a beginner's guide to
COMPOSITE HELMETS

This is a basic guide to composite helmets - ballistic plastic, Kevlar, Aramid, Spectra, etc - used around the world. The idea is to build up a collection of images and information from contributions by collectors. There are other excellent websites that include information on composite helmets, and eventually they will be systematically cross-referenced here. References to manufacturers' webpages will also be included. All knowledge is good.

Contributions of images and text are welcome; please ensure that your pictures are properly representative of the real object, and that you definately know what it really is; not always so certain as one might imagine. Please note - this is a Work in Progress - we need INFORMATION - if you can add detail to these pages please make contact with Greg Pickersgill.
We have lots of pictures, but we need solid facts!
