GERMAN WW1 M1916 M16 STAHLHELM HELMET 18 gauge steel

I purchased this helmet due to the increased shell size. My head runs about 7 5/8 “ and I am extremely pleased to find that this helmet fits and sits at the correct height. The helmet can probably go to a 7 3/4” or larger without a problem. Unless you have a Barry Bonds size 8 head, you should be able to wear this comfortably and at the correct level. There are no cotton pads above the liner but there should be plenty of room for them. If you plan on wearing the helmet for re-enactments, you could use the thinner GI MICH or ACH helmet pads between the liner and shell for a more secure fit. I highly recommend this helmet as a solid, wearable M1916.
