Helmets

The most common trade-off for ballistic helmets, or any other body armor, is between weight and protection. A helmet that is light and with good protective properties comes with a greater price.

Extensive testing of ballistic helmet materials has generally shown that thicker and stiffer helmets perform better in surface deformation and penetration resistance. Please take into account that even if the helmet holds the bullet, if the force is not dissipated enough, traumas can occur later – for example, blindness.

Some fiber materials such as aramid fibers (kevlar) allow reinforcing epoxies/resins to be used during molding to increase helmet stiffness. So just because a tactical helmet is light doesn’t always mean better. The helmet is always chosen according to your specific needs and the nature of the tasks.
