UN and O.D. Helmet covers

[CADPAT]

Hello, I am looking for some U.N. and OD Helmet covers for my Canadian CG634 Kevlar Helmet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CG634). Does any one know where to get them? The store must be in North America, I don't like buying from overseas. Thank you all, CADPAT.

I am fairly certain that http://www.afmo.com sells covers that will fit that helmet style. My parents won't let me get a helmet, so this is just a shot in a semi-lit, mostly-dark room.

EDIT: Yes, they have ACU, Woodland, Multicam, and Desert Tri-color helmet colors. I would suggest getting the ones designed for PASGT Kevlars, as the MICH covers might not fit very well.

There is a cover made to UN specs for the Canadian troops , i have to look it up but i believe i have the web address for a company that makes them for the Canadian Military , i will get back to you later on tonight.

Nik, where did you acquire one of these? I would love to have one.

I tried looking for the UN cover, found the NSN but didn't see anyone selling as surplus. As for the OD color, I'm not aware of any in existence. To my knowledge the Canadian forces only have Woodland, CADPAT, arctic white, UN blue, and a desert CADPAT.

You might be mistaking the OD color for a cover when it's actually the base helmet color. CARC paint is often used on the helmets to limit IR reflectivity and protect the helmet against NBC. It's the same type of paint used on vehicles, which is why it's a very flat color and gives the helmet a slight "textured" look.


If you need your helmet to be OD, and for some reason the base helmet color is has been repainted or is fading/chipping/etc, you can just use some good quality OD flat spray paint. Before you paint the helmet though you'll need to disassemble it and mask off any components that you were unable to remove. I also recommend filling screw/tap holes with something first or keeping the brackets in or else it could mess with the threading.


For the UN cover, I'll link something I found online below which has the NSN and other info in case that helps.

Thanks for the info on the NSN! I know I can paint it, but I think I'll just get a helmet cover for like the PASGT and have it on there. Thank you all for you're help!
