 A helmet with a plastic shield that covers your entire face. 

This is a somewhat heavy clothing item made of plastic and iron, which covers 95% of your head, eyes and mouth, and which has no storage capacity. It is very bulky, encumbers you a bit, and will provide some warmth to the areas it covers.

It offers low protection against bashing attacks and low protection against cutting ones (that includes bullets), while offering low protection from environmental hazards.

It reduces the morale hit when getting wet (and can even transform it into morale bonus), provides a weak block when wielded as a weapon.

This clothing item can be repaired, fitted (if appropriate) and reinforced via the mechanics skill, by using a soldering iron and plastic chunks.
