Nicky Bigs Novelties Adult Ally Army Helmet Costume, Olive Drab Green, One Size

It was a good helmet until the chinstrap ripped and fell off but it was easy to repair. All in all a good helmet for the price.

In the picture you see the plastic $14.99 Nicky Bigs Doughboy Helmet vs an expensive steel German WWII helmet. For my display only purposes, you can not visually tell any difference in make or quality. (And yes, I know there was no gas masks used in WWII, but they freak out my wife and she avoids my man cave!)

First off this is a pretty good helmet despite the fact that the inside of the helmet has no sort of pattingThis will cause the helmet to move around on you head.And the straps are a bit flimsy that is about all that is on the bad side.Other than that this is a good strong helmet for some cosplay or for airsoft purpose.If that is what you are looking forward to than I would recommended it. Also another great thing fast shipping and delivery.

This helmet did not disappointWill look good in my WW1 costume

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.
