Helmet NSNs
You’ll find extra small,
small, medium and large hel-
mets listed in TM 10-8400-
203-23. You can also get an
extra large helmet. Here are
the NSNs for all sizes. Each
one brings a helmet shell with
suspension, headband and
chin strap:
Fit
First, make sure the helmet
fits. You don’t want a helmet
so big it blocks a soldier’s
vision. On the other hand, it
shouldn’t be so small that you
sacrifice safety, comfort and
ventilation.
The clothing issue facility
will measure your head
before issuing the helmet.
They can get a measuring
tape with NSN 8315-00-782-
3520. If they need calipers,
they can get them with NSN
5210-01-434-9493. A proper-
ly fitted helmet should leave
about a 1/2-in space between
your head and the helmet.
