This high-cut helmet showcases advanced protective technology, and at just 3 lbs, is an extremely lightweight ballistic helmet. Constructed from advanced ballistic fibers, it offers solid protection, achieving backface deformation results that outperform the vast majority of commercially available ballistic helmets (read more about backface deformation).Now with updated aesthetics, the Fortis Ballistic Helmet includes two new color options and more helmet sizes, ensuring a perfect fit for even more users. The design not only optimizes the helmet's capacity for energy dispersion but also keeps it considerably lighter, reducing wearer fatigue and enhancing mobility when compared to standard Advanced Combat Helmets (ACH).While many ballistic helmets stop handgun rounds, few are proven under the same fragmentation tests used for military helmets. Independently tested to MIL-STD-662F, this helmet achieved a V50 of 2218 ft/s (676 m/s) with 17-grain fragmentation simulator projectiles (FSP), exceeding the U.S. Army's 650 m/s threshold. We are able to achieve this because of our advanced one-piece aramid shell construction, where multiple layers are formed together in a single continuous press. This creates solid, uninterrupted fiber paths with no ballistic seams, giving the shell greater strength and more consistent performance than traditional multi-panel designs.It's trusted protection not just from bullets, but from the blast and debris that come with them.The Fortis Ballistic Helmet is not just about protection; it is also designed for functionality, featuring a 7075 aviation-grade aluminum NVG shroud and glass-reinforced polycarbonate rails. Available in sizes S/M, L/XL, and 2XL, it serves a broad user base, ensuring an optimal fit with its sophisticated padding and adjustment system. This Level IIIA ballistic helmet offers a level of protection that is competitive with helmets three times its cost. This value reflects the helmet's innovative approach, employing modern engineering and materials to provide essential protection, comfort, and utility without the premium cost.Fortis Ballistic Helmet FeaturesHigh-cut designIndustry-leading backface deformation (BFD)Weight: 3lbs (S/M)Fragmentation Tested - V50 = 2218 ft/s (676 m/s) with 17-grain FSP, exceeding U.S. military standards (MIL-STD-662F) for shrapnel and blast protection1913 MIL-STD compatible rails made of glass-reinforced polycarbonate7075 NVG shroud AR/PD 10-02 compliant antimicrobial padding and dial adjustment system5-year warrantyOne-piece, seam-free ballistic shellHelmet bag sold separately *This product is imported from Thailand, is crafted from premium (non-Chinese) materials in an ISO 9001-compliant facility under our strict supervision, batch-tested to meet or exceed our quality standards, and backed by a money-back guarantee.Built to Surpass Expectations - Not Just Meet ThemWhile most commercially available ballistic helmets stop at basic penetration testing, the Fortis Ballistic Helmet is engineered for those who demand more than the bare minimum; it undergoes some of the most comprehensive ballistic and environmental testing in the industry.
