- Why Bulletproof Zone?
The EDI-USA PASGT Helmet is a classic, battle-proven ballistic helmet tested to Level III-A (ambient) and HG2 (ambient) under NIJ threat parameters, with additional STANAG 2920 (V50) fragmentation resistance. Designed originally for military operations, it delivers full ballistic coverage from the forehead to the back of the head, including the ears. Available in black, green, or tan (custom order), and in navy blue for film crews and journalists operating in high-risk environments. Sizes run Medium, Large, and Extra Large.
Who this is for
- Law enforcement and corrections officers who need a proven, field-tested ballistic helmet for patrol, corrections duty, or civil disturbance operations.
- Journalists and film crews working in conflict zones or dangerous environments who require discreet, civilian-appropriate ballistic head protection.
- Civilian preppers and security professionals seeking reliable handgun-threat protection in a classic, widely compatible helmet profile.
Threat rating and standard
The PASGT Helmet is tested to Level III-A (ambient) and HG2 (ambient), stopping ballistic threats up to .44 Magnum, including intermediate handgun calibers such as 9mm and .357 SIG. Testing is conducted at ambient temperature conditions consistent with NIJ threat-level parameters.
The helmet also meets STANAG 2920 (V50) fragmentation standards, providing resistance to shrapnel and other fragmentation threats. This fragmentation rating is distinct from — and in addition to — the handgun ballistic rating. Like all currently available ballistic helmets, this model is not designed or rated to stop high-velocity rifle threats.
Shell material and construction
The PASGT profile provides coverage from the forehead around the full circumference of the head and down to cover the ears, making it one of the most protective shell geometries available in a wearable helmet. The interior is lined with durable mesh for comfort during extended wear. A ballistic neck protection add-on is available as an optional configuration for users who require expanded coverage.
Suspension and retention
The interior suspension system is adjustable and fits securely during active use. Two retention configurations are available: a rubber chin cup, or a double chin strap without the rubber chin cup. Specify your preferred configuration at the time of ordering. The suspension adjusts to keep the helmet stable across movement, and the mesh lining supports extended wear without excessive pressure points.
Sizing
Available in Medium, Large, and Extra Large. Custom interior suspension systems are available for special orders. Contact us for sizing guidance or bulk department orders.

Frequently asked questions
Can this helmet be shipped to my state?
It depends on your state. This helmet cannot be shipped to New York or Connecticut due to state body armor restrictions. It is also subject to US export regulations. Under 18 U.S.C. § 931, anyone with a federal felony conviction for a crime of violence is prohibited from purchasing or possessing body armor.
What does Level III-A HG2 mean for this helmet?
Level III-A and HG2 are handgun-threat designations. This helmet is tested to stop ballistic threats up to .44 Magnum at ambient conditions, including 9mm and .357 SIG. HG2 is the NIJ 0123.00-aligned terminology; III-A is the legacy NIJ 0101.06 designation. Both refer to the same handgun threat tier.
Will this helmet stop rifle rounds?
No. This helmet is tested to handgun threat levels (III-A / HG2) and fragmentation resistance per STANAG 2920. No currently available wearable ballistic helmet is rated to stop high-velocity rifle threats at the RF3 (Level IV equivalent) tier. Rifle rounds exceed the protective capability of any wearable ballistic helmet on the market.
What is the difference between the rubber chin cup and double chin strap options?
The rubber chin cup wraps under the chin for a secure, cushioned hold. The double chin strap uses two nylon straps without the rubber cup. Both keep the helmet stable during use. The preference is largely personal — some users find the chin cup more comfortable, while others prefer the strap configuration. Specify your choice when ordering.
Is this helmet available in custom colors or with custom markings?
Yes. Custom colors and interior suspension systems are available for special orders. Custom logos and inscriptions can also be applied. Standard stock colors are black, green, and navy blue. Tan is available as a custom order. Contact us for custom color and marking requests or bulk department pricing.
Is this helmet available for law enforcement evaluation?
Yes. Law enforcement agencies can request a free test and evaluation (T&E) sample of this helmet. Contact us to arrange a T&E unit for your department before committing to a bulk purchase.

The Bulletproof Zone Promise
When you buy body armor, you're buying your safety. We don't take that lightly. Here's what every order from Bulletproof Zone includes.
1. Authorized dealer of every brand we carry
Every plate, vest, and carrier we ship comes from the manufacturer directly to our warehouse. We don't sell gray-market product, surplus, or returns. That means factory-fresh stock, the full manufacturer warranty, and real after-sale support — the kind only an authorized dealer can offer.
We maintain authorized-dealer relationships with America's leading body armor brands, including Spartan Armor Systems, AR500 Armor, RMA Defense, Shellback Tactical, Caliber Armor, DFNDR Armor, Protection Group Denmark, BulletSafe, BulletBlocker, and over 40 more.
2. Best price, guaranteed
If you find a lower price at another authorized dealer of the same product within six months of your purchase, we'll refund the difference.
Why the "authorized dealer" requirement? Because gray-market and surplus armor may not be genuine, may have a compromised supply chain, and almost never comes with a manufacturer warranty. We won't price-match against products that may not actually protect you.
3. Free fitment consultation
Body armor only protects you if it fits. Email us a photo and your measurements before you order, and one of our specialists will help you size your carrier and plates correctly — at no charge, no obligation.
4. Trusted by thousands of customers
Bulletproof Zone has been a trusted authorized dealer of America's leading body armor manufacturers for over five years. We have over 4,000 verified Trustpilot reviews from real customers across all 50 states.

- The competitor must be an authorized dealer of the product. Auction sites (eBay, Overstock), discounters, and gray-market resellers do not qualify.
