I think a few Japanese SWAT units use this helmet, maybe a few LEO in Korea as well. Unfortunately it never gained a lot of traction outside of that sector though, since full face coverage doesn’t tend to translate well to active combat zones. I seem to remember the main drawback of the helmet being the lack of visibility since the wearer’s peripheral is obscured by the armor plating. That being said, it’s definitely Gucci for special police units.
