I'm looking at ballistic helmets to round out my LARPing kit (already have plate carrier with ceramic front, rear and sides). Intended use would be for potential without rule of law scenarios and looking cool in my basement.
It seems like the "high cut" with side rails are what the pros are using because you can mount electronic ear protection to them, which seems like an easy "yes" etc.
However, there are other cuts, such as the MICH, that offer more protection and say that they integrate with ear-pro, coms etc. I'm aware that you can get mini ballistic panels to attach to a high cut to cover your ears but this seems like extra cost and not as effective as a solid helmet.
Should I just take the easy answer, get a high cut and move on, or is the greater protection offered by the MICH style worth considering?
