infantry helmet
Soldier's head protection
A helmet designed to protect soldiers who fight on foot.
Infantry helmets are typically made of metal or composite materials and shaped to deflect bullets and shrapnel while allowing visibility and hearing.
Styles have evolved from the distinctive "steel pot" of World War II to modern designs with mounts for night vision and communication equipment: The infantry helmet saved his life when debris struck his head.
