The ODST helmet, which was originally designed for use with MJOLNIR armor<ref name="Armory"/>, is made of titanium, coated with a heat ~~resistance~~ material to help disperse heat - the inside is lined with black padding to provide comfort when the user is wearing it. The helmet's faceplate is made of a strong, glass-like material with the ability to polarize. When polarized, the helmet's faceplate has a ~~blue-~~silver color ~~to it,~~ and obscures the wearer's face completely.

The helmet provides excellent protection against small-arms fire and small explosive attacks. The helmet is also essential in providing an ODST the ability to perform EVA and also provides a Heads Up Display, giving the wearer basic information including a targeting reticule, weapon information, ammo capacity, and basic health readout. The newest version of the helmet integrates with the user's standard [[~~Neural Interface~~]] to provide more tactical data to the HUD. Helmet-integrated neural interfaces is another piece of technology that has seen widespread adoption from Project MJOLNIR.
