    I also don't know if it's genuine, but it looks good ! Love it !

    And all the small holes on cover are for camo netting ? They are not the fact of wear(/usury), but well hand made otherwise they would be only on top of helmet and maybe above the screws...they look to be distributed on all the cover. What's your opinion about these small holes ?

    Thanks P-E,like you I'm sure if it's genuine issue,as for the holes I have no idea,I never really thought about them, I guessed they were just wear and tear, through normal use,but you might be onto something,with the concept of with adding natural camo material,or maybe some other type of man- made camo material.....mmm,the mystery of this cover!

    Cheers Mate,and thanks for looking Wink

    Hello,
    Did you add the desert helmet band or did it come with it? Thanks.

    Okay, thanks! By the way, you might want to look into getting a green helmet band with cat eyes on it. It would be a little more accurate with it. I have seen 6 color helmets with nets on them, I think they were attached the same way.

    Thanks Andrew.

    I have a few of the green cat eye bands,have you any pics to show an example....of the netted lids,that would be cool,to use as a reference point.

    Thanks again Gary Wink
