A textile cover
for the
M1953, with foliage slits. Made by the Belgian firm Seyntex. The cover
has four tounges, that fold in between the shell and the liner. The
small sticker below right, is found on each of the four parts of the
cover. The camouflage pattern is identical to that of the Dutch djungle uniform. I looked up the NSN, and it says "Overtrek, helm, cam".   |

This is the 2nd type of cover

just like those of the cover below, it is just that this picture is
taken without flash, and the one below with flash. Typical label in the
small picture. |

The tri-colour desert
camouflage

pattern. |

Goggles to be used with the
M1995 helmet. These goggles come with a set of three lenses: dark,
clear, and yellow. Note that they are very wide, so that they can be
worn while still attached to the back of the helmet. They also have a
low profile, and the upper curvature fits the front rim of the helmet
perfectly. They can easily be worn with ordinary glasses (I have tested
it). These are very good goggles. They are marked B.F. MVD. |
