Yes, and you see the same thing in the movie; the Protecs are often referred to as "hockey helmets"; you may also have read in the book that they rethought that policy after realizing that one or two of their dead (Shugart or Gordon among them) were shot in the head and may have survived (a little longer, anyway) had they been wearing ballistic protection on their noggins.
