Israel

Last updated on 20 November 2004.



This is an Israeli OR 402 aramid helmet with one of many types of camouflage covers. This one has an elastic band for attaching foliage. It also has two velcro straps for securing equipment, like goggles or night vision goggles. It is secured on the helmet by means of a drawstring. There is also a single-sided version of this cover.

This particular helmet is a helmet used for trials by the Canadian armed forces. It has had its original 3-point chinstrap removed and replaced by a PASGT type, 2-point one.

  Label, on the outside of the cover.

Reverse side of the cover above.

The "Mitznefet" (Clown) helmet cover is designed to break up the contour of the helmet. Photos of Israeli soldiers show that this cover is worn on top of the ordinary cover. It shall not go over the rim of the helmet. The cover has a green side (left) and a brown (below).




Another cover. This time fastened with six velcro straps.

And the reverse side of the above.

A similar cover to that above, but without yellow spots. Shown on an OR 404 helmet.

This picture shows the reverse side of the cover. It is just hanged loose over the helmet to show the velcro straps.
