Cap Camouflage Pattern I

Forgive me if there is already a thread like this, I did a brief search and didn't see any. I noticed that there are threads for m1 helmet makers but not for Kevlar. I thought it would be nice to compile a list of them.

 

So far for PASGT I have seen the following makers. Please chime in if you know any others or the time frame of their contract.

Devils Lake Sioux MFG 1981-?

Stemaco Products INC. ?-1988-?

 

MICH

 

For ACH I know of the follow makers. Again any input is appreciated.

MSA ?-2009-? They don't seem to have contract dates on all of their helmets.

 

For the LWH I think only gentex makes these.n. Once again please comment if you have any info

Gentex

DH132B CVC - all of the above.

 

RBR F6

 

ECH

Ceradyne

 

Any other helmets?

Obviously this list is very incomplete and just to get this thread started.

Thanks.

MSA has made the MICH/ACH since at least 2004. When I deployed to go to Iraq in January 2005 I was issued an ACH made by MSA. I have a few ACH's made by different companies, I'll try and look at them in the next couple days for you.

Unicor made PASGTs

 

Rabintex - Made ACH's but were subsequently recalled for being defective. I believe that they were purchased by Armorsource

 

CGF Gallet - Developed the MICH (iirc) and then were subsequently purchased by MSA

 

Opscore - SF helmets
