This is an Israeli OR 201 helmet with an original IDF issue
cover. The large label can be seen in detail below.  I have placed the 6 velcro straps around the headband so they can be seen clearly.    There is some handwriting around the elastic band. |

The reverse of the cover has piece, that can be used to
loosen up the helmet's contour. It has more reddish colours. |

Here is a U.S. PASGT helmet
cover, used by an Israeli soldier on an OR 201 type helmet. What is that stamp? DRMO? |

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. |

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. |

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