SWISS M71 CAMO HELMET COVER USED

Add a slice of authentic Cold War–era Swiss military history to your surplus lineup with the Swiss M71 Camo Helmet Cover. Issued to Swiss Armed Forces personnel for decades, this cover is cut from genuine Alpenflage (also known as M83 "TAZ 83") camouflage fabric — the unmistakable red, green, brown, and black brushstroke pattern that has become a cult favorite among collectors, reenactors, and surplus-fashion enthusiasts alike.

Designed specifically to fit the Swiss M71 steel helmet, the cover slips on quickly and is secured by a set of hooks and a rear drawstring lace, keeping it snug and quiet in the field. A band of stitched fabric loops circles the entire cover, giving the wearer plenty of attachment points for adding natural foliage, scrim, or burlap strips to break up the helmet silhouette in wooded and alpine terrain. As genuine military surplus, each piece is used and issued, so expect honest signs of service — minor fading, small marks, or stitching wear — all part of the authentic character that surplus buyers actively look for.
