What period is this chinstrap a reproduction of?
This is a reproduction of the leather chinstrap used on early British Para Helmets. It is designed to be historically accurate for the Mk I Para Helmet. The design reflects those seen in WW2 photos of British airborne troops.
What materials are used in the chinstrap?
The chinstrap is made from leather. The leather is of good quality and has a good look. It is described as well-made and durable.
Are the necessary nuts and bolts included for attachment?
Nuts and bolts for attaching the chinstrap are not included with the product. These will need to be sourced separately.
How is the fit of the chinstrap on the helmet?
The chinstrap can be a bit hard to get on and may require trimming to fit some of the mounting screw holes. The fit for the strap itself is rather tight.
Are there any common issues with the rings or loops on the chinstrap?
The rings that the retaining strap threads through are generally too small. The loops are also a bit tight for the retaining strap. Some chinstraps ship with rings that are too small for the retaining strap to fit through.
How does the chinstrap sit around the ears when worn?
The strap running to the back of the helmet connects at too high an angle on the front strap, causing it to cross over the ear. The points where the two straps meet and are riveted together are much higher on the side with the chin cup compared to the side with the metal loops. This results in one side clearing the ear while the other does not.
