US made GENTEX PASGT helmet
ADF used PASGT was different with US made. But we still find some photos to show few of the Australian army did used the US made PASGT helmet. The most obvious different is the chin strap. Compare the design of helmet with US Gentex made for US Army in 80's and US Gentex also special made for Aust Army in 90's . US Gentex made is 2 points chin strap and Aust one is 3 points , also the colours and the brim is slightly different , and i can say the Aust one was lighter than US one.
