Fortis Ballistic Helmet Black

This high-cut helmet showcases advanced protective technology, and at just 3 lbs, is an extremely lightweight ballistic helmet. Constructed from advanced ballistic fibers, it offers solid protection, achieving backface deformation results that outperform the vast majority of commercially available ballistic helmets.

Now with updated aesthetics, the Fortis Ballistic Helmet includes two new color options and more helmet sizes, ensuring a perfect fit for even more users. The design not only optimizes the helmet's capacity for energy dispersion but also keeps it considerably lighter, reducing wearer fatigue and enhancing mobility when compared to standard Advanced Combat Helmets (ACH).

While many ballistic helmets stop handgun rounds, few are proven under the same fragmentation tests used for military helmets. Independently tested to MIL-STD-662F, this helmet achieved a V50 of 2218 ft/s (676 m/s) with 17-grain fragmentation simulator projectiles (FSP), exceeding the U.S. Army’s 650 m/s threshold.
