Vintage 1989 U.S. PASGT Kevlar Combat Helmet Military Army Issue Gear

Vintage U.S. PASGT Kevlar combat helmet from the late 1980s, a genuine piece of American military-issued protective gear widely used by U.S. forces. This example, marked circa 1989, represents a key era in modern combat helmet evolution and is highly sought after by collectors.

This helmet is pre-owned and shows heavy wear consistent with field use, including surface scuffs, patina, and interior liner deterioration. The suspension system and chinstrap are present but exhibit fraying, aging, and material fatigue from long-term use.

Constructed from Kevlar composite material, the helmet features the iconic PASGT (Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops) shape, offering enhanced ballistic protection compared to earlier steel models. Interior includes original liner band, leather padding, and webbing suspension system, along with visible stamped markings and handwritten identifiers.

Introduced in the early 1980s, the PASGT helmet replaced older steel helmets and became standard issue for U.S. military personnel through multiple conflicts, including the Gulf War era.

A strong addition for military collectors, reenactors, or display purposes, this helmet carries authentic character and history from its period of service.

All items are carefully inspected for authenticity and condition to the best of our ability.
