Ballistic Combat Helmet with Two Side Wing Face Guards

摘要

A ballistic armor helmet of parts which allow the helmet to be configured for particular uses and threats. The ballistic armor helmet is provided with two side wings which are fastened, removably or otherwise, to the helmet. Each side wing is fashioned of ballistic material and has a vertical part which extends downwardly to a position below the user's ear, and a front part which projects frontwardly from the vertical part to shield a portion of the user's cheek and provide additional sideward protection. With both side wings in place the front of the user's face is still unobstructed, as there is a substantial gap between the front parts of the side wings, leaving the user free to speak, eat, and breath without significant obstruction. The side wings may be attached by one or more fasteners.
