It is a dull brown helmet identical to the trooper helmet, except with the pair of goggles pulled down over the wearer's eyes. It provides a Damage Threshold of 2.
Glasses can be worn with the goggles helmet, they will be visible and in front of the goggles.
When worn with authority glasses, they will cover the goggle lenses of the helmet, making them appear to have the same dark tint.
The DT even at max condition is quite low. This is due to the fact that steel helmets were not meant to be bulletproof, rather protect from flying shrapnel and debris. The helmets would be quite useful while inside old buildings, as they would protect from falling chunks of building material, and the brim would be useful outside, to protect from the sun.
Behind the scenes[]

According to Brian Menze, he "used a pith helmet for the design" when he was putting the outfit together.[Non-game 1]
