The HCS-1 is a wraparound tactical helmet cover, designed specifically for the Call of Defense A1 and P1 helmets. Made of 500D Cordura, it features large hook-and-loop fasteners, multiple attachment points, cable routing, and an elastic retention system. Its front and rear textile flaps cover the edges of the shell, areas particularly prone to friction during handling and repeated application. Made to order: Due to popular demand, the HCS-1 is currently made to order. Each helmet cover enters production after the selected size and color have been confirmed. A manufacturing delay may therefore apply before shipping. This process allows us to produce each configuration with the expected level of care and to better meet diverse customer needs. Design, research, development, and manufacturing all take place in our workshop in France.
The HCS-1 — Helmet Cover System Gen1 was developed as a true textile platform for helmet integration, and not as a simple decorative cover.
Its design was studied around the CallOfDefense A1 and P1 ballistic helmets, generations 1 and 2. The arrangement of the textile panels, hook and loop surfaces, elastic bands, cable passages and attachment points follows the actual geometry of these shells.
The HCS-1 allows for the organization and maintenance of various elements around the helmet while maintaining access to the front shroud, side rails, and main equipment interfaces.
The HCS-1 is primarily designed for the following models:
Thanks to its adjustable design, it can also be compatible with many helmets featuring a true high cut of the High Cut or FAST SF type, when their shell profile, dimensions and rail placement are equivalent.
Compatibility with a helmet from another brand depends on its actual geometry. Prior verification is still recommended for third-party models.
The front and rear edges are often neglected on classic helmet covers, even though they are among the areas most stressed on a daily basis.
A helmet is regularly put on, taken off, put down, moved and picked up again. Its front and rear edges are therefore particularly exposed to repeated contact and friction.
The HCS-1 incorporates a true textile downspout on these two areas in order to improve their coverage and limit superficial wear related to routine handling.
This textile protection does not alter the ballistic performance of the shell.
