Mil-Tec Men's Reproduction M1 Helmet Liner
The M1 helmet is a helmet that was worn by U.S. soldiers from World War II to the 1980’s, a period of over 40 years, and was the standard issue helmet during those times. This combat helmet was also referred to as the steel pot helmet and has become an item that many collectors like to get their hands on. Its design was so popular that many militaries throughout the world had also adapted this style to be used by their armed forces. The M1 helmet consisted of a hard steel shell exterior piece providing the protection and toughness plus a liner shell piece which contained the suspension system and sweatband. The liner is much lighter in weight and could also be worn without the steel pot shell as it provided slight protection. When combined the two pieces fit snugly together for a superior defense duo.
