Vietnam Helmet

The M1 helmet is an essential item for soldiers in Vietnam. It protects them from debris, the sun, and the rain. But it also serves them in their daily lives as a basin for shaving or as a cooking pot when times are tough.

A bit of history

In 1960s America, factories restarted production of M1 shells to meet the needs of the Vietnam conflict. Although modernized, the design remained faithful to that of World War II. It featured a more matte paint job and simplified finishes, but still retained the same iconic shape that accompanied a new generation of soldiers into the hostile terrain of Southeast Asia.
