Re: Interesting PASGT (air-softer ?)
The netting covering the helmet appears to be what we called "scatter netting camo". We used it to cover certain tents, radar, howitzers, and vehicles so it could not be spotted from the air. A kit of this would come with repair patches to fix one's with holes or ripped. A patch was normally used by someone to place on one's helmet to give it that camo look. Although we were told to utilize plantation from the area, someone would "cheat" by obtaining a repair patch from the kit set.

Re: Interesting PASGT (air-softer ?)
I have no idea what the camo netting Denfly refers to is like, so he may wel be completely correct, but my first thought on seeing your helmet was that it might be a French helmet cover as used on both the mle 51 and F1 helmets. See here (scroll down about halfway)

I have no idea why someone would put a WW2 camo on a 1980's helmet. But if it's possible, you may be able to google the scatter netting on images.
