Body armor including ballistic helmets cannot be shipped to New York or Connecticut due to state restrictions. 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. The helmet is also subject to US export regulations for international orders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does NIJ Level IIIA+ mean and what does this helmet stop?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIIIA+ exceeds the NIJ IIIA standard, which covers the full handgun threat range up to .44 Magnum. The \"+\" designation means testing extended beyond that baseline — in this case including .50 AE JHP at 350 gr, 7.62x25mm Tokarev with steel jacket, and 5.7x28mm in both SS195 and Hornady Blue Tip loadings. The tested round list above details every caliber and projectile weight documented in testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this helmet stop rifle rounds?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. No wearable ballistic helmet currently achieves rifle-rated (RF3 \/ Level IV equivalent) protection. This helmet addresses handgun calibers, shotgun projectiles, and low-velocity fragmentation threats. The HOSDB RF1 designation covers fragmentation resistance only — not high-velocity rifle fire. For any application involving rifle threats, a separate hard armor plate system is required for torso protection; head protection at rifle threat levels is not currently achievable in a wearable form factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I select the correct size?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure head circumference starting above the brow line with a flexible tape. Heads measuring 20–23 inches (50–59 cm) fit the S\/M\/L size; heads measuring 22–27 inches (57–69 cm) fit the L\/XL\/XXL size. There is overlap at 22–23 inches — if you fall in that range, the ratcheting headband and padding adjustability in either size can typically accommodate the fit. Contact us if you have questions about fit before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this helmet accept NVG mounts and standard rail accessories?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The helmet ships with a color-matched NVG shroud already installed and an ARC-to-Picatinny adapter in the box. The ARC rail system uses standard configurations, so existing accessories sized for mil-spec combat helmet platforms — lights, cameras, counterweights, mandible guards — mount directly without proprietary adapters. The bungees are self-holding and integrated into the ARC rail channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between this helmet and a bump helmet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA ballistic helmet uses an aramid or composite shell engineered to resist ballistic threats. A bump helmet uses a non-ballistic polymer shell that protects against impacts — falls, debris contact — but offers no protection against bullets or fragmentation. This FAST High-Cut is a ballistic helmet rated to IIIA+. If your use case involves firearms threats or fragmentation, a ballistic helmet is the correct choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the helmet come with a ballistic visor or communications headset?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The package includes the helmet, harness system, NVG shroud, ARC rail system with bungees, interior padding sets, and an ARC-to-Picatinny adapter. Ballistic visors and communications headsets are sold separately.

Interior foam padding covers the forehead, temples, cheekbones, and cheeks, keeping the wearer's face away from the mask surface during bullet impacts and absorbing trauma energy to reduce blunt-force injury. The paint and outer fabric resist water, fire, and dust. Anti-reflective construction prevents light glare from reflecting off the mask surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSuspension and retention\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix-point adjustable elastic straps secure the mask to the head.

The padding placement and spacing from the face create a fit that accommodates the full range of adult face sizes and shapes. Thin-framed or frameless eyeglasses fit under the mask.

The IIIA+ designation means these plates exceed that base requirement, adding resistance to additional ballistic threats beyond the standard, along with spike and stabbing protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill these plates stop rifle rounds?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. These plates are rated for handgun and shotgun threats only. They will not stop rifle rounds, including 5.56x45 or 7.62x39. If rifle-threat protection is a requirement, a Level III, III+, or Level IV hard plate is the appropriate choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow are these plates tested?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than the single-shot protocol NIJ minimum requires, each design is tested with multiple rounds from multiple calibers — .22, .380, 9mm, .40 S\u0026amp;W, .38 Special, .45 ACP, and .44 Magnum — at the Atomic Defense testing center in Fresno, California. Each individual plate ships with a QR-coded label linked to its certification sheet showing round types, test angles, back-face deformation measurements, and distances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long do these plates last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith proper care, the expected service life is 5 to 7 years. Replace a plate immediately after it stops any bullet strike — the ballistic structure is compromised after impact regardless of external appearance. Wipe clean with a damp cloth; avoid soaking or harsh chemicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these plates unisex? What sizes are available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The plates are designed to accommodate different body types and sizes. Two sizes are available: 10x12 in and 11x14 in. The ergonomic curvature and ESAPI Shooter's Free Cut apply to both sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan these plates be shipped to my state?