The Hełm wz. 93 is a combat helmet that was used by the Polish Army from 1993 until it was succeeded by the wz. 2000 helmet.

It was the first composite Polish Army helmet (before it, there was also a prototype, the so-called Aleksander Dutka helmet). The wz. 93 helmet was intended to replace older steel helmets wz. 50 and wz. 67. The shape of the shell is quite original, the liner is made of artificial leather dyed black.^[1] The helmet was painted green and came in two sizes: small (M) and large (D). The wz. 93 helmet can be fitted with camouflaged helmet covers (wz. 89 Puma and wz. 93 Pantera).^[2]

The wz. 93 produced by Bella company is certified by WITU and the German Shooting Research Center in Mellrichstadt No. B-940049.
