ballistic helmet

Soldier's protective cap

A ballistic helmet is protective headgear designed to stop or deflect bullets, shrapnel, and other projectiles.

Standard military and law enforcement equipment, ballistic helmets are made from materials like Kevlar or other aramid fibers: The SWAT team donned ballistic helmets before breaching the door.

Modern versions often include mounting points for night-vision devices and communication gear.