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese plates cannot be shipped to New York or Connecticut due to state body armor restrictions. All orders are 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Atomic Defense","offers":[{"title":"USA MIL Medium IIIA Armor (10x12 inch plate) \/ Hard (Non-Flexible with PEAD Coating) \/ 1 Plate","offer_id":41745866162347,"sku":"","price":219.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"USA MIL Medium IIIA Armor (10x12 inch plate) \/ Hard (Non-Flexible with PEAD Coating) \/ Set of 2 Plates","offer_id":41745866195115,"sku":"","price":359.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"USA MIL Medium IIIA Armor (10x12 inch plate) \/ Soft (Flexible with Mil-Spec Fabric) \/ 1 Plate","offer_id":41745866227883,"sku":"","price":194.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"USA MIL Medium IIIA Armor (10x12 inch plate) \/ Soft (Flexible with Mil-Spec Fabric) \/ Set of 2 Plates","offer_id":41745866260651,"sku":"","price":309.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"USA MIL Large IIIA Armor (11x14 inch plate) \/ Hard (Non-Flexible with PEAD Coating) \/ 1 Plate","offer_id":41745866293419,"sku":"","price":239.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"USA MIL Large IIIA Armor (11x14 inch plate) \/ Hard (Non-Flexible with PEAD Coating) \/ Set of 2 Plates","offer_id":41745866326187,"sku":"","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"USA MIL Large IIIA Armor (11x14 inch plate) \/ Soft (Flexible with Mil-Spec Fabric) \/ 1 Plate","offer_id":41745866358955,"sku":"","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"USA MIL Large IIIA Armor (11x14 inch plate) \/ Soft (Flexible with Mil-Spec Fabric) \/ Set of 2 Plates","offer_id":41745866391723,"sku":"","price":359.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1926\/7025\/files\/image-01_8cda33bd-f380-4497-8ef0-0f2b11954ad6.jpg?v=1779850873"},{"product_id":"atomic-defense-bulletproof-backpack-for-kids","title":"Atomic Defense Bulletproof Backpack for Kids NIJ IIIA \/ III+ Ballistic Backpack","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"rte\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Atomic Defense Bulletproof Backpack for Kids is a Vaschy-shell backpack fitted with a removable ballistic insert, available in NIJ IIIA, Level III+, and Level III+ Lightweight protection levels.

Defense CQCM NIJ IIIA+ Full Face Bulletproof Mask","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"rte\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Atomic Defense CQCM (Close Quarter Combat Mask) is a full-face ballistic mask rated to NIJ Level IIIA+, designed to protect the entire face — from below the chin to the top of the forehead — against handgun rounds, shotgun loads, and bladed weapons in close-quarters situations. Built from high-density polyethylene (PEAD) fabric with interior foam padding across the forehead, temples, cheekbones, and cheeks, the mask weighs 2 lbs (0.9 kg) and fits in a single one-size-fits-all configuration. It ships in black and includes a five-point adjustable strap system and a drawstring storage bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho this is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClose-quarters personnel:\u003c\/strong\u003e anyone who needs facial ballistic protection in confined environments where a full helmet is impractical or too cumbersome\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelmet-free setups:\u003c\/strong\u003e users who do not wear other headgear and need a standalone full-face ballistic option that extends above the forehead\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlasses wearers:\u003c\/strong\u003e thin-framed or frameless eyeglass users who require a mask that accommodates corrective lenses without modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThreat rating and standard\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CQCM mask meets and surpasses NIJ Level IIIA requirements under NIJ Standard 0106.01 and also complies with NIJ Level IIIA under Standard 0101.06. The IIIA+ designation reflects performance that exceeds the baseline IIIA requirements. Rounds the mask stops include 9mm FMJ, .45 ACP, .44 Magnum, .22 LR, .380 ACP, .38 Special, 10mm, 12-gauge, and 12-gauge buckshot. The mask does not provide rifle-level protection — it is rated for handgun and shotgun threats only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach mask is tested against multiple firearm rounds using various types of ammunition before leaving the facility. The mask can withstand multiple rounds without perforation or trauma per NIJ IIIA certification standards. The PEAD construction is also stab-resistant at certain levels, providing an additional margin in close-quarters scenarios where edged weapons are a threat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eShell material and construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mask shell is formed from high-density polyethylene (PEAD) fabric — the same polyethylene-based ballistic material class used in soft armor panels — shaped to contour the full face. The material slightly wraps around the sides of the head for extended lateral coverage. Paint and fabric coatings resist water, fire, and dust. An anti-reflective exterior finish prevents light glare from compromising concealment. The interior foam cushions skin and bone while absorbing impact trauma to reduce injury from bullet strikes that do not penetrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSuspension and retention\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix-point adjustable elastic straps secure the mask to the head. Atomic Defense uses an upgraded Everlasting-elastic