by The camouflage provided by military uniform is not everything when it comes to performing combat missions in the field. Our article will explain why a helmet cover is necessary and important, what functions it performs, and where to buy one.
Long-range firearms are why protective accessories and gear are constantly being improved. Considering that the enemy is usually at a considerable distance, it is important for a soldier to remain unnoticed in any situation. Protective coloring of the uniform and helmet helps with this, so buying a helmet cover is very important. Why?
The purpose of a helmet cover
A helmet cover for a Kevlar helmet is a type of cover that is placed over the helmet. It is made of durable and strong rip-stop fabric with reinforced threads and natural cotton. This fabric not only withstands mechanical damage well but also protects the helmet from it. Therefore, it also protects its owner.
Why a cover is necessary:
• colors the helmet in the necessary tone of camouflage;
• protects from damage and scratches;
• solves the problem of glare on the smooth surface of the helmet, which can attract dangerous attention from the enemy, making aiming easier for them.
All these functions make a helmet cover an indispensable accessory in field conditions.
How is the cover fixed?
The helmet cover is secured with elastic bands over the helmet and may also be equipped with Velcro panels for attaching patches on the sides and top of the helmet. Some models have loops for additional camouflage, as well as special holders for ballistic masks.
Are all covers universal?
No, different covers are suitable for different types of helmets, and you can find out about their compatibility by carefully reviewing the accessory description. You can also receive detailed consultation about your order, and it is possible to return the cover during receipt if it does not fit.
What is important to consider when buying a cover?
A helmet cover is chosen to match the primary camouflage. The coloring also depends on the season and the surrounding conditions: fields, forest, or populated area:
• in “greenery” in the warm season, pencott, multicam, and marpatt colors are suitable;
• for snowy winter, white camouflage multicam alpine is best;
• if combat operations are conducted in the field or steppe, it is worth choosing a monochrome black cover, shades like coyote or khaki.
