High Cut Level IIIA Ballistic Helmet with Dial-Adjustable Suspension

Description The High Cut Level IIIA Ballistic Helmet with Dial-Adjustable Suspension combines a modular high-cut shell with an adjustable comfort system designed for a secure, personalized fit. It is available with either a lightweight UHMWPE shell or a durable aramid-fiber shell, allowing users to select the preferred balance of weight, durability and environmental performance. The high-cut profile creates additional clearance around the ears for compatible communication headsets and hearing protection. Integrated side rails, a front NVG shroud, retention bungees and hook-and-loop panels provide a flexible platform for compatible tactical accessories. A padded liner, rear adjustment dial and four-point retention system help stabilize the helmet and distribute pressure during extended wear. Designed for military, law enforcement, security and other authorized professional protective applications. Specifications Product Name: High Cut Level IIIA Ballistic Helmet Helmet Profile: Tactical High Cut Protection Level: Level IIIA Referenced Test Standard: NIJ Standard 0106.01 Shell Material Options: UHMWPE / Aramid Fiber Protection Area: Approximately 1,250 cm² Head Circumference: 21.6–24.8 in (55–63 cm) Available Sizes: L / XL Available Colors: Black / Green / Desert Tan Weight: Varies according to material, size and installed accessories Suspension: Padded dial-adjustable suspension Retention System: Adjustable four-point retention Buckle: Quick-release buckle Accessory Platform: Side rails, front NVG shroud, retention bungees and hook-and-loop panels Ballistic Shell Options Lightweight UHMWPE Shell The UHMWPE version is constructed from high-strength ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. It is designed to reduce overall helmet weight while maintaining dependable ballistic performance and structural durability. UHMWPE is recommended for users who prioritize: Reduced helmet weight Improved mobility Lower fatigue during extended wear Resistance to moisture and corrosion A high strength-to-weight ratio High-Strength Aramid Shell The aramid version uses layered high-strength aramid fiber to provide dependable ballistic performance, heat resistance and long-term structural stability. Aramid is recommended for users who prioritize: Durable shell construction Heat and environmental resistance Long-term structural stability Professional use in demanding conditions A traditional ballistic composite material Weight and environmental performance may differ between the UHMWPE and aramid versions. Ballistic claims apply only to the exact material and shell construction covered by the corresponding test documentation. Technical Features Level IIIA ballistic shell construction Available in UHMWPE or aramid fiber High-cut profile for increased ear clearance Compatible with selected communication headsets Compatible with selected hearing protection Padded dial-adjustable suspension system Rear adjustment dial for personalized sizing Interior pads help distribute pressure Four-point retention system for improved stability Quick-release buckle for convenient removal Adjustable straps help center the helmet Integrated side accessory rails Front shroud for compatible NVG mounting equipment Retention bungees for compatible equipment Hook-and-loop panels for patches and cable management Reinforced and sealed helmet edge Textured exterior finish Water- and oil-resistant exterior surface Non-magnetic and corrosion-resistant components Smooth surface for easier cleaning Available in multiple sizes and colors Helmet Protection Against When tested under the specified laboratory conditions, the helmet is designed to resist the following Level IIIA handgun threats: 9 mm, 115 gr at 1,400 ft/s (428 m/s) .357 SIG FMJ FN at 1,430 ft/s (435.8 m/s) Actual performance depends on projectile type, projectile velocity, impact angle, strike location, environmental exposure, helmet condition and other test variables. Fragmentation Performance Fragmentation resistance is evaluated separately from handgun ballistic testing. Fragment Simulating Projectile: 17 gr (1.1 g), .22-caliber FSP Reported V50: 2,192 ft/s (668.1 m/s) Highest Partial Penetration: 2,212 ft/s (674.2 m/s) Lowest Complete Penetration: 2,172 ft/s (662.0 m/s) High-Cut Communication Clearance The high-cut shell profile provides additional space around the ears compared with traditional full-cut helmet designs. This improves compatibility with selected: Communication headsets Hearing protection Rail-mounted headset adapters Protective eyewear Face protection Gas masks and respiratory equipment Compatibility depends on the size, shape and mounting interface of the selected equipment. Dial-Adjustable Suspension The internal comfort system combines padded contact points with a rear adjustment dial. Turning the dial allows the wearer to fine-tune the fit without completely removing the helmet. The suspension system is designed to: Distribute pressure across multiple contact points Reduce unwanted helmet movement Improve balance during extended wear Accommodate a range of head shapes Allow quick fit adjustments Maintain internal spacing for airflow This is a generic dial-adjustable suspension system and is not represented as being manufactured, licensed or endorsed by another helmet brand. Four-Point Retention System The adjustable four-point chinstrap helps maintain helmet stability during movement. Multiple adjustment points allow the wearer to center the helmet and balance strap tension. The quick-release buckle allows convenient removal while the padded chin area helps reduce pressure during extended use. Modular Accessory Platform The helmet includes a modular platform for compatible professional equipment: Side rails: Support selected lights, cameras and headset adapters Front NVG shroud: Supports compatible night-vision mounting hardware Retention bungees: Help stabilize compatible mounted equipment Hook-and-loop panels: Support patches, identifiers and cable management Night-vision equipment, lights, cameras, headset adapters and other accessories are not included unless specifically listed in the package contents. Fit and Sizing Suggested head circumference range: L: 21.6–23.2 in (55–59 cm) XL: 23.2–24.8 in (59–63 cm) To measure correctly: Place a flexible measuring tape approximately one inch above the eyebrows. Wrap it around the widest part of the head. Keep the tape level above the ears. Select the size that includes the measured circumference. Fine-tune the fit using the rear adjustment dial and chinstrap. The helmet should sit level on the head without excessive forward, rearward or side-to-side movement. Package Includes High Cut Level IIIA Ballistic Helmet Selected UHMWPE or aramid shell Padded dial-adjustable suspension Four-point retention system Quick-release buckle Side accessory rails Front NVG shroud Retention bungees Hook-and-loop panels Product documentation Accessories shown in lifestyle or demonstration images are not included unless stated separately. Care and Inspection Clean the shell using a soft, damp cloth. Do not use bleach, solvents or abrasive cleaners. Do not immerse the helmet in water. Keep it away from prolonged heat and direct sunlight. Store it in a cool, dry and ventilated environment. Inspect the shell, edge seal, rails, shroud, straps, buckle, dial and padding before use. Stop using the helmet if cracks, delamination, deformation or structural damage is visible. Replace the helmet after a ballistic impact, even if external damage appears limited. Do not drill, cut, paint or otherwise modify the ballistic shell. Follow the inspection and service-life guidance supplied with the helmet. Threat Rating and Standard This helmet is tested in accordance with NIJ Standard 0106.01 against the specified Level IIIA handgun threats, with fragmentation performance evaluated separately. Level IIIA is a handgun-rated protection level. This helmet is not rated to defeat rifle ammunition, including: 5.56×45 mm 7.62×39 mm 7.62×51 mm Ballistic performance is threat-specific and applies only to the tested helmet model, shell material, construction, size and laboratory conditions. No helmet can eliminate every risk of penetration, impact, backface deformation or injury.
