200 CDN dollars equals to 1200 chinese yen just for a helmet. for chinese people, that's a lot of money. a steel helmet which can be mass produced in the hundreds now cost them less than 100 yen.

Its Yuan not Yen. Yen is the crap that those Japs use. And there are 700,000 active troops in the US Army. Not 200,000. And there are over 1 million national guardsmen.

i do like the new helmats used in the PLA, similar to the US ones, however i that their could be problems with ID in combat.

Actually both the US Army and the PLA copys the WWII German Army's helmet style with flip backs.

...yeas perhaps, but in here we shouldn't make judgements based on that something looks nice...Finnish helmet looks nice, but after 16 days constantly wearing it nonstop, it doesent look, feel or even smell nice...you just want to throw it to the nearest lake...

Right, but those german helmets prove to be on the best ever created in human history. The overall protection and performance has surpassed all the other WWII level helmets. The modern German style US/PLA helmets are almost a direct copy of it.

Thats what you should have said earlyer...much more mature and proffesional sounding than "it looks cool" Don't you think?
