I have decided for my first real post I will post a picture of one of the helmets in my collection. The first helmet I will show is the first helmet I ever got, the US M1 Steel Pot.

I love everything about this helmet (even though it is a little heavy), the thing I love the most is the silhouette this helmet, it is a classic. I always did find it interesting how the liner looks. It is interesting because its the only helmet to use a web suspension system, (all the other helmets in my collection use leather flaps). The M1 also has a removable liner (no picture of the liner separately, sorry) that you can where as lighter head protection. The M1 is a great helmet as shown by the fact that we used it from World War 2 all the way through to a little after Vietnam.
I hope you enjoyed this little look at one of my helmets. Stayed tuned for my French Helmet overview.
