It's not the matter of material but shape. Soldier would have to wear something that completely surrounds his head, like motorcycle helmet. Which is very uncomfortable to wear if you have to wear it all the time.
- dvanduzer 10y agoWhen I talk to experienced motorcyclists, the biggest issue isn't the physical sensation of wearing a helmet. The problem is changing the acoustics around your ears. An enclosed helmet that "hears" like a human, but filters the spikes (powering your iPod in the process)?
