I well know these covers, that are really common and I also know this flap that's present on all current helmet cover. But what are these flaps used for ?

 

Someone told me it serves for NVG, other guys tell it serves for mask/google elastic,...

 

If someone have a concrete idea of the use of this flap, it interess me !

 

Thanks for response.

Yes, the flap is on all issue helmet covers. It's for a helmet radio set. Being FA, I have never seen one of the radios personaly. It is pretty much a pure "Infantry" piece of equipment.

as mentioned, it is for a radio piece that I have never seen used. I use mine as a strap retention as opposed to using the strap retention straps.

Ok ok, I never see it in use too. That the reason of my question (there's some speculation about that, now I know the real use of this). Thanks !

I believe that it was originally designed for the Land Warrior system. I have seen some guys turn the cover around and try to use it to cover the NVG mount, but that looks like hell.
