you opt for BUMP helmets, you'll need to purchase additional protection. Some helmets feature a side rail for easy mounting of accessories such as an NVG airsoft camera or communication system. Others let you add camouflage elements to keep a low profile on the playing field.
