[edit] Article rethinking?

This looks like a mess of an article. I don’t often like to be negative of wiki articles, simply because I like wiki too much :), but this article needs a rethinking and rewriting.

There is no such thing as a “Spectra helmet”. It is a generic term and it makes little sense to loop all Spectra helmets, of both radical different designs, characteristic, make, model and use, into one article. It would be the same as looping all steel helmets into one article, or all cars (regardless of make or model) into one article.

Now one could write an article about “MSA Gallet Spectra helmets for military use”, that would make sense, and also limited the number of variants one had to write about. Right now the article interspread data from no less than 3 different variants of MSA Gallet military helmets, and does not at any moment make it clear that these are vastly different helmets, in both design, specifications and characteristic, not to talk about who uses them and what they are used for. There is also an increasing large number of civilian “Spectra helmets”. Twthmoses 20:49, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

The MSA links mention the helmets as Aramid. Spectra is not an aramid
