Helpful Positive Review Great for those with Larger heads. by Jear Bear, February 15, 2024

Most Recent Reviews Protect your head by Mike, February 16, 2024

Product Info for AR500 Armor The Protector Helmet

The Protector Helmet is based on the classic PASGT helmet issued for decades in middle eastern conflicts, however, unlike those older designs, the Protector features an adjustable suspension system and enhanced padding.image

This helmet provides single-hit protection against all handgun threats and is tested in accordance with NIJ 0106.01 level IIIA standards with .44 magnum rounds. It is principally made of an integrated formation of aramid fiber, placed under high heat and pressure. This material is popular for lightweight armor for its high strength and is especially resilient in extreme temperatures.

The outer surface of the helmet shell is coated in a matte finish with a walnut powder texture, while the helmet edge is covered by low-friction rubber. It features a boltless retention system and a full shell to cover your entire head, unlike some modern designs.
