Kevlar Helmets offer good ballistic protection from Fragmentation and most pistol caliber threat which is why you see most military and SWAT teams in helmets. An even more common reason for helmets is blunt trauma protection from impact with walls, vehicles, clubs, fists, etc., etc.

But please be aware that your head is much more susceptible to blunt trauma than your body. ANY impact of a bullet on a helmet WILL CAUSE INJURY AND CAN CAUSE DEATH. You put the odds more in your favor with head protection, but (as with ANY armor) no guarantee of invulnerability can be made.

Of course blunt trauma is usually preferable to the alternative!  If you don't have the ACH blunt trauma pad system we strongly recommend that you upgrade your helmet with our Foam Impact Liner to bring blunt trauma protection closer to the latest mil-spec - or, best of all, retrofit the ACH blunt trauma pad system

Note: When comparing weights please be aware that we quote ACTUAL weights for a normal male size Medium, ready to wear. We do NOT play the "weight loss" games you may encounter elsewhere, such as quoting the weight of an unrealistic Small size. Ask to have the helmet you are going to buy weighed ready to wear - in your size.

Measure the circumference around your forehead with a cloth tape measure (or a belt and a ruler).

Be sure to measure:

• SNUGLY - pull that tape measure snug !
• above the eyebrows
• head up straight, and
• keep the tape measure roughly parallel to the ground
• take the widest forehead circumference measurement you get when the tape is SNUG.
• it helps to look in the mirror to check your measuring
