real garbage 😏

it's an m1 steel pot eh?

yep

It needs work and WD40 on the outside

Not sure what paint to use

I wouldn't bother painting it

inside its cleaner than a mormons criminal record

just a cover?

give it a laundry bag

scrim is the peak m1 aesthetic

Ye I get it

but then mothball it and buy an ACH

I really dont have the spare cash for that

ironic

I know

shop around you can probably find them for under 100 if you're in the US

I'm going back but I like 80's-90's asthetics

just get a woodland helmet cover then tbh

Ye thats what I'm thinking

if you plan to actually wear your helmet you'll stop giving a fuck about aesthetics really fast

I'm also gunning for a PASGT

no

pasgts are bad

really?

I sold mine and didn't look back

Whats the deal with them

the suspension on them is basically the same as your m1 helmet, and it has a shitty chinstrap that lets the whole helmet pivot around on you

shit man

also no space for any sort of headset or earpro, and the only way to mount nightvision is with a ratchet strap, which are garbage

and the price difference to an ACH makes it illogical to upgrade the suspension

^

I'm thinking about just juryrigging a better strap

just get an ACH trust me

I'll try

I've already made these mistakes for you. I've bought an m1 helmet, a PASGT and then an ACH. ACH is miles better especially if you find an upgraded one with ops core stuff

they dont even look that different so its not like theres a sweet pasgt aesthetic

idk, pasgt has the bill which is stylin

'i guess'

but they're pretty close

K-pots are nice lookin

while we're on the bad gear topic, has anyone tried out the surplus GSSH-01 earpro?
