ATF Fabric
vs. OriginalUS Helmet Cover
Reversible camo helmet cover, primarily used by the U.S. Marines in the Pacific theater. (Although there are reports of Army troops using some in the Pacific Theater, this was exceptional, not typical.) Our covers are identical to originals. The reproduction HBT fabric is dead-on. When laid on top of original material, there is utterly no difference. Previous repros are slightly heavier or the colors are a little off. These are not.
Yes, these match our new P42 camouflage uniforms.
This is the first model, which does not have the slits and they do not have EGA's. W.W.II covers were unmarked.
$20.00
Installation:
1. Remove liner.
2. Wrap cover around steel pot. Open end of pleats should face the rear.
3. Cut slits for chinstraps to go through.
4. Reinstall liner.

How to attach your helmet net to your helmet.
We've had several inquiries about how to put the helmet net onto the helmet. We thought it was pretty self-explanatory, but here are some instructions just in case. By the way, these nets WILL fit. The net material stretches.
1. Grasp each side of the net, one side in each hand, and pull to stretch. A Herculean effort is not necessary. Don't try to tear it in half like your 'ripping the phonebook in half' party trick.
2. Lay net flat and place helmet, top down, onto the net.
3. Bring up one corner to bale and slide chinstrap through one of the holes in the bottom of the net. Any of the many holes will work, there is not one specific one. Repeat for the other side.
4. Begin drawing string and tightening up the tension on the net. At this point, you can start to slide the net around the edge of the helmet. Just keep working the tension until the net is completely around the helmet.
5. Loosely tie off the string. Don't tie a permanent knot, just enough to hold the net on until you put in the helmet liner.
6. Insert helmet liner.
Hope this answers a few questions.
