Description
"The Med-Eng Lightweight Demining Helmet signifies Canada’s dedication to the safety of individuals throughout the world. The Med-Eng Demining Helmet is designed to provide safety to an individual in the event of a mining explosion. The Med-Eng Demining Helmet is a perfect compliment to the Med-Eng Spider Boots which were developed in order to distribute weight evenly to prevent land mines from igniting during demining."
