The M97 is a PASGT-design helmet that has become a standard part of infantry equipment in many armies. The helmet can be produced with either three or six-point suspension/retention system, which provides space between the head and inner helmet surface, thus reducing the trauma from the blow. Also, this space enables ventilation.
All helmet models can be protected with protective paint or with ABS layer.
