| Master Gunner | I saw on the news recently that the US kevlar helmet is about to be replaced with a lighter (6 llb) one that is just as protective if not more so. Sure hope so.

| Centurion | America has 2 different types, the normal "K pot" looks just like all the ones ya'll have shown. The other Special Forces helmet, is a lightly armored Hockey helmet, its light, but has very little protection.

| Tirones | The swedish kevlar helmet, i think it's made in england. The rubber bands are for attaching bits of grass or pine for camouflage. In the winter you just turn the cover inside-out and you get a white helmet http://www.soldf.com/hjalm90.html |
