There are multiple features the EXFIL has that you do not get in a standard MICH. Start with the Wilcox Night Vision shroud for mounting night vision optics. Add on the EXFIL Ballistic Rail System for mounting hear protection/communications, a ballistic visor, face shield, and all kinds of other equipment. The Team Wendy EXFIL also has a boltless CAM FIT retention that quickly adjusts to individual head shapes, as well as the Zorbium Foam Liner that has 16 customizable comfort pads in two thicknesses to provide custom-fit comfort and stability. You're getting far more in comfort, security, and adaptability than you would ever get from a standard MICH.
