  • 20mm Olive Green Elastic

    Lads,

    Can anyone point me in the direction of somewhere I could get some 20mm elastic in olive green for a helmet cover, the elastic on mine is stretched beyond use. I can get 25mm through Cadetdirect but they charge £1.35/m for the tape and £9.95 to post the stuff to me here, not paying a tenner to get 2m of tape sent over!

    Cheers.

    Is it for an the old issue helmet cover? Maybe it would be cheaper to get a british surplus cover and take the elastic off that? If you've friends in the PDF they'll be able to source an old cover fairly easily.
    Everyone who's ever loved you was wrong.

      Hand it back to your CQ and request a new one. FWT

        FWT only if issued! I got a helmet on t'internet and trying to conjure up a cover for it. The brother gave me an old crewmans cover off a mowag which will fit with some alterations/black tape. Ideally the new helmet cover would be the business but are like hens teeth, and for a reason too I know. Any PDF heads have a spare new shaped one to donate??

              Will try one this evening, its basically just bigger than the one for the old helmet, now it could just be that it is and he used it on a crewmans helmet and I have taken him up wrong!

                Most PDF lads should be able to track you down an old one, If not ask the cadre most barracks stores have tons of the old ones knocking about, Unless they have sold them all on ebay!!

                  mowag crew helmets are olive green , they have no cover with them
                  you could have an old type helmet cover from a helmet b-coy 3bn used for dismount troops..

                        At long last a few pictures of the cover. Ended up with 20mm black elastic got in hickeys and a sunday evening spent sewing like a mad man.

                              I was going to say go into Hickeys, or any alteration shop like the Zip yard can help.
