The Canadian military sought a replacement for the steel M1 Helmet in the 1980s. In 1984 it trialed the British Mk. 6, the American PASGT, and the Israeli OR402 composite helmets to determine the best characteristics of form, fit and, ballistic protection. A concept design was developed and the Barrday Co. of Cambridge Ontario received a contract to produce over 2,000 Spectra helmets between 1988 and 1990 for ballistic, engineering, and user trials. While the Barrday helmet performed well ballistically, field trials identified significant shortcomings. The Barrday contract was scrapped and the search for a new helmet resumed in late 1992.

  • The Canadian military sought a replacement for the steel M1 Helmet in the 1980s. In 1984 it trialed the British Mk. 6, the American PASGT, and the Israeli OR402 composite helmets to determine the best characteristics of form, fit and, ballistic protection. A concept design was developed and the Barrday Co. of Cambridge Ontario received a contract to produce over 2,000 Spectra helmets between 1988 and 1990 for ballistic, engineering, and user trials. While the Barrday helmet performed well ballistically, field trials identified significant shortcomings. The Barrday contract was scrapped and the search for a new helmet resumed in late 1992. After testing a number of European off-the-shelf designs the process was completed in May 1996 and a contract to produce 60,000 helmets was issued to the French company Gallet, which produced the TC-3 helmet and its variants for the French, Danish, and Austrian armies. From 1997 to 2004 the CG634 was manufactured by Gallet Sécurité Internationale in Saint-Romuald, Quebec. Subsequent contracts have been placed with MSA, which bought Gallet in 2002.
