Helmets and Camo covers

[James C]

Great looking Romanian camo pattern Jack not seen this type before thanks for sharing your Estonian covers and would love to add an example one day and thanks for sharing your Slovakian helmet and cover Trwade,i have an example of the ASR 97 also but fitted with the desert pattern cover so it is nice to see the woodland version

Fantastic cover James! thanks for sharing. Can't go wrong with that camo.

Here are some Polish helmet covers I've been meaning to share. The first one is the Polish wz68 "worm" camouflage cover, and the 2nd being the Polish wz58 "raindrop" pattern with a Polish eagle insignia. My feline friend seems to approve of both these covers. The only evidence I can find of these covers being used was by Polish naval infantry but I wouldn't be surprised if they were used by more units than that.











Best regards,

Liking those Polish covers Trwade thank you for sharing ,i have a few Polish helmets in the pile but would love to add similar covers to yours one day

Not to sure for this one, seems to be People's Liberation Army (PLA) Rocket Forces engineer units 2005-2009.
Easily confused with the "87 Pattern Woodland Type". The black shapes are different.

Two additional US Navy patterns were adopted in 2010, for issue strictly to Navy Special Operations.
May also be worn by Navy personnel engaged in shore-based operations
