To my knowledge, they are using the CGF Gallet TC-2000 Combat Helmet. That is what is pictured here:

As for goggles, it is pretty much personal preference. I have seen a large number of photos showing the BOLLE T-800s.

Also, have some respect. They are not Seals. Seals are pinnipeds and are related to walrus. SEALs are humans who are members of the Navy and have been selected as part of a special operations unit that falls under SOCOM. SEAL is an acronym that stands for SEa Air Land, describing their operating environment.

haha Vance, I think maybe you didn't catch the point, which was that any
acronym should have all capital letters in the word, SEALs being the
people, Seals being the animal.

I had to figure out a way to give that hard working seal some equal face time. When I did a search for 'seals' on google.com, the first link that referred to the animal was 12 links down. The first 11 were all Navy sites. :cantbeli:

What I really want to know is, where can I get the helmet and goggles used by this seal?

My guess is that they're standard Protec's... I haven't seen the helmet before though so I'm not sure. :lol:

Sorry, couldn't pass this one up... Here's a picture of 2 Navy SEALs. There's nothing saying they couldn't drop that out of a plane to satisfy the A part of the acronym...

They had that on the news they said they were using Sea Lions actually, and whenever they saw or heard enemy ships they were trained to put up some kind of buey. :D
