Our unit (US Army) had to wear a chunk of camo net on our helmets and it was awful. Would get tangled in everything, including gear, foliage, wire, etc. It didn’t really break up the outline because we were given so little of it, we had to strap it to the helmet so tightly it just was an additional helmet cover. The negative outweighs the positive by far for a bulky, flowing piece of cloth dangling from your head in combat situations.

From afar, that helmet actually looks like a big leaf which blends well with huge batch of leaves on trees. Also, checking to see if theyre facing you or have their backs turned becomes harder to distinguish while looking at them as a silhouette.

We did this decades ago using the issue scrim scarves which were intended to be worn around the neck. We also applied the trick to our 58 Pattern webbing . I have a photo of me somewhere with the same technique applied to what we called a "crap hat" the old soft peaked fatigue hat.

Wow, never noticed this before, but as long as it reduces a soldier's profile, I'm for it. Thanks for vid!

unfortunately Mitznefets are being phased out, because the dense urban warfare scenarios of today (especially in the streets of the west bank and Gaza) have streets so narrow the Mitznefet is a liability prone to getting stuck in tight corners. it might return should the northern border get hot again and troops might need to reinforce those mountainous border more, but currently the IDF is phasing them out because where soldiers are expected to fight it's benefits are limited.

I'm not sure where you've encountered this rumor, but I'm 100% certain, it is wrong. You can remove the miznefet in a matter of a second, and put it back on almost as fast. And the need for it, depends on the environment you are in. Example: when we were approaching our target from open areas, we had them on. And as we approached dense vegetation(trees and bushes) or urban environment, we'd remove them. This is a very useful tactical piece of gear. If anything, it will be upgraded in some way, like a default mini pouch on the back of the helmet's cover, where it can be stored.

I often wondered why they wore those hats. Now it makes sense.

French Chasseurs Alpins (=alpine hunters, mountain infantry units) wear a similar traditional oversized béret called "la tarte" (=the pie). It's a traditional alpine shepherd's hat and official military uniform since 1889. I don't think it is nowadays considered a battle-suited equipment though. But it used to be back then. fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9ret_de_chasseur_alpin?wprov=sfla1

The old South African Defence force's Nutria Brown camo and the fact that some SADF troops grass and stuff in their hats to help break up their silhouette. The reason I mentioned the Nutria brown camo is because the camo would become more and more effective in camouflaging the soldier the longer it stood in the sun. The fading of the camo also gave you a status, if it was quite faded, you were an ouman(old man) and you were not to be messed with and an ouman doesn't mean your age but how long you saw service on the border. If your uniform was still dark and new, you were a newbie(I can't remember the actual status name so I'm just gonna use newbie).

Pregnant women should not be in combat, regardless of their designation.

@@macrick Your right, it illustrates how out of touch biden is... Which was my point.

It distorts the shape of the head and if it is the same colour as the environment it's an excellent camouflage

Wow - interesting.Thank you!

The Bullet proof Helmet Patka is an innovative headgear which is extensively use in the Indian Army and Indian paramilitary forces. It comes in various sizes and colours to suit the user's requirement.

No helmet is bullet proof.

Outstanding piece of kit, definitely thinking outside the box. After all the point is to break up your pattern, along with camo, that’s some good sh!t..🇺🇸🔱

Absurd. Omg. WhoTF told this guy that? Where'd he learn that crap from? He likely just made that shit up. People can't figure out it's to drape a camo cloth fabric type cover??? I have one. And it's simply "put up" when not used as intended and on the move just like how women put their hair up sometimes up in a bun, she just let it down. Wtf. And that first explanation is def not it. When let it down, it covers all features to below the shoulders and the tiny holes in it allow to easily see out threw it but not in from the distance. Just like putting a low thread count sheets over your head, can still see outward but not inward. If the first reason was the real reason, they'd simply put sticks, twigs, small branches and leaves on their helmets just like snipers, rangers, and other units put on their helmets. The 360° shade and sun protection can be achieved other ways. I'd like this guy to point out or source the person or literature where he learned this BS from. Just go get a bit of camo cloth (that porous stuff and drape over your helmet and you'll see how easy it is to see threw it outward, but not inward to the face. And when not using it, just take the corners n sides and bundle it up on top of helmet and it'll look like that, a "chef's hat" LOLOL.

This was a great entry for Breaking up the head, silhouette. Great job! 🦾

I've read about this cover before and just thought it was a neat idea but also that it looked stupid. As stated in the video, it breaks up the silhouette of the helmet and provides some really good sun protection. I now think it just looks odd and maybe I should sew one up for myself. Really great idea.......

THANKS , I WAS WONDERING.

They wear it because to prevent hair from falling on to their food

Its a regular helmet, covered with a "cloth".

Уважение солдатам ЦАХАЛА!!!!

Very reasonable in a hot climate to have anything puffy that can provide any shade to the head, camo enabling profile just better.

These just look so cool on IDF. I believe MiniArt does the modern IDF in 1/35 with these Znefets...

The U.S. should utilize this for every infantry platoon. It’s very effective and practical.

As a former infantryman, I agree. I wish I had one in Afghanistan. Seems to be very practical in a desert environment.

Absolutely brilliant, Israelis are so intelligent and would want them on my side if l were in a battlezone 💪🏼😎

I wondered about this. Smart.

A very interesting idea and one whit clear practical use, yes others should adopt it, our something similar

Cool

Also not mentioned. Helmets in the desert act like ovens for the head. A loose mesh helmet cover is a lot like bringing a shady tree with you wherever you go.

Thanx for the info! I had been wondering what the purpose was🤔

Excellent. I would like to have one. It seems ideal for desert hiking.

Well now i want one.

My country (Sweden) uses camo that is ment for vehicles xD

I like them, and certainly think that my country (UK) should adopt them. Probably the strangest headgear Britain had was the bearskins, now only used in ceremonial use.

It's adopted by many armies just not advertised. As a former infantry soldier, it's about silhouette and thus breaking u the obvious outline of a soldier or to be accurate, camouflage and concealment
