Description
Big Foot Elastic rope helmet cover (FL)
This is the FL version of the Big Foot elastic rope helmet cover, a fabric cover that slips over an airsoft helmet and uses elastic rope to hold it close to the shell. The exact colour or pattern of the FL version is shown in the product photos. Big Foot is known for good-value tactical equipment, and its helmet covers are a simple way to change the look of a helmet without buying a new one.
Covering a helmet does two jobs: it helps the helmet blend in with the rest of your kit, and it protects the paint or finish of the shell from knocks and scrapes. It also makes it easy to swap looks between different sites, teams and events.
Fitting the cover
Stretch the cover over the crown of the helmet and ease it down evenly at the front, sides and back, then draw in the elastic rope so it sits snugly without bunching. Check that it does not cover anything you need to reach, and that mounts, rails, straps, goggles and headsets still work properly with it fitted.
Helmet covers are cut for particular helmet styles, so compare it with your helmet before cutting or modifying anything. If it feels loose, tightening the elastic rope will usually take up the slack.
Matching your loadout
Choose a cover that suits the uniform and gear you wear most, and check the product photos to compare the FL version with your kit. A helmet that matches your uniform stops your head standing out as a block of colour when you look over cover.
The elastic rope also lets you add small amounts of scrim or foliage for woodland games, as long as anything you add is secure and clear of your eyes.

Designed to fit over an airsoft helmet. Helmet shapes and sizes vary between makers and models, so check that the cover suits your helmet before buying, and compare it with the product photos. If you are unsure, contact us with your helmet model and we will help where we can.
Care and maintenance
Let dirt dry, then brush it off. For a proper clean, remove the cover, wash it by hand in lukewarm water with a gentle soap, rinse it well and let it air dry; avoid tumble dryers and radiators.
Elastic cord loses its stretch over time, so check it every few games and replace it when it no longer holds the cover snugly. Keep the cover dry in storage.
Who is it for?
A good choice for players who want to match their helmet to the FL colourway shown in the photos, or who want an easy way to protect a helmet and change its look.
