U.S. Army M1 Inner Helmet / Helmet Liner - ABS

From the world leader in military surplus, Mil-Tec, this reproduction U.S. Army M1 Inner Helmet / Helmet Liner painstakingly replicates the original military-issue version, providing an authentic look, feel and protection. The original M1 helmet was a classic "steel pot" style helmet, worn by U.S. soldiers from World War II to the 1980?s - more than 40 years! The unique design proved quite popular, and militaries around the world copied it for their own use; some armed forces continue to issue a version of the M1 today, in fact. The two-piece M1 included a hard steel shell along with a lighter, more comfortable inner liner, which contained suspension and a headband. The inner liner, which this reproduction emulates, was often worn alone, as it provided greater mobility and comfort, while still affording a degree of protection. When combined, the two pieces fit snugly together for a superior defense duo. This reproduction M1 liner is perfect for parades, re-enactments and costumes, as it affords the M1 look and feel, without the two-piece M1 weight and stuffiness. Also great for collections and military displays!
