Funny, the helmet redleg showed I thought might have been done with a laundry bag because of the hex shape but I said net to be more general about it. For sure I like that.
My helmet in the pic was an attempt at a desert digital of some sort and it did turn out sort of a waffen dot look. It was easily identifiable to our ANA troops and I would tell them if they got turned around to look for the helmet pattern to find me.
The helmets weren't camouflaged for hiding as you can't hide in a diesel run HMMV or a Chinook and if we dismounted we would leave the helmets behind. It was really more for decoration. You can camo in the jungle but the desert you are just looking to blend into the background. While the regular guys were wearing the grey digitals we kept wearing our DCUs, and I saw that SF/Rgr went to Multicam about the time I retired.
