Differences of World War 2 helmets and Vietnam War era helmets?
The M-1 Steel helmet has a stripe of metal rolled over the edge of the bottom of the helmet. The helmets made during WW2 had this edge strip meet at a seam in the FRONT of the helmet. All Vietname era helmets was made so the seam was in the rear. However, the problem is that this change in manufacture was begun during WW2 so some WW2-era helmets also have the seam in the rear.That is much as I know.

The liner will have a small hole in the front, and have khaki webbing inside. The webbing in the liner will have a hole in the middle. A Vietnam era helmet is lighter in colour, and has green straps.

What is the weight of a Vietnam helmet?
A GI steel pot (M1 steel helmet) in Vietnam weighed about 3 to 4 pounds; the steel shell itself weighed about 2 1/4 lbs. Added to that was the liner, straps (which had metal attachments), camo cover and helmet band (to keep the the camo cover in place; but was often used to hold LSA. Cigarrettes, or Mosquito juice). The NVA green pith helmets (today, still being manufactured in Vietnam, exported and sold in military surplus stores across the nation) weighed probably less than 2 lbs. But the NVA helmet was designed and intended to protect the NVA soldiers from the sun (pith helmets are also called sun helmets); not shrapnel and low velocity bullets like the GI steel pot was. Today's current country of Vietnam probably still issues that same helmet to their army. But the US began to phase out the steel pot (M1) back in the 1980s.

What helmet should you have for dirt jumping?
I'd suggest a bicycle helmet. A good compromise between protection and comfort. If you want more protection, use a motorcycle/scooter helmet. But it will be heavy and sweaty. A skateboard/inlines helmet is an OK choice too.
