This state of the art protective system is colloquially feared, as its characteristic white appearance is associated in no small part with the Combine's finest. Elite soldiers and guards are hidden behind this gleaming white skin, the humans whose spirits were most shattered, and whose bodies were turned against their former friends and family most completely. The full-cover helmet also sports a distinct red lens, which grants the Combine Elite soldier fantastic perceptive capabilities. Amongst its protective qualities are heavy full body protection, fire and cold repelling material protection, complete toxic inhibitors, increased energetic protection, powered movement and a shield system.
