If the helmet fits, walk the walk by Evalyn M., February 12, 2024

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

Very happy with this product as one of the biggest challenges ive had is finding a helmet I like and then having it not fit my larger size Noggin.. (7 3/4 ) Not only does it fit, it also fits comfortably without it being too tight or too lose.

Protect your head by Mike, February 16, 2024

Lots of people focus on the torso protection, which is a good way to lose your head . Only rated for handguns, but way better than nothing . No way to attach accessories unless you find a bolt-less mounting method.

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.

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.

Features of AR500 Armor The Protector Helmet

ACH design
Meets NIJ 0106.01 Level III-A for 9mm/.44 MAG performance
Shell thickness of .3 inches (8mm)
Comes with a nylon carry bag
