USGI PASGT
Helmet Adjustable Suspension Upgrade Assembly - Used
The USGI
PASGT Helmet Suspension Assembly (officially designated in military
logistics as the Suspension Assembly, Helmet) is a critical internal
retrofit kit engineered for the PASGT (Personnel Armor System for Ground
Troops) ballistic Kevlar helmet. Designed to replace worn, sweat-saturated,
or damaged legacy components, this upgrade system serves a dual purpose: it
ensures maximum structural safety by properly offsetting the helmet shell from
the skull to mitigate blunt-force trauma, while significantly upgrading
long-term wearing comfort.
Constructed
from a matrix of high-tensile MIL-SPEC nylon webbing, the suspension
utilizes an integrated adjustable drawstring crown configuration that allows
the operator to custom-tailor the precise riding height of the helmet. The
package is anchored around a cushioned leather headband and features a
multi-point webbing grid finished in tactical Olive Drab Green.
This specific
National Stock Number is custom-patterned explicitly for a Size Medium
PASGT helmet framework. Preserved in Used military surplus condition,
these assemblies are thoroughly inspected to ensure full operational
serviceability. While they display authentic signs of field deployment—such as
slight fading of the green nylon, minor weathering on the leather sweatband portion,
or faint storage dust—the webbing, adjustment strings, and structural
attachment rivets remain 100% intact, clean, and ready for installation.
