Why the helmet isn't paintable
Hello! I have seen people asking why the helmet isnt paintable! and there is a very good reason for that. in order to make something paintable you have to reduce the quality of the texture greatly.
instead of the helmet having Green, Yellow and brown colors I would have had to make it a solid green color and that looks very dull

i was about to post a discussion about that before i noticed this one.

most thing needs to be team coloured for me but i really do like the look of this, it reminds me of the soldier's stash but for the demo instead.

"Stray Cat" if this item ends up ingame, i might look into a paintable helmet style, if i manage to make it look nice
you could make the belt around the helmet paintable

I second this. I always wanted a soldier's stash for demo.

Could this be made Compatible with Soldier as well? Just wondering, since i feel this would match the soldier, too.

it might not work as well but if it does get added it would look nice on some other classes, like pyro, engi and sniper

I understand that some people would prefer to see it paintable to allow more variation and originality in someone's character. But I think that the creators were trying to go for a U.S. Vietnam War time helmet. The classic M14 helmet with and OD Green Cover, along with a head band to strap some of the demoman's personal amenities.:stickgrenade:

Non-paintable is fine by me, i LOVE this cosmetic

This is a recommendation. I don't know if you can do this but I think it would be nice if the bombs on the vest had team-colored straps going across them (this is so players don't use the vest with other cosmetics to confuse players)
