1. Put the cover (fig. 2-35) over the helmet so the end marked "front" covers the bill of the helmet.

2. Pull the cover over the back and sides of the helmet and thread each end of the chin strap through the slits on the sides of the helmet.

3. Extend the six cover retaining tabs down and around the fixed web strap of the suspension system (not the headband). Fasten the tab onto itself with the hook and pile closure.

4. Now, place the elastic helmet band over the helmet and cover.

Hat and Mosquito Net

Wear the hat and mosquito net for protection against mosquitoes and other insects (fig. 2-36). The cloth toppiece has an elastic suspension that fits over the head or helmet. Metal rings hold the net away from the face and neck even when you are sleeping. The hat and mosquito net fit over the collar in back and are held in place in front by two elastic loops that can be attached to the pocket buttons of the shirt. An elastic draw tape at the bottom may be drawn tight when the head net is not fastened to the pocket buttons.
