Ballistic Helmet Questions

Can it really stop a bullet?

Yes. Certified NIJ IIIA helmets resist .44 Magnum, .357 SIG and 9 mm FMJ rounds, plus fragmentation up to 660 m/s (STANAG 2920).

How do I pick the right size?

Measure around your head above the ears and 2–3 cm above the eyebrows. Size M/L fits 57–63 cm with fine-tuning via pads and the 4-point retention.

Is it ready to use out of the box?

Yes, it comes fully assembled. Adjust straps and pads for comfort. Velcro placement and accessory mounting are optional.

What accessories fit?

Supports Wilcox/Norotos/Cadex NVG mounts, ARC rails for lights and cameras, and headsets like Peltor, Sordin, or Ops-Core AMP.

High-Cut vs Full-Cut — which to choose?

High-Cut optimizes compatibility with comms/NVG and lowers weight. Full-Cut offers more ear coverage. Both can meet the same ballistic rating.

How do I clean and store it?

Wipe with a damp cloth; avoid solvents and abrasives. Store dry, shaded, at room temperature. Avoid long exposure to heat or UV.

Purchase, Shipping & Returns

Do you ship internationally?

Yes — free shipping across the EU. For non-EU countries, rates depend on destination and taxes/duties.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are processed within 24 hours. EU delivery typically takes 2–5 business days, depending on destination.

Can I change or cancel my order?

Yes, if it hasn’t shipped yet. Email contact@unitacprotection.com with your order number and requested changes.

How do I return or exchange?

Returns accepted within 30 days if unused and in original condition. For size exchanges, contact us for return instructions; we ship the replacement once received.

Which payment methods are accepted?

Visa, MasterCard, Maestro, PayPal, Klarna, Google Pay, Apple Pay. Payments are processed securely in EUR.

Will I get tracking updates?

Yes — automated emails are sent with tracking details as soon as your order ships, and on each status change.

Warranty & Product Care

What is the ballistic warranty?

5 years of ballistic performance coverage, plus an optional +5-year replacement program for qualified damage.

Do ballistic materials age?

Yes — aramid fibers naturally degrade over time. Replacement after ~10 years is recommended for maximum safety.

What’s covered by warranty?

Manufacturing or material defects under normal use. Cosmetic wear, intentional damage, or unauthorized modifications are excluded.

Can I wash or replace pads?

Gently wipe or hand-wash with mild soap and air-dry. Replacement pads, retention systems, and Velcro kits are available.

Does repainting void coverage?

Permanent coatings, drilling, or sanding may void coverage and certification. Use removable covers or decals instead.

How should I store it long-term?

Keep in a dry, shaded place at room temperature. Avoid compressing pads for long periods and keep away from heaters or direct sun.