strap system engineered to hold tension through thousands of donning cycles without loosening. Padding runs across the entire forehead, temples, cheekbones, and cheeks, maintaining spacing between the face and the mask shell. That gap serves dual duty: it cushions impact energy and creates airflow that prevents heat buildup and fogging — a feature Atomic Defense calls Easy Breathe Technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eField of view and comfort\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard human horizontal field of view runs approximately 120 degrees. The CQCM reduces that to 100–110 degrees, which exceeds the 90-degree industry standard for ballistic face masks. The PEAD fabric flexes to shape against any face geometry, and the one-size-fits-all fit has accommodated the full range of face shapes across thousands of units sold. Thin-framed or frameless glasses fit beneath the mask without modification. The Easy Breathe spacing gap eliminates the fogged-lens and heat-accumulation problems common to sealed face masks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"quick-answer\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard:\u003c\/strong\u003e NIJ Level IIIA+ — meets and surpasses NIJ 0106.01 and 0101.06 Level IIIA requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 lbs \/ 0.9 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e One-size-fits-all; full-face coverage from chin to forehead\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-density polyethylene (PEAD) fabric with interior foam padding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap system:\u003c\/strong\u003e Six-point adjustable Everlasting-elastic straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eField of view:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100–110 degrees horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreat coverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9mm FMJ, .45 ACP, .44 Magnum, .22 LR, .380, .38, 10mm, 12-gauge, 12-gauge buckshot\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStab resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, at certain levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater\/fire\/dust resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — paint and fabric coatings applied\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnti-reflective finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIn the box:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-face ballistic mask with padding and straps; drawstring storage bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lifetime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan this mask be shipped to my state?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mask cannot be shipped to New York or Connecticut due to state body armor restrictions. 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. Subject to U.S. export regulations for international orders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does NIJ Level IIIA+ mean and what rounds does this stop?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNIJ Level IIIA is a handgun-threat protection standard. The IIIA+ designation indicates performance that exceeds standard IIIA requirements. This mask stops 9mm FMJ, .45 ACP, .44 Magnum, .22 LR, .380, .38 Special, 10mm, 12-gauge, and 12-gauge buckshot. It does not stop rifle-caliber rounds such as 5.56x45 or 7.62x39.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this mask stop rifle rounds?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The CQCM is rated to NIJ Level IIIA+ for handgun and shotgun threats only. Rifle-caliber rounds exceed its protective capacity. For rifle-level facial protection, a ballistic visor rated to a higher standard paired with a rifle-rated helmet would be required — though no current wearable full-face mask achieves rifle-level protection in a comfortable configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this mask fit with a helmet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis full-face mask is designed for use without a combat helmet. Because it extends above the forehead, it works best as a standalone facial protection solution. For users who wear a helmet, the half-face mask option pairs better with headgear. If you are unsure which configuration suits your setup, contact us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan my glasses fit under the mask?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Thin-framed or frameless glasses fit beneath the mask without modification. Thicker or larger frames may not clear the interior padding. If your frames are on the larger side, contact us before ordering to confirm fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo bulletproof masks actually work, and will my face still get hurt if struck?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mask stops bullet penetration, but high-caliber impacts transfer significant energy through the shell and into the face. Interior foam padding cushions skin and bone while absorbing impact trauma to reduce — not eliminate — injury. The mask covers from below the chin to the top of the forehead, stopping or deflecting rounds with minimal damage at rated threat levels. It tests against multiple rounds per unit before shipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Atomic Defense","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44085245870251,"sku":"ATM-BFFFM-IIIA","price":439.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1926\/7025\/files\/image-01_66fe038d-0690-4a97-8567-917696b6fdb4.jpg?v=1779854848"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1926\/7025\/collections\/atomic-defence.png?v=1758687982","url":"https:\/\/bulletproofzone.com\/collections\/atomic-defense\/autooptimized.oembed","provider":"Bulletproof Zone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
