A Recon helmet is a full-head power armor helmet that forms a full set along with the Recon armor.
Acquisition
Recon helmets can be crafted at a Fabrication bench once the Recon armor research project has been completed. They require 30 Plasteel, 1 Advanced component, 15,750 ticks (4.38 mins) of work, and a Crafting of 6.
Alternatively, the armor can be received as a quest reward, purchased from outlander and Empire 
traders and faction bases, or found on Imperial Janissaries and other Raiders.[Which?]
Analysis
The first helmet to offer full head and face coverage since the tribal war mask, the recon helmet is the lowest tier of the three power armored helmets, the other two being the marine helmet and the cataphract helmet. It is roughly equivalent to a marine helmet one quality level lower (i.e. a normal recon helmet ~= poor marine helmet, etc.), or a cataphract helmet of two quality levels lower, both of which offer the same full coverage. Although offering noticeably less protection, recon helmets are both significantly cheaper and have fewer research requirements.
Compared to the simple helmet and flak helmet, the recon helmet is preferable by almost every measure. It offers superior coverage, adding complete face coverage, has a higher armor rating than even a plasteel flak helmet, and requires 20 less plasteel to construct. Its only drawbacks are that it requires an advanced component, which the simpler helmets do not, and requires plasteel, which is only an option with the simpler helmets.
Veils and war masks provide identical coverage, but even with the highest level materials, they only offer a fraction of the sharp and blunt protection.
So, if you have the materials, this is the obvious choice unless you can produce one of the other power armor helmets. Note that there are no movement or significant weight considerations to any helmets, and all three power armor helms are equal (minor) insulation in hot/cold weather.

Ideoligions allow the selection of styles which then change the texture of the certain items and buildings when constructed by the colony. These style variants can be crafted if the colony has the selected style, or can be looted from raiders from factions with the requisite style.
