	elmetto.net - articles - the history of the PASGT helmet
		The PASGT helmet grew out of a research effort initiated by the Army's Natick Research Lab in the early 1970'sthat was intended to lighten the load carried by infantry soldiers.
		Although the contour of the PASGT helmet is frequently compared to that of the NAZI helmet by casual observers, it was not modeled after the German M-35.
		Shortly after the PASGT was issued to the army, one of the primary manufacturers, Gentex, Inc of Carbondale, Pa., developed a variation on the helmet that was intended as an industrial hardhat.

	Derivation of an Extra-Large PASGT Helmet - Storming Media
		Although this frequency is relatively low, it suggests that at least 3,650 individuals in the active duty Army may be disaccommodated by the current PaSGT sizing system, and that a size Extra-Large helmet will be needed if all soldiers must be fit within the system.
		Several alternative methods for deriving the dimensional attributes of an Extra-Large helmet are discussed in this report, and a 6.3-mm (0.25 in) radial expansion of the existing size Large headform is recommended for developing the size Extra-Large helmet.
		Radial expansion was chosen in order to maintain the current shape of the PASGT helmet headform and to minimize the added weight due to the helmet size increase.
