Nicky Bigs Novelties Army Helmet, Green WW2 Brodie Costume Accessory

It was for my son in law. He plays airsoft. He loved it.

I bought this helmet for a display that I’ve made, so I’m not actually wearing it. The strap may be a little flimsy for wearing, but for my purpose it’s perfect and looks good.

Picture compares the prop helmet to a real British Mk.I helmet, such as the Brits and US used in World War 1. For $20 I think they could have used a cheap leather chinstrap which would make a huge difference. It is big, definitely adult sized, but it's constructed like a kids toy. For that I take away 1 star. Color and dimensions are very close to the original which I appreciate.

My 9 year old son loves this helmet and wears it daily. The strap did break at one point but we fixed it.

It's good and it's bad. I got a dud but I was going to modify it anyway so it didn't actually matter. The good: the plastic shell is cast quite well and has a texture like a metal helmet. The size is pretty true to a real one, and it fits my big noggin easily. It's very light and doesn't feel like you have a helmet on, good for a costume. The fixable: the helmet slides around on your head if you don't do something about it. You could just tighten the chin strap. Better, you could just tape in a little foam (I used scrap from a foam floor mat, anything will do) inside or make a more elaborate liner if you're a hobbyist costumer or cosplayer. The strap is possibly okay; it wouldn't quite buckle under my chin (big head problems) but I wore it behind my head. With the foam inside, it stays on pretty well. The bad: The strap is junky, with unfinished ends that will fray. Run a lighter over them to fuse the nylon back together. One of my straps pulled off of the rivet that holds it on, then the sloppy rivet fell apart with very little persuasion. If you're the tinkerer type you might be replacing the strap anyway, if you're just trying to wear this for a basic costume or it's for a kid, that is obviously a big deal breaker. In summary, if you're a cosplayer or hobby costume type of person buying it mostly for the plastic shell, you'll be okay. If you're looking for a toy helmet for a kid or easy costume for a play or whatnot, it might work out, as long as the one you get has the strap riveted on right.

Son loves it

dont expect it to protect you in a fight, but it looks great, is super light and seems like it will be sturdy enough for cosplay. for the price, its ideal for my purposes

Just what I was looking for fit and looks great

My 9 year old son loved it.

Suppose to be for adults . But chin strap would need another 6 t 7 in to fit
