My theory is that Dan's Marine wears my Marine's helmet, and my Marine wears Dan's Marine's mask, thereby rendering each vacuum-proof. Only not at the same time.
It is kinda odd, because Dan included the big ring collar, and it looks like the collar has an inner seal that would keep suit pressure, but the helmet has no visor or apparent way to seal to the suit. With the mask he'd be proofed against lack of oxygen, but the lack of air pressure and the near-absolute-zero temps of space would be hard on the eyes indeed.
