Editor's Notes

June 25, 2021:

The sole new addition to our rankings was the Anyoupin Skeleton, which instills confidence in the wearer and fear in their opponents with its aggressive styling. It's relatively lightweight and provides full-face protection, so it's as effective as it is intimidating. The rest of our suggestions remain the same, including the Selewell Airsoft MICH 2000 in the #1 slot, because its high airflow makes for an especially comfortable match.

Airsoft competitions, both amateur and professional, are fun, competitive, and often painful. Being shot with a paintball or pellets can cause injury, especially if you are not properly protected. Airsoft safety gear includes things like goggles for eye protection and armored gloves for your hands.

Here, we have zoned in on helmets. Head protection is paramount in airsoft sports because you need to protect your ears, eyes, face, and skull from injuries. Helmets come in a wide assortment of styles. Choose the helmet that fits not only your head, but also your needs. If you are looking for a simple option to have some fun with friends, the OneTigris MICH 2002 is a possibility because it protects the head without a lot of extra features. If you are serious about your airsoft career, you might want the Anyoupin Mask or the Selewell Airsoft MICH 2000. Both of these include face shields, as well as proper ventilation, which is important to keep goggles from fogging up. Most of the selections on our list also have room for accessories, like cameras and team patches. Paired with a tactical belt, and you are ready to hit the field.
