'saw this Cobra helmet being used at Bovington Tankfest this week, Squaddies wouldn't talk about it but it was being worn by the "top-gunner" as similar are by the US. 'not seen one in the flesh before - it was a work of art...especially the inside and the tailoring of the cover was amazing - gone is the elasticated-edged blob of cloth.
...and no, it wasn't for sale...although I did ask......
Nice photos seen these on trial at the moment
...that's interesting...with or without the mandible/jaw piece? in the field? or just as "top gunner".....could this be a replacement for the Mk7 or just another "specialist" lid?.....it's an impressive piece of kit.
I have the same Revision-made brow-bracket on a PECOC trials helmet......
...albeit mine's black
...and slightly different......
Thanks for sharing what is a very high tech looking helmet ,personally i feel its just another example of the military imitating science fiction again ,what with terminator style robot troops on the horizon and now this master chief inspired helmeti wonder whats next
