The Hełm wz. 2000 is a combat helmet used by the Polish Army. Withdrawn in favor of the wz. 2005 helmet.
History
The helmet was developed based on the German Schubert helmet. It has a characteristic shape of a green shell with black rubber rim. The internal equipment is based on a profiled rim with a so-called hammock. The sweatband is made of black leather (similar to the wz. 93 helmet).[2] It was attached to the supporting hoop with Velcro. The suspension bands are black. The ballistic resistance of the helmet is at the level of general military helmets of this type (>610 m/s). The main disadvantage of the wz. 2000 is limited compatibility with helmet-mounted night vision devices according to NATO rules.
The wz. 2000 helmet can be fitted with cloth helmet covers in wz. 93 Pantera camoflauge pattern (woodland and desert version) or blue cover intended for UN forces.
In addition to the basic version, a version for aeromobile forces was developed (an additional rear leather cushion was inserted inside the helmet) and an optionally mounted face shield.[3]
The main producers of helmets were RESAL and Maskpol.
