Additionally, the rail system allows you to add; an O2 mask, lights, camera, night vision equipment, flashlight, weapon sight etc and a GoPro camera on the front shroud. A weight of just 3lb (without helmet accessories), makes this a very light accessory.

This bulletproof helmet is made of a ballistic Aramid, Twaron from Teijin, one of the leading Dutch manufacturers of bulletproof aramids. This Bulletproof helmet has been tested and approved for NIJ standard 0106.01, where it can stop a .357 Sig and a .44 Magnum.

Besides this test, the bullet proof helmet is also tested and approved for V50 according to STANAG2920, which is the NATO standard for bullet proof materials. This standard indicates how resistant the helmet is against shrapnel and fragments where this helmet has been tested to 17 grains of 720 m/sec. Furthermore, this bullet proof helmet is also tested according to EN397, which gives this helmet an excellent shock absorption performance, as it reduces the impact damage of bullets in the head and neck.

This helmet is sprayed with a special layer of Polyurea spray paint. This extra layer of polyurea spray paint ensures that the helmet is protected from impacts and makes the bullet proof helmet resistant to rain, liquids, and moisture. At the same time, it also strengthens the ballistic properties of the helmet as these are better protected.

The Liner system inside the helmet consists of 10 Memory Foam Pads, consisting of specially developed foam technology that not only makes the helmet comfortable to wear but also so that the blunt force trauma from bullet impacts is reduced.

WHAT’S HIGH CUT?

High Cut helmets have become increasingly popular in the 2010s. The point of these helmets is the functionality and comfort when wearing earpro and comms. These can be very uncomfortable under regular helmets.

By sacrificing a small amount of ballistic protection area, the user comfort is greatly increased which helps the user stay more attentive.

Sizing and adjustability

These helmets are available in two shell sizes, Large and X-Large. The liner adjusts down quite a bit with the handy dial in the back.

By moving around or even exchanging the pads for aftermarket ones (thinner/thicker) you can modify the fit further.
