October 20, 20205 yr #1 Hey guys! Just wanted to show you my latest addition to the collection. It may look like a standard ACH with UCP Delta cover but it is a very special set.
October 20, 20205 yr Author #2 Here are the labels to the ACH and helmet cover as well as the marking inside the shell.
October 20, 20205 yr #3 Even stranger than an XXL with no NSN is that a UCP-D cover was made for it, although seemingly not sent to the military.
October 20, 20205 yr Author #4 Definitely an interesting set. Already one of my favorites in my collection.
October 20, 20205 yr #5 That would be one big dome to fill that lid. Interesting the cover was a FR material too.
October 20, 20205 yr Author #8 Thanks! The cover is unissued which makes sense since this helmet size is very rare. Very happy to have this unusual set.
October 21, 20205 yr #9 I've seen 2x sized ACH helmets before. If I recall there was one on ebay awhile back. Never seen *any* covers made in 2x though Also I've been searching for one of the UCP-Delta covers for about a decade, with no luck LOL
October 21, 20205 yr #10 cover is not only unissued but also has the "contract number" blacked out, my understanding is as part of the contract a company signs with the DLA they are not allowed to sell items to the public with a valid number. So that suggests this cover went straight from the MFG to the public without ever going through the military.

Have not seen another one, in any size, for a few years now.

Saw an ACH in an antique shop (I know, it's not THAT old) in August with a UCP-D cover and a subdued LTC leaf sewn on the front. Price was sky high (like $500 I think) so I walked away.
