Stunning lid Mark and not one i am familiar with ,i can see some similarities to the US advanced combat helmet in profile and webbing assembly but looks a hefty piece for sure .

Very interesting. This type has gone through a number of evolutions, and I have not seen this specific version before. It would not surprise me to find that the mesh liner is in fact designed-in and not a user addition. See what happens when you try taking it apart - what's underneath anyway?
Also, do you find it heavy? I have one of the earlier versions and it is as heavy and solid as a rock. Don't have it easily to hand at the moment or I would include a weight.

Thanx for the reply James and Greg as I don't yet have it in hand there still remains a few unanswered questions in regards to the construction ...
It does appear as if there is criss crossed webbing under the mesh Greg and I have heard that these Ukrainian Kaska 1M helmets are quite heavy from more than one collector ...

Cheers Gunny it is one of my favourite composite helmets as they are not often seen and the camo pattern is quite unique in its own right...
Regards Mark

For any members interested.
Today I watched this Ukrainian review of some of the helmets available since 2014.
I recommend this YouTube channel to anyone interested in the conflict.
