    Abstract: A combat helmet has a shell made from a ballistic rated material, the shell having an outer surface and an inner surface such that at least a portion of the outer surface is formed as a series of adjoining polygon shaped faceted regions that help distribute any force impacted on such regions across a relatively large portion of the shell. The faceted regions are curvedly contoured, and may extend through to the inner surface of the shell. The faceted regions may cover primarily the crown section of the helmet shell, the lower section, or both.
