Description

An interesting variation for the dedicated helmet collector. Standard M1 covers were made of heavy cotton duck. This unique piece features Rip-Stop construction, bridging the gap between the M1 and the later PASGT era.

Material: Rip-Stop Poplin. This makes the cover significantly lighter and faster-drying than the standard issue heavy cotton version.
Markings: Sterile / Unmarked. The lack of DLA/DSA contract stamps suggests this was either a private purchase item sold in military PX stores for soldiers who wanted better gear, or part of a foreign military assistance contract.
Condition: New Old Stock (NOS). Mint condition.

Technical Specs:

Fits: M1 Steel Helmet
Fabric: Rip-Stop
Pattern: Woodland
Markings: None (Sterile)
Condition: Unissued.
