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 skill 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
Recon helmets are the first helmet since the neolithic war masks to offer complete face protection. It is preferable to both simple helmets and flak helmets, with superior coverage and a higher armor rating than even a plasteel flak helmet. The main downside is the advanced component required to make each helmet, and competition from the other power armor helmets.
The marine helmet costs only 10 plasteel more, and the cataphract helmet, 20 plasteel. Once you've researched and are capable of making the heavier helmets, there is little reason to make a recon helmet. Unlike the body armors, none of the helmets slow movement speed. It is often worth to wait until you've finished researching Marine armor and just make marine helmets instead. Note that, in order to research Cataphract armor, you will need to obtain 2 techprints first.
A recon helmet is roughly equal to a marine helmet 1 quality level lower (i.e. a normal recon helmet ~= poor marine helmet, etc.), or a cataphract helmet 2 qualities lower. Thus, if you've obtained a particularly high quality recon helmet, then it is worth using.
