M87 kevlar helmet

The M87 is a combat helmet of South African origin manufactured by South African Pith Helmet Industries (S.A.P.H.I) of Rosslyn.[1][2] The M87 replaced the steel M63 helmet during the late 1980s, and saw extensive use during the South African Border War, which took place from 1966 to 1989 in South-West Africa. It is the current standard helmet of the South African National Defence Force.
