The Combat Helmet – The Shape
A combat helmet or battle helmet is a type of helmet, a piece of personal armour designed specifically to protect the head during combat. Helmets are among the oldest forms of personal protective equipment. Their materials and construction became more advanced as weapons became more and more powerful. Initially constructed from leather and brass, and then bronze and iron during the Bronze and Iron Ages, they soon came to be made entirely from forged steel. At that time, they were purely military equipment, protecting the head from cutting blows with swords, flying arrows, and low-velocity musketry. Many of today’s combat helmets have been adapted for modern warfare requirements and upgraded with rails to act as a platform for mounting cameras, video cameras and VAS Shrouds for the mounting of Night Vision Goggles (NVG) and monocular Night Vision Devices (NVD).
