Infantry vs Parachutist PASGT Helmet Setups (1980’s)

[@WWIIman1942]

You mentioned the wide hole paratrooper pads. Do you know much about these along the lines of when they were introduced?

[@TheCarDemotic]

1998. When they redesigned the webbing of the helmet in the soldier enhancement program

[@WWIIman1942]

@@TheCarDemotic Ahhhh that does make sense. Thank you!

[@msb19700]

great video thanks for the information helped me a lot

[@RebelFNOS]

I bought a pasgt and so I bought all the accessories I could including 2 helmet covers which i later learned one was a parachutist cover

[@Taker1317]

Is there a difference with the normal and parachutist helmet covers?

[@NoodleBoi-jf9ng]

Thanks for the help bro

[@komlevlife]

Do you know if it bulletproof? And what protection level?

[@TheCarDemotic]

It is bullet resistant. They have been shown in videos to be equal to/near Level IIIA.

[@oogabooga611]

But mine doesn't have the helmet cover, it's from 90 and has s-1 and the manufacturer is very worn

[@trutle88]

Literally impossible to put my helmet camo on it because the Velcro is on the interior for the helmet liner

[@elijahatkins904]

the straps on the cover should go around the webbing and strap back onto themaelv

[@cj8769]

is it possible to put a rail on these helments?

[@TheCarDemotic]

Not in any official government configuration.

[@oogabooga611]

I have one with the other pad that is wider

[@kapnino08]

Is the helmet in the middle have a missing sweatband?

[@TheCarDemotic]

Yes

[@kapnino08]

@@TheCarDemotic is it a common thing to have a missing sweatband?

[@TheCarDemotic]

@@kapnino08 Helmets were issued without them installed. You would be issued a helmet and a new in package sweatband. When you returned the helmet after you get out of the military, they took out the sweatband and threw it away. Then they issued the helmet to the next guy with a new sweatband still in the package.
