Italian SEPT2 composite helmet, surplus

When you have the PASGT helmet as the spiritual guide, you can actually trust the Italians to come up with a pretty good kevlar helmet of their own. Not sold for any actual protective use, only as a collectible!

From the outside the SEPT2 resembles a typical "Fritz" helmet, with a surprisingly nice leather & nylon suspension on the inside. The suspension styles have minor variations, but all do the same thing.

SEPT2 saw use from the mid-90s to the early 2000s, until declared obsolete and removed from service. Apparently, they didn't release these a lot to the market, so grab yours now if you want one for a reasonable price.

Size info

Three sizes available, with the official Italian recommendations for wearer's head circumference in centimeters :

• Taglia 3: Small, 55-56 / 6 7/8" - 7"
• Taglia 2: Medium, 57-58 / 7 1/8" - 7 1/4"
• Taglia 1: Large, 59-60 / 7 3/8" - 7 1/2"

Condition

The helmets are used, but generally in nice overall shape. We'll say it again: these are NOT sold for any actual protective use, only as collectibles and the headwear of choice for the fashion-conscious consumer.
