MICH Level IIIA UHMWPE Ballistic Helmet

Description The MICH Level IIIA UHMWPE Ballistic Helmet combines extended head coverage with a lightweight ballistic shell and a modular accessory platform. Its mid-cut MICH profile provides coverage around the front, sides, ears and rear of the head while retaining space for compatible communication and protective equipment. Constructed from high-strength Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE), the helmet is designed to balance ballistic performance, structural durability and reduced weight. An adjustable padded liner and four-point retention system help stabilize the helmet and distribute pressure during extended wear. The integrated front NVG shroud, side accessory rails and hook-and-loop panels support compatible tactical accessories. Suitable for law enforcement, security personnel and other authorized professional protective applications.

Actual protection can be affected by projectile type, velocity, impact angle, strike location, environmental conditions and the physical condition of the helmet. Fragmentation Performance 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) Modular Accessory Platform The helmet includes a modular platform designed to support compatible tactical equipment: Front NVG shroud for compatible night-vision mounting hardware Side accessory rails for compatible lights and cameras Rail-mounted adapters for compatible communication headsets Hook-and-loop panels for patches, markers and cable management Attachment points for compatible retention systems Accessories shown in promotional images are not included unless specifically stated in the package contents. Always confirm accessory compatibility before installation. Fit and Comfort The adjustable padded liner distributes helmet weight across multiple contact points, helping reduce localized pressure during prolonged wear. The four-point retention system stabilizes the shell and allows the wearer to adjust the front, rear and side straps. Recommended head circumference: L: 21.6–23.2 in (55–59 cm) XL: 23.2–24.8 in (59–63 cm) Measure around the widest part of the head, approximately one inch above the eyebrows and ears.

Do not use bleach, solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Keep the helmet away from prolonged heat and direct sunlight. Store it in a cool, dry and ventilated environment. Inspect the shell, edge trim, rails, shroud, straps, buckles and liner before use. Replace the helmet after a ballistic impact or when structural damage is visible. Do not drill, cut, paint or otherwise modify the ballistic shell. Install only compatible accessories and mounting hardware. Threat Rating and Standard This helmet is tested in accordance with NIJ Standard 0106.01 against the specified 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) Testing evaluates penetration resistance under controlled laboratory conditions. Level IIIA is a handgun-rated protection level. This helmet is not designed or rated to defeat rifle threats, including 5.56×45 mm, 7.62×39 mm or 7.62×51 mm ammunition. The stated performance applies only to the tested helmet model, shell material, construction and test conditions. No ballistic helmet can guarantee protection against every projectile, impact or circumstance.
