Providing Full Coverage Protection for the Head
Written by Maria Gini
The valiant individuals who form the different kinds of law enforcement forces as well the security personnel in high tension areas should be provided with the best of kind in protective armor. While the many do consider providing them with bulletproof vests and body armor, using the ballistic combat helmet often means the difference between certain death and survival. It is based on the MICH design and provides an improved helmet to soldiers, replacing the older PASGT. It provides increased 9mm bullet protection and comes with pad suspension system and the four-point chinstrap.
In ballistic testing it was found that while the helmets will stop a 9mm round, the impact indents the helmet approximately 1.5”. If the helmet sits tightly on the skull when the bullet strikes, that indentation is transferred to the skull with resultant injury and/or fracture. Holding the helmet permanently off the skull with shock-absorbing pads reduces or eliminates that scenario. Today’s combat helmets are made from modern anti-ballistic materials such as Kevlar, much like other modern body armor. Some are also designed to protect against non-ballistic wounds, such as vehicle crashes, shockwave from explosions etc. Due to weight concerns, combat helmets cannot provide the same level of protection that vests can, but are a vital part of reducing combat fatalities nonetheless.
The ballistic combat helmet with face shield offers protection area of 0.14 square meters. It boasts of low weight and high ballistic performance using high-tenacity ballistic PE fiber. The uniform lamination of both transparencies provides the finest ballistic protection available and is specially designed to provide full coverage protection for soldiers, police, military, Special Forces, SWAT teams, etc. It is specially designed to defeat the 9mm 124 grain, FMJ rounds and lesser threats in excess of 1,200 fps. Made with tough, scratch-resistant acrylic frontal plate and bullet-resistant polycarbonate inner plate, its curved design ensures protection of entire face area, from helmet brim to below chin area.
