By servicable I mean it wont fall apart in a couple weeks and that it works reasonably well mounting PVS14.
I really dont want to pay hundreds of dollars a Bump Helmet .
Lots of cheap ones are out there, but I suspect few of them are serviceable.
Oh, and I dont mean to be too demanding but preferably one that comes in Kryptek (HL or MD) or Multicam.
Any leads/ideas?

Ok Fellas, am grateful for the input (and bergmann's beautiful pics) .. this is what I wound up ordering. Ordered it in ATACS FG, which is perfect for summer in my BOL's AO (Hills in Appalachia) and also matches my summer uniform. Almost added the Kryptek Highlander which is great for fall + early spring in my AO but decided to hold back ordering two until I tested the first one. Like the price and the available camo patterns. Dont know yet if it will hold up, if it does, I will order more since it meets all my requirements for form and function. www.botach.com/lancer-tactical-ca-725-pj-type-fast-helmet-w-rails-velcro/ |

Looks good and the price is right.
What's it certified for safety wise?

I just wanted a bump helmet to protect my noggin from trees trunks etc (which I think most anything that puts plastic between u the hard thing and is padded will do) is preferably camoed + have a solid mount for my spare NVG.  |

Its an airsoft product but its probably simply made from existing bike or skateboard safety products, so id imagine its going to offer a good amount of protection if your skull makes contact with something in a dangerous way..
As interesting as it seems to have gadgets attached to ones helmet for convenience, (and Im all about task multipliers to make things easier) and as hard as I searched to justify it, something like this simply wont fit into my plans to spend the $$. There is a good chance Ill be in suburbs when the hammer falls. A skull shield would be nice. So I may just take my existing helmet and screw a rail and reinforcement plate at the drill site and add a light to my existing helmet..

What's the internal side like? That is, from experience, where this sort of shit matters.

If you're asking about hardware poking the skull. There is none. Not sure how much refining I can do with "shit" but I suspect this addresses your question.. Its like its not even there. Nice wide washers give it stability and spreads out the grip for endurance..   |
