RAID Cover – FLUX Soldiers have been covering their helmets for a long time and the concept is not new to the nylon industry. Helmet covers have many benefits that keep them relevant even as the ballistic technology of helmets evolve. Primarily, covers aid in the protection of your helmet and provide a sacrificial barrier between the elements and your lid. Most notably, they help with abrasion resistance. Additionally, helmet covers allow the end user the ability to rapidly change the color of their helmet in changing environments or to add IR Defeat properties in a cost effective manner. With so many options out there, what makes this helmet cover different? The Spiritus Systems R A I D Cover was developed with ground combat operations in mind. The market is currently filled with helmet covers that offer a ton of features, such as built in battery packs and bungee systems. Spiritus decided to go with an extremely bare bones and slick configuration instead. After a few months of testing different feature-rich designs, Spiritus decided that less is more when it comes to helmet cover design. They found that having features like bungee cords permanently attached to the helmet quickly become snag hazards that can be fatal when conducting HELO or Airborne operations. Instead, they opted for a lower profile, fitted design which matches the natural contour of the helmet. The idea is that you can attach accessories like strobes, battery packs, and identifiers with Velcro. This eliminates the snag hazard, as the velcro will separate long before an injury could be caused. The R A I D cover is built out of Solution Dyed IR DEFEAT 500D Cordura Nylon. It uses genuine VELCRO brand Hook and Loop which is also IR DEFEAT. Spiritus also reinforced the front attachment points with a rubber-impregnated material (HANK) that is extremely abrasion resistant to prevent wear on high friction points. Note: This product may be shown with optional accessories. Made in the USA

So, what makes the Spiritus Systems R A I D Cover different? Developed with ground combat operations in mind, this cover stands out in a market filled with feature-rich designs.
Design Philosophy
Spiritus opted for a bare-bones and slick configuration after testing various designs. They discovered that features like permanently attached bungee cords can become snag hazards during HELO or Airborne operations.

Attachment Options
The design allows users to attach accessories such as strobes, battery packs, and identifiers using Velcro. This eliminates snag hazards, as the Velcro will separate long before an injury could occur.
Material and Durability
The R A I D cover is constructed from Solution Dyed IR DEFEAT 500D Cordura Nylon. It features genuine VELCRO brand Hook and Loop, also IR DEFEAT. Additionally, Spiritus reinforced the front attachment points with a rubber-impregnated material (HANK) that is extremely abrasion-resistant, preventing wear on high-friction points.
