What are those big, floppy beekeeper's-bonnet type thingies that Israeli soldiers wear on their helmets? They seem to be a relatively new thing.

Hi Steve
It is called a Mitznefet. It is designed to distort the outline of the helmet which is more likely to help you merge with the background and unlike normal camo net no two will look the same. one side is woodland and the other desert pattern. In use since 2006.

Thanks for clearing that up, Wayne! It's been puzzling me for a while.
