What is pasgt helmet?

The PASGT (Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops) helmet is a type of combat helmet developed by the U.S. military in the 1980s. It replaced the M1 helmet and was used by American soldiers in the Persian Gulf War and Somalia.

The PASGT helmet is made of Kevlar, a lightweight synthetic material that is highly resistant to bullets and shrapnel. It has a chinstrap and can accommodate a variety of additional attachments such as a visor, night vision goggles, and communications systems.

The PASGT helmet is designed to provide ballistic protection to the head and neck of its wearer. It is capable of stopping shrapnel, 9mm bullets, and .44 Magnum bullets from a distance of up to 15 meters.

In recent years, the PASGT helmet has been largely replaced by the Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH), which is lighter, offers better protection, and is more comfortable to wear for longer periods. However, the PASGT helmet is still used by some units in the U.S. military as well as by some foreign militaries.
