Currently Protek helmet, is the only option until xo3, also marks your clothes as cheap due to low value.
So I propose a mid tier helmet that will stand between those two in terms of protection, and have price that makes it not economically worth it if you care about being cost efficient. I am thinking like 9-12k retail for maybe 1 notch more of defense at most, could even be just in the piercing category, so it's really the choice for looking better rather than actual protection.
