Anyone else have some GI hard hats unless you plan to get shot at or dodge IEDs, the "bike" helmets are far more comfortable and lighter weight, a major plus when you have heavy optics on it. it's meant for bump protection. and make that comparison to these guys:

Not upset or anything. Just hoping some other guys had pics of M1 steel pots , German Pots and nam issue helmets. Not disputing the use of light head protection for fast action guys .

Two things..
1) We used to have a "million" of the steel pots in the Navy, they were painted red and put in Repair Lockers for Damage Control evolutions. They all went to DRMO (I guess) after we switched to Firefighter head gear. 2) I would guess that some of the HSLD helmets COULD be made from Kevlar and provide some protection from bullets or fragments. Different missions, different needs. |

Good idea for another General subforum though.

Sweet set up does it pull your head more forward with the mount down or does it have a batt pack to counter the weight.

My skate board helmet is balanced in the back with about 20 230gn .45 lead slugs in a ziplock secured in a single pistol pouch. It works just fine.... |

My take on the lightweight helmet. I took a Protech skate helmet painted it and installed the new four point harness.

I have an origional "find" that I dug up in Koln Germany, back in 1992, I'll post up some pics soon. |

Placeholder here.
I have a few. A refurbed M1 of WWII vintage. A Vietname-era paratrooper helmet (but with a modern paratrooper chin strap). A late-80s PASGT. And my newest: an XL ACH with a Woodland MARPAT cover. I knew some Marines were using the ACH, but I had no idea the cover was available. And, yes, it is a real one––EGA is in the pattern. |
