WW2 US ARMY WINTER TANKERS ARMOURED CLOTH HELMET ORIGINAL

WW2 US Army Winter Tankers Hat in very good condition. Looks to be in unissued condition.

The WWII US Army, cold weather tanker hood was the standard army winter cloth cap preferred by armoured crews as it had more protection and warmth than other hats. 

The wool-lined winter tanker combat hood is longer, insulated and padded.  There are straps with button snaps on both sides to hold the goggle straps in place, so you do not lose your goggles.

This is a large size (about a 7 1/2) with no markings.  It is Khaki/greenish in colour. It has an adjustable chinstrap with buckle and snap.

These were designed to be worn under the M38 helmet, often called the "crash helmet" during the winter months, as there really wasn't a heating system for the inside of the tanks.

Was used in many US armoured vehicles such as M3, M4, M5 Sherman, Stuart, Tanks, Halftracks, MB, GPW, Jeep, etc.

These were even worn by fighter pilots sometimes.
