Totally agree on the East German lid, mine is no fun to wear. in my experience I like my Bulgarian M36 liner the most, that or my Finnish M40 Stahlhelm. as for the worst.. the Ssh-68. I have three of them and they are no different. Helps to wear a pilotka under it like intended then it becomes not bad.

Cheers for replying Mate, I love the feel of the DDR helmet, but I have never worn one under physical conditions or any bar an M1.

Of course! Thankfully none of us have to wear one under physical conditions. Technically no helmet is really comfortable to wear but it is nice every once in a while in the comfort of our rooms!

Ahh but the F1 is nearly bliss I should find another to use as a push bike helmet.

Most of the helmets in my collection are too small for me to wear. So out of the few that do fit me it would have to be the British lightweight parachutist’s helmet (incorrectly referred to as M76) it is very comfy but I guess at the cost of ballistic protection

I think if we were to get the opinions of ANY combat man, there would be a universal thumbs down!
The dreaded "helmet head" ( the headaches, not the bad hair ) suffered by most soldiers in the field would render ALL of them uncomfortable .......

Not helping there Dan!

A size 64 liner inside a German helmet isn't bad. I've tried a Polish Paratrooper helmet on once before and it wasn't awful. I need to try out some more.
