Abstract: A combat helmet cover and a method of making it. The cover provides an irregular grass-like silhouette for the helmet that eliminates both the shine and glare of the helmet and the telltale smooth lines of the helmet. The base fabric is preferably a colored elastic or power net material, such as one consisting of about 80% nylon and 20% spandex. Attached to the base fabric are grass-like silhouette disrupter elements formed by bands of flexible material, at least one edge of which has a plurality of blade-like fingers extending therefrom which curl and assume different shapes. The dimensions of adjacent fingers vary irregularly in a grass-like pattern; the grass-like pattern can be achieved by quantizing the dimensions of the fingers and then randomly selecting the dimensions of each. A variety of distribution patterns for the disrupter elements upon the base fabric are presented.
