My modern set so far

Here are all of my modern helmets so far. I figured I'd get into them before they get more expensive and while you can still find honest salty used examples.

 

The overall shot. Forgive the mess, 3 years here and I have yet to unpack...

Desert storm PASGT. This was one that I took home with me after DS1. We never wore them much as the Navy was just beginning to phase out the M1.

3ID DCU cover with a PASGT.

Here is a 502nd 101st AB ACH. They seem pretty common. All the rhino mount goodies on this one too.

Another one that seems pretty common. 2nd Batt 44th ADA ACH. This one is named on the band.

A 4ID extra large ACH. This one actually fits my melon. Patched on one side only. No idea what the carabiner would be for or why a red one.

2nd Batt 320FA 101st AB. No foliage band but the cats eyes are sewn onto the rear of the cover itself.

USMC LWH. I've shown this one before. It was a lucky purchase for far less than what the commonly sell for.

A recent pickup. Another USMC LWH with a different suspension system in it. Plus it came with a light.

yep, that's a fine family of modern lids! Makes me appreciate them all that much more! I have a few, but I definitely think I need a few more! I've been watching this series called "Inside Combat Rescue", great show and extremely talented medics doing tough work, and it's made me really want a PJ medic helmet with a multicam cover!

 

Nice collection! Very impressive!

Really great collection! I recently got my first Kavelar helmet and woodland cover, nice 1980s helmet. Now I hope to get one of the most recent models.

 

Cheers,

Excellent! We're used to seeing collections which comprise of many M1s, but rarely, if ever, multiple PASGTs and ACHs. Super collection...well done!

My newest acquisition. A large SDS with the new NWU type III AOR2 camoflage. I'm still on the hunt for a type II AOR1 cover.

 

Also notice no comms flap on the rear. I added the NVG mount that I had laying around.

The USN eagle upside down on the front. Also the only one I could find on the cover.

I really want to get a LWH for my collection soooo bad but there just so expensive, I also want to get another PASGT because the one I had wasn't named to anyone or salty practically new so I traded it off for a very salty MICH2000 with reversible cover from 3 color desert to woodland, I was happier with the SDS MICH2000, and can you guys help me find a cheap LWH its hard to buy one when your only 16 years old and don't have a great job. Thanks Randy.Y

You wouldn't happen to have any extra NVG mounts for an ACH do you? I finally picked one up an ACH but really want to be able to mount my NODS to it.

Just watch e-bay that is where I get most of my helmets. The LWH I picked up with the name Murphy on it was a BIN of $120 which is dirt cheap for an LWH. Just keep your eyes peeled and you'll find one.

I only have one incomplete early mount with the ratchet strap but missing the hook for the rear of the shell. My next trip to Ft Hood though I can probably pick some up.
