Awesome I actually love the 80's M1 it's the best model and I love the M81 camo

If you want a really tight helmet cover do exactly as Josh demonstrates but lightly dampen the cover before you fit it, pull it nice and tight and it will shrink slightly as it dries.

Nice video…80’s helmet missing two things, dealing with pin on rank and name on the helmet band!

[@moparsrule862]

Great channel, thanks very much for the time and effort you put in. My thought on putting the pleats facing backwards is to reduce the chance of branches getting caught up in your helmet when you're in bushy areas

[@juliusdream2683]

Like the 80's M1

I was in the 82d from 1978 -1981 and I had a love hate relationship with my M1. Then I was a Field Artillery officer from 1983 -1990. I really appreciated my Kevlar, especially on jump status. I previously purchased an aged M1C medic paratrooper helmet that I loved. Now waiting ( will be her 22 June) for my 2d paratrooper M1C from you! All the Way! Mike

Sorry for being a bit nosey, but did you get your helmet? And how is it? What do you think about it?

[@msundborg]

Got it. Awesome helmet

Interesting video and thank you for the practical help and instructions and also for the information on the differences that occurred in the late 1970s and 1980s era M1 Helmets. One of mine is a mish mash of different eras - the Liner, webbing, neck band and head band are late 1960s to early seventies, the Camo cover (Mitchell) is 1969, and the shell and chin straps are like the 1980s helmet in your video. Your advice about fitting an M1 Helmet was also very useful - thanks again.

You just finished my M2 inland paratrooper helmet! Can't wait to see it!

[@1968shinobi]

Thank you for your awesome Quality Mil-Spec content. I have this same 1980's M 1 Helmet !

[@fernandorosales4569]

Love this video thank you for the information

For Parade Season in Berlin (17 June Allied Forces Day Parade and 4th of July Parade) we would soak the helmet covers in hot water, even boiling water in a microwave to get it hot enough then stretch the cover over the helmet.

GREAT INFORMATION AND INTELLIGENT VIDEO. The science of a M1 helmet. Keep going iam a M1 helmet believer. 👍🇺🇸

[@damonswanson3156]

I love it. Estimated prophet!

[@DesertWolfSurvival]

Thanks you for existing!

[@jeffreyfitzgerald1779]

Nice, didn't know you had a channel. I always kind of liked the look of the liner sticking out at the bottom. It's pretty pronounced in some historical photos. I'm prepared for this as I also have a gut I can use in the same way.

[@russianarmycollector7046]

I have one but I’m glad I watched this

[@perpetualconfusion5885]

Is there a way to keep the shell and the liner from bouncing around and what not

[@huntclanhunt9697]

How do I attach the chinstrap?

[@DesertWolfSurvival]

How much for the steel shell??

[@jerrygarner]

Lise the music

I purchased a Schleuter helmet brand new and unissued winners from a dealer who was buying from U.S.A.f.in Germany. A real enacted person said my helmet was a German copy.? But I know it's all original. a big 👎🇺🇸 To him. love those videos. I always keep a M1. WHEREVER I go. They are so practical.👍

[@gunsforevery1]
