{{for|the [[elven item]] in [[NetHack]] and other variants|elven leather helm}}
A '''leather helm''' is a type of [[helm]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]]. It naturally always has a [[leather]] [[Object materials (dNetHack)|material]], and appears as a [[leather hat]] when [[Identification|unidentified]].

==Generation==
The leather helm makes up {{frac|200}} of all armor randomly generated on the ground, in random [[shop]]s or as [[death drop]]s. General stores, used armor dealerships and antique weapon outlets can stock leather helms.

==Description==
While [[worn]], a leather helm grants 0 base [[AC]] and 1 [[DR]].
