DESCRIPTION

Originally developed for naval damage control and onboard fire response, this Bundeswehr Marine protective hood was designed to shield the head, face, and neck in high-risk environments. Used by crews operating in confined ship spaces where fire, heat, and projections were constant threats, it reflects a highly functional approach to military safety equipment from the late 20th century.
