I wonder how much that US Advanced Combat Helmet costs and how that compares with the adjusted costs of the WW-I helmets.
"WWI helmet was better blast protection than new one: US study
A helmet used by French soldiers in World War I provided better protection from overhead blasts than a modern American model, according to a US university study.
Biomedical engineers from North Carolina's Duke University tested the performance of several models of World War I helmet and the US Advanced Combat Helmet by subjecting them to shock waves.
"While we found that all helmets provided a substantial amount of protection against blast, we were surprised to find that the 100-year-old helmets performed just as well as modern ones," said study author Joost Op 't Eynde.
"Indeed, some historical helmets performed better in some respects," Op 't Eynde said.
The study, published in the journal PLOS ONE, found that the French World War I "Adrian" helmet performed better than modern designs in protecting from overhead blasts."
