Ballistic Helmet PGD ARCH

Ballistic Helmet PGD ARCH

An ARCH ballistic helmet is a high cut helmet with strong ballistic resistance. It is designed to stop the latest and most advanced threats from both fragments and small arms up to a .44 Magnum.

ARCH Ballistic Helmet is made with a high cut that leaves room for communication equipment. Furthermore it is possible to attach accessories on the accessory rail system like night vision different lights or more.

With a weight of only 1.15 kg (without helmet accessories), this is one of the lightest ballistic helmets on the market.

MATERIALS AND STANDARDS

The ballistic helmet is made in Twaron aramid from Teijin which is one of the leading manufacturers of aramids. This has given the opportunity to develop a NIJ level 3a helmet that is approved for NIJ standard 0106.01 against a .44 Magnum and 9 mm (50% BFD reduction).

ARCH helmet is made in Europe.

In addition this helmet is V50 tested according to STANAG2920, which is the NATO standard for ballistic resistance against shrapnel and fragments. The ballistic helmet is tested at 17 grains with a velocity at 720 M/S.

Polyrea spray paint around the entire helmet, ensures that your ballistic helmet can withstand rain, oil and similar liquids. This strengthens your ballistic helmet and allows it to last for many years without the painting or the ballistic properties fading.

BALLISTIC TESTING

• NIJ 0106.01 standard with IIIA 0101.06 threats: .44 magnum and .357 SIG.
• NIJ 0106.01 standard with IIIA 0108.01 threats: .44 magnum and 9 mm FMJ.
• NIJ 0106.01 standard with special threat 9 x 18 mm steel core MAK 6.0 g at velocity (335±10) m/s
• NIJ 0106.01 standard with special threat 7.62 x 25 mm FMJ 5.5 g standard lead core at (520±10) m/s
• V50 STANAG 2920: 660 m/s
• HPW-TP-0401.01B IIIA: 50% reduction in Back Face Deformation (BFD) against 9 mm FMJ.

THE BALLISTIC HELMET CAN BE ADJUSTED TO YOUR NEEDS

The Liner system inside the helmet consists of 10 Memory Foam Pads, which is PGD's specially developed foam technology that not only makes the helmet comfortable to wear, but also so that the blunt force trauma from bullet impacts is reduced. The Memory Foam pads are attached with velcro and can easily be replaced with other suspension/padding systems.

NIJ STANDARD 0106.01

NIJ standard 0106.01 is the ballistic standard for ballistic helmets and has nothing to do with NIJ standard 0101.06, which is the standard for hard armor plates.

NIJ standard 0106.01 for ballistic helmets has 3 ballistic levels where NIJ level III is the highest level for a ballistic helmet. These are tested against a .357 Magnum JSP and 9 mm FMJ. PGD has chosen to develop an even stronger helmet that can stop some of the most advanced threats, including a .44 Magnum and .357 Sig, which is equivalent to NIJ level IIIA for soft armor according to NIJ standard 0101.06.
