No, the REP has had those covers modified in batch about 2-3 years ago. The REP has always wanted to be identified at first glance with its helmets. Before it was with the tight fitting OG Satin 300 hoods fitted on to the F1 helmets complete with company-coloured triangles on the back...

I'm a bit confused about French helmets in general. There seem to be at least two types. Do the paratroopers wear different ones from the rest of the army?

No the paras wear the same steel helmet as the rest of the armed forces when training.

The Spectrashield helmet is worn during operational deployements by all French units.

So the French Army wears different helmets during training and on ops? Why?

VAST stocks of steel helmets...high prices of Spectra helmets...

I found this pic on Wikipedia, is this a new French cover for the Spectra helmet?

If I may be permitted to add my 2 Eurocents: French HAHO/HALO units are now using this hemet for their jumps and as a combat helmet, which allows them to jump straight into action, as it were. It was designed by some 11e BP GCP chap.

Damn they jump at a high AGL.... spend all day in the air with a -1Bravo. I've jump once with the French chute... I fell like a comet on fire.... I remember looking up. and seeing all of those vents in the chute and though almost though I needed to pull my reserve... wasn't used to that..
