Ballistic helmet
A hat that argues
Short answer
A helmet is not invincibility. It is a chance. Headshots still end the hour.
Also: combat helmet · tactical helmet · mich
How it works
Ballistic-shaped helmets exist. They eat space and hope. Infected do not respect your hat the way you want.
What to do
Wear it if you have it. Don't skip a bandage because the lid is pretty.
Don't
Don't invent an HP table for helmets.
