The MICH (or ACH) Helmet was designed to replace the in service PASGT helmet. The MICH helmet features a reduced weight, higher cut at the back and sides and removal of the front peak. This new low profile provides excellent compatibility with communications equipment, gas masks and especially helmet mounted night vision goggles.

The PASGT Helmet is a general duties helmet suitable for military and police tactical use. The helmet is constructed from UHMWPE UD or para aramid UD material and provides lightweight, robust protection from ballistic and fragmentation projectiles and other low energy threats.
