Lightest type of ballistic helmet in the range, a high-cut design for tactical and special forces units offering improved field of vision and communication compatibility, tested to NIJ STD 0106.01 Level IIIA.
MICH-design ballistic helmet originally made for special operations forces, offering flexibility for communication equipment, improved field of vision, reduced weight and unobstructed hearing, with a higher rear edge for comfortable wear alongside other protective equipment.
PASGT-design ballistic helmet that has become a standard part of infantry equipment in many armies, produced with either a three- or six-point suspension and retention system that creates a space between the head and the inner helmet surface to reduce blow trauma and allow ventilation.
HD2HC has a high-cut profile described for communication compatibility and an improved field of vision. M05 uses a MICH design with a higher rear edge and space for communication equipment. Accessory compatibility should be confirmed for the exact equipment combination.
M97 uses a PASGT design and is offered with three-point or six-point suspension and retention systems. The suspension creates a gap between the head and the helmet shell. The model page records the available construction details.
HD2HC is the high-cut model. M05 and M97 use MICH and PASGT designs respectively.
No. High-cut, MICH and PASGT identify designs. Refer to the exact model’s documented test standard and protection statement.
