Frequently Asked Questions

What is a tactical ballistic helmet?

Widely used across the military and in law enforcement agencies, these helmets are designed to provide protection in combat situations. Modern ballistic helmets are constructed using lightweight yet extremely strong materials like kevlar and carbon fiber for protection from ballistic threats and blunt trauma. Many helmets can also be used with interchangeable devices like night vision optics and audio equipment.

 

Can civilians buy surplus ballistic helmets?

While most commonly used by soldiers, SWAT teams, and other law enforcement officers, there aren’t any federal laws prohibiting law-abiding civilians from buying ballistic helmets. They’re often used by hunters in the wilderness. They may also be helpful for outdoor adventures, such as climbing, base jumping, and more.

 

What features should I consider when choosing military surplus ballistic helmets?

Protection is the most important feature. For ballistic protection, choose a rating of NIJ level IIIA, which protects from 9mm, .357, and .44 Magnum. You may also want to consider your helmet’s fragment protection. In addition, your tactical ballistic helmet should be comfortable enough for extended wear. Pick a lightweight helmet of your specific size with a secure retention system.
