Kevlar
Helmets offer good ballistic protection from Fragmentation and most
pistol caliber threats. which is why you see most military and SWAT
teams in helmets. An even more common reason for helmets is blunt
trauma protection from impact with walls, vehicles, clubs, fists,
etc., etc.
But
please be aware that your head is much more susceptible to blunt trauma
than your body. ANY impact of a bullet on a helmet WILL CAUSE INJURY
AND CAN CAUSE DEATH. You put the odds more in your favor with head
protection, but (as with ANY armor) no guarantee of invulnerability
can be made.
Of course blunt
trauma is usually preferable to the alternative! We do strongly recommend
that you upgrade your helmet with our Foam
Impact Liner to do whatever you can for blunt trauma protection
(or, best of all, upgrade to the ACH blunt
trauma pad system).

Note:
When comparing weights please be aware that we quote ACTUAL weights
for a normal male size Medium, ready to wear. We do NOT play the "weight
loss" games you may encounter elsewhere, such as quoting the weight
of an unrealistic Small size. Ask to have the helmet you are going to
buy weighed ready to wear - in your size.

Sizing
Measure the
circumference around your forehead with a cloth tape measure
(or a belt and a ruler).
Be sure to
measure:
-
SNUGLY
- pull that tape measure snug !
-
above
the eyebrow ridge
-
head up straight, and
-
keep
the tape measure roughly parallel to the ground
-
take
the widest forehead circumference measurement you get
when the tape is SNUG.
-
it
helps to look in the mirror to check your measuring
SIZING NOTE:
1. MICH helmets
sizing is different from PASGT sizing. If you are on the large
end of the Medium size in a PASGT helmet, you might be a Large
in a MICH!
2. When you
first try it on, the MICH helmet will probably feel tight. If
the pads are cold it will definitely feel tight! See the
instruction booklet for pad configuration ideas, and try on with
different pad setups (everyones' head is different). Then wear
it for a few hours to let the pads warm up and conform to your
head.

Stops penetration

threats
Our UN-used, Brand-New
Conditon, Military Surplus have been tested by an H.P. White certified
lab for V-50 Fragmentation,
and to stop penetration of the rounds used for NIJ Level II tests:
e.g., 9 mm FMJ, at ~1,175 fps (~358 mps)
V-50
is a mil-spec standard for ballistic protection at which 50% of projectiles
are stopped, and 50% penetrate. For helmets, V-50
generally refers to Fragmentation, NOT bullets.
- V-50
of 2,150 fps (655 mps) is better than mil-spec for the US Army
PASGT Helmet! (MIL-STD-662E is 2,000 fps minimum (609 mps)
- ~3.5 lbs (1.6
kg.)
- we supply this
helmet with the most secure suspension 3-point quick-release
chin strap system plus foam top doughnut and back pad for the most
