The Israel Defence Force(IDF)'s Mitznefet, is a doubled
sided helmet cover, and is fairly said a rather goofy looking item that is unique to this
country. Issued first in 1994 this now standard piece of kit is designed
to break up the distinctive outline of the infantry man’s rigid round
helmets. It does this rather well, also covering up large portions of
the soldiers neck and face if arranged properly; this helps immensely
when trying to avoid the sun as well. With its elastic band this helmet
cover can be used by its self or with a ball cap to achieve an over all
better camouflaged state. This is a great piece of kit which is not all
together hard to get out side of Israel; I highly recommend it to all
people serious about effective camo yet unwilling to commit to a full
gillie suit.
