Engineered to meet NIJ 0101.06 Level IIIA standards, this helmet ensures protection against high-velocity handgun threats including .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, 9mm, and .40 S&W FMJ rounds. The structure is designed to minimize back force deformation, greatly reducing blunt force trauma. It also passes V50 ballistic performance tests, ensuring resistance to fragmentation and shrapnel, a common threat in explosive combat zones. This makes it a highly reliable component in modern tactical and riot-control gear. Whether used in urban warfare or high-risk patrols, it delivers uncompromised head protection.

Designed for extended battlefield operations, the PASGT helmet integrates cool mesh padding, adjustable nylon suspension straps, and optimized weight distribution (approx. 1.35–1.45 kg). These features ensure maximum comfort and minimal fatigue during prolonged missions. The inner lining is breathable, reducing sweat buildup, while the adjustable system provides a secure and snug fit, essential for rapid movements and high-impact environments. Its compatibility with communication headsets and visors enhances operational functionality without compromising on protection.

Beyond ballistic rounds, the helmet provides crucial protection from high-velocity shrapnel generated by grenades, IEDs, and artillery blasts. With a certified V50 rating, it ensures effective defence against fragmentation threats common in modern asymmetric warfare. The layered composition of Kevlar and aramid fibres disperses impact energy, reducing the risk of penetration and internal trauma. Whether in urban conflict zones or open battlefields, this feature ensures the wearer is protected from indirect explosive attacks—a vital asset for any soldier in active combat.
