At present, a small amount of this Hjelm lightweight combat helmet has begun to be equipped with French special forces and some marines. It will gradually replace the Felin series helmets in the future.

 

Most of the French Army's active combat helmets are Felin series, but now they have also developed the latest model, the Hjelm lightweight combat helmet. While improving on the former Felin series, it also absorbs the characteristics of the FAST rapid response helmet. It is also used in the Hjelm lightweight combat helmet. Rails or interfaces are added to the left and right sides of the helmet, and a night vision device connection slot is left at the front. In order to make it easier to hide, a large mesh cover is added to the surface of the helmet. At the same time, the mesh cover also has the ability to hang equipment.
