Helmet cover

The helmet cover was first used by the United States Marine Corps during the Pacific War to help blend in with in their surroundings. The cover is made out of canvas or cotton and comes in many camouflage designs, for example: woodland, desert or urban, and different camouflage patterns like MARPAT, CADPAT and ACUPAT.
