The Halo Trilogy started and ended, but fans remain enamored with the cybernetically-enhanced soldier Master Chief. After all, the Master Chief is humanity’s only hope against the Covenant and the Flood.

It is thus not surprising that Master Chief’s halo costume is among the most in demand during the Halloween season. The whole gang can actually make costumes out of all the Halo characters including Cortana and even the male and female Marine officers.

While online shops are already offering a variety of Halo costumes, there are loyal fans who just want to wear the Chief’s helmet mask. After all, the Master Chief is always seen with the helmet covering his face like a mask, so wearing it will make your costume easier to recognize.

The popularity of the halo costume came as a result of the Halo Trilogy earning over $1.7 billion in merchandise sale, with Halo 3 selling over $170 million of game copies during the first day of its release.

If you have played any of the Halo game series then you would understand the popularity of the halo helmet mask. The helmet actually works as armor for the Master Chief and he is never seen in the game without it. There are games where the Chief has removed his headgear, particularly in Halo: Combat Evolved, but then again, nobody really sees him as his head remains hidden by the camera.

The halo costume helmet makes the Master Chief character mysterious and more interesting. The helmet itself has evolved as a Halloween costume and here are some varieties you can choose from.

One helmet which you should not pass up is the same one you often see accompanying the whole Master Chief Halo costume. This armor, which is made of plastic and is very easy to clean, is an official licensed product of Halo 3. If you’re not using this helmet to match your halo costume then why not get it for a friend? What is nice about this full-faced Master Chief helmet is the battery-operated search lights.

Another Master Chief headgear which will get your attention is the one which comes with a reflective gold visor, which gleams amidst the camouflage green color of the whole mask. While still providing anonymity to the halo costume wearer, this helmet is very comfortable to wear as it has inner paddings. It also comes with searchlights.
The most perfect halo costume helmet really is the one which comes with dents and scrapes as seen in the game. Whatever type of helmet you get for your halo costume, make sure that it will fit you and that it is comfortable to wear. And if the helmet comes with battery-operated LED search lights, make sure you get new batteries and a spare set to keep the headgear working all the time.
