Yeah... I'm not sold on this

So, in the upcoming (sometime in April. Maybe.) 1.2 patch for SWTOR, they're adding new gear. There are some pictures here. (First row, second and third columns.)

Some of that gear is pretty cool looking and some.... wtf?

Specifically, in that picture of the Republic classes, what in the name of fuck is that smuggler wearing on her head?

Nice
