HEARTS & MINDS COLLECTION

The phrase "Hearts and Minds" became one of the defining ideas behind coalition operations during the Global War on Terror.

A collaboration built around a fabric you won't find on a helmet anywhere else…

The outer shell is authentic Saudi scarf material — 100% lightweight cotton, woven for the desert long before anyone thought to cut it into a helmet cover. We've laminated it to milspec 500D Cordura, so what reads as heritage cloth performs like nylon: abrasion resistant, dimensionally stable, and holding its shape through hard use and repeated donning.

Helmet Cover Features:

Camouflage and protect your helmet. Four-way stretch fabric across the front accepts a wide range of night vision mounting options and comes off without unscrewing the NVG mount. Strobes, electronics and small items are retained by an adjustable 1/8" bungee cordage system. Attaches via Velcro®. Sized to your helmet shell.

“Shemagh” Details:

Premium Shemagh or “keffiyeh” fabric sourced from Saudi Arabia.

Long before it became recognizable to the Western world during GWOT, the shemagh had been part of everyday life throughout the Middle East.

During the conflict it could be seen on civilians, coalition partners, contractors, journalists, tribal leaders, and insurgent fighters alike. It's one of the few pieces of material that existed on every side of the conflict, making it a fitting centerpiece for this collection.

While the typical Saudi Arabian style shemagh is red, the much rarer blue is seen here.

Ops-Core only. Designed to fit the Ops-Core FAST Maritime and SF Super High Cut Helmets.
