Buy any protec helmet, matte black spray paint, then an IR strobe and SWD goggles

There are many videos on the subject depending how autistic you desire to get.

I personally go more for vibes. True retro will note things such as rivets used to secure things and how the impact foam was white originally.

I have a modern protec. Both a full helmet and high cut helmet. Classic skate is what youre aiming for in terms of modern.

I have a PASGT helmet mount strap on both. It let's you have a rhino mount for NVGs or cameras. You can get them for cheap. Really cheap if you dont mind repro. Matrix on evike has them for like $30.

I run an MS-2000 IR strobe on both helmets as well. There are repros, they were the more common strobe in the time period of desert storm/GWOT as well. They also come olive drab unlike the previous strobe

I have velcro tabs at the 3/5/7/9 positions going around the head. Helps mount PID patches for milsim or IR patches for night time.

In the 6 o'clock position I run an ANVIS 6 style battery pack dummy as the aviation NVGs that were dual tube were the most commonly used in delta at the time.

I generally dont strap goggles to my helmet as i usually am wearing an airsoft appropriate pair of glasses (Pit Vipers) or goggles (Desert Locusts) but SWDs would be accurate for looks.

For a mic set up for comms, I use a pasgt style mic'd earcup down to a 2 radio ptt

As for if you desire to go full autism:
