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

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

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.
Reviews from Police Officers
Real-world feedback from EU law enforcement.
NVG mount installed without issues; confirmed Peltor compatibility. Stays put during long shifts without pressure points.
Very solid construction. Rails and shroud are firm, no wobble. I appreciate the quiet chinstrap adjustment in the field.
Good impact damping, comfortable padding. Even with a camera and front battery, the balance remains fine.
Lightweight yet robust feel. Works well with our lights and ID patches on Velcro. Easy to adjust on the go.
Comfort holds up in cold weather; padding doesn’t harden. Quick strap adjustment even with gloves — essential for our climate.
