SCRIM ASSEMBLY
Locate the front of the scrim. It will have a small laser cut index hole, and you will see a dashed line along the base of the centre shape. This dashed line is in case the user wants to cut out the shape for an NVG mount, but it usually isn't required. The rear of the scrim also has an index hole, but no dashed cut line.
Insert each end of the supplied shock cord through the small slits to the left and right of the front index hole, starting from the bottom side and pushing the cord through to the topside. Once both ends of the cord are through their respective slits, centre the scrim along the cord before continuing.
Starting with one end, weave the cord in and out, around one complete side of the scrim, until you reach the rear index hole. At this point, you may want to install the Cordloc on the end just to keep the cord from pulling back through.
Weave the other side of the scrim and, If done correctly, both ends of the shock cord will finish on the topside, to the left and right of the rear index hole.
Install the Cordloc and tie the end of the cord with an overhand knot.
SIDE EXTENSIONS
Side extensions are add-on camouflage for low-cut helmets. They are symetrical and can be installed on either side of the helmet. Take note, however, that the slits should be matched up with the host scrim.
To install, simply weave your helmet scrim’s shock cord through the slits on the side extensions. Ideally, these should be lined up with the nine (9) slits that encompass the curves on the left and right sides of the helmet scrim.
Scrim Retaining tABS (CAF CG634)
Included with the CAF scrim package, are six (6) retaining tabs, and six (6) cuts of black shock cord.
To install, thread the ends of the shock cord through the holes in the retaining tabs, and secure with two overhand knots.
Hitch the shock cord around the helmet scrim’s shock cord, and tuck the retaining tabs down into the plastic retention band of the helmet. Not all tabs are required, but we recommend installing two in the front, just forward of the helmet’s front harness straps, and two near the rear, on either side of the rear harness attachment point.
