Strengths:
- Light: Yes your head is very important and must be kept safe, but is is almost not some huge muscle able to support weight. Though not as defensive as some Mando beskar helmet the TME-MK3 is light and easy to carry, not weighing down the user much.
- Cooling/Heating: The shape of the helmet and spaces inside allow the user to remain cool as air circulate inside, providing more comfort but also reducing risks with dehydration. At the same time this allow it to retain heat and thus keep the user head warm in cool environments.
- Crumple Zone: The Upper part of the helmet also acts as a crumple zone adding to the users protection as an enemies attack will have to pass through more material before striking the user. This mainly helps against melee attacks and blasters.
- A little Low: Does not provide a huge deal of protection as more heavy armors give meaning the user is a little more exposed then other helmets on the market.
- EMP: A well placed EMP or Ion grenade will fry the electronic devices in the helmet unless the users brings some sort of defense with them when fighting.
Keeping up with the production of a standardized equipment list for the Tythish army focus was also put on a all purpose helmet for those in the Regiments of foot to wear. The arid (hot or cold) climate of Tythe and most of the surrounding planets, especially those near Hutt space and different outerim worlds meant that the design of the helmet had to cater towards extreme temperate change. Such resulted in a rather high looking helmet that despite it's look work well in it's intended task, while providing average protection for those wearing it.
In addition to it's temperature variant design the helmet also comes equipped with google like visor with HUD, a breathing mask along with a comlick for battlefield communication. Though certain units in the Tythish army are supplied with their own unique equipment depending on the regiment they are apart of the TME-Mk3 is still a standard issue piece that all soldiers have access to.
