CG634

CG634

The CG634 is the Canadian Forces' main helmet for use in combat situations. Before, the Canadian Military was using the American M1 Helmet, which was made of steel. After becoming obsolete to the other western countries, the Canadian military decided to trial several helmets, including the American PASGT Helmet. Eventually, it was decided to create a new helmet, based upon the French 'Spectra Helmet'. The trial version, the Barrady Helmet, soon evolved into the modern day CG634, which had slightly superior ballistic properties to the PASGT.
