The black band is an elastic chin strap for when its a bit windy (or leaning over). Getting you helmet blown off isn't nice.
In the early years of the ship building industry, workers covered their hats with pitch (tar), and set them in the sun to cure, a common practice for dock workers in constant danger of being hit on the head by objects dropped from ship decks.
In the UK, the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Regulations 1992 specifies that hard hats are a component of PPE and, by law, all those working on construction sites or within hazardous environments are required to wear hard hats.
Georgetown, Grand Cayman Island, we walked through the coral. This was an excursion from the Celebrity cruise ship after it docked in Georgetown.
I tried it so you don't have to. Leave the goggles in the parts bin.
The gold visor from the later Mars sets works quite well with the new Space Police III helmet, though.

First version (no longer produced):
Unfortunately I destroyed my Smila Blomma from IKEA, due to mistreatment: I let the bulb come to close to the plastic. After removing the Blomma, the construction of the lamp is as such suitable, that I could turn it easily into a (echo machine on) Construction Helmet Lamp (echo machine off). It needed just 1 screw, and I can still use the helmet as an helmet.
One can even go really nerdish and turn it into an autarkic lamp by adding a solar panel or a small windmill onto the helmet. During working day at the construction site the solar panel or windmill will charge a battery, at night the helmet can be put on the Smila Blomma construction next to for instance the wardrobe section of your house. Here it than functions as a 'Honey, I'm home' lamp.

Helmet
Mongolian, 15th-17th century
The gold damascened decoration on this distinctive Mongolian helemt features six large ovals containing the diety Yamataka (literally "slayer of the lord of death") in the center, surrounded by five female attendants called dakinis ("sky-goers"). In between them are twelve protective seed syllables, which are symbolic letters also known as boji. These are flanked by Tibetan inscriptions identifying the protective attributes of each seed syllable. The brow of the helmet is encircled by a series of mantras, including invocations to Yamataka and the dakinis. In the center of the brow is a monogram known as the All-Powerful Ten, made up of the ten Sanskrit syllables of the Kalachakra mantra. Next to it is a stylized stupa or chorten, a funerary monument or reliquary that can also represent the enlightened mind.

Found at Oberaden, 1st century AD.
"At the beginning of spring Drusus sent out again for the war, crossed the Rhine, and subjugated the Usipetes. He bridged the Lippe, invaded the country of the Sugambrians, and advanced through it into the country of the Cheruscians, as far as the Weser. [...] He would have crossed the Weser also, had he not run short of provisions, and had not the winter set in [...]. Consequently he proceeded no farther, but retired to friendly territory, encountering great dangers on the way. For the enemy harassed him everywhere by ambuscades, and once they shut him up in a narrow pass and all but destroyed his army; indeed, they would have annihilated them, had they not conceived a contempt for them, as if they were already captured and needed only the finishing stroke, and so come to close quarters with them in disorder. This led to their being worsted, after which they were no longer so bold, but kept up a petty annoyance of his troops from a distance, while refusing to come nearer. Drusus accordingly conceived a scorn of them in his turn and fortified a stronghold against them at the point where the Lippe and the Eliso unite."

Helmet
Spanish, probably Nasrid period, late 15th century
This helmet
is tradisionally said to have been that of Abu'Abd Allah Muhammad, known in the West as Boabdil, the last Nasrid king of Granada 9reign 1482-83 and again 1487-92). If this is endeed so, it is the only known example of armor from the entire Nasrid period in Spain (1290-1492).
The helmet has the form of a typical Spanish sallet of the late-fifteenth century. The cutouts over the eyes, however, were inspired by Islamic helmets. The extraordinarily rich decoration, which includes cloisoone enamels and finely tooled designs in gold leaf, has close parallels in surviving Nasrid swords fittings and jewelry. The fact that the bowl has been pierced to fit the enamels and is lined with riveted plates to support them, suggests that the helmet was created exclusively for ceremonial use.
