Available in Black and Tan499, in Medium, Large, and X-Large, each configured with a High cut, Viper Front Mount, and Interlocking Long Rails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt on a Generation of ACH Advancement\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Batlskin Viper P4 represents the first significant advancement in Advanced Combat Helmet technology in 15 years. Galvion rebuilt the ACH concept around UHMWPE composite construction, a material choice that allows the shell to meet or exceed U.S. military ballistic, blunt-impact, and blast-fragmentation specifications without carrying the weight penalty of earlier designs. For a wearer spending hours in the field, that difference compounds: less fatigue at the neck and shoulders, more sustained attention on the task.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWeight Reduction Without Protection Trade-Offs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt up to 24% lighter than the legacy U.S. Army ACH, the Viper P4 shell achieves its weight reduction through advanced composite shell technology rather than by thinning coverage or narrowing the protection envelope. The Medium and Large variants come in at 3.92 lb; the X-Large at 4.18 lb. For personnel who wear a helmet through extended operations or training rotations, the reduction in cumulative load matters as much as any single-session comfort feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReady for Accessories Out of the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Viper P4 variant ships with a Viper Front Mount and Interlocking Long Rails already installed. The front mount accepts standard NVG shroud-compatible devices, and the long rails provide continuous mounting surface along the helmet's sides for lights, cameras, and other rail-mounted accessories. No aftermarket hardware or drilling is required for basic accessory integration. The High cut profile keeps the ears clear for communication headsets and hearing protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUHMWPE composite shell:\u003c\/strong\u003e meets and exceeds U.S. military specifications for ballistic threats, blunt impact, and blast fragmentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUp to 24% weight reduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e lighter than the legacy U.S. Army ACH through advanced composite construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh cut profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e preserves ear clearance for communication headsets and hearing protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eViper Front Mount:\u003c\/strong\u003e included; accepts NVG shroud-compatible devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterlocking Long Rails:\u003c\/strong\u003e included; continuous side-rail mounting surface for lights, cameras, and accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst significant ACH advancement in 15 years:\u003c\/strong\u003e purpose-built redesign, not an incremental update\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eMedium (Black)\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eLarge (Black)\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eX-Large (Tan499)\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eKRC-GLV-4-0555-5106\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eKRC-GLV-4-0555-5111\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eKRC-GLV-4-0555-5120\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShell material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUHMWPE composite\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUHMWPE composite\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUHMWPE composite\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCut\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHigh\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHigh\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHigh\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3.92 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3.92 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4.18 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTan499\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIncluded hardware\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eViper Front Mount, Interlocking Long Rails\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eViper Front Mount, Interlocking Long Rails\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eViper Front Mount, Interlocking Long Rails\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eProtection standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"3\"\u003eExceeds U.S. military specifications for ballistic threats, blunt impact, and blast fragmentation.

No specific NIJ certification level or CPL listing number is stated for this helmet. Buyers with a requirement for a confirmed NIJ-certified rating should verify current certification status independently before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow much lighter is the Viper P4 compared to a standard ACH?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Batlskin Viper P4 is up to 24% lighter than the legacy U.S. Army Advanced Combat Helmet, achieved through UHMWPE advanced composite shell construction. The Medium and Large shells weigh 3.92 lb each; the X-Large shell weighs 4.18 lb. Actual weight savings relative to a specific legacy helmet will vary by size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat accessories come included with the Viper P4?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eEvery Batlskin Viper P4 variant includes a Viper Front Mount and Interlocking Long Rails. The front mount is compatible with standard NVG shroud-style devices. The long rails run along the sides of the helmet and accept standard rail-mounted accessories such as lights and cameras. No additional mounting hardware is required for basic accessory integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the High cut profile work with communication headsets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The Batlskin Viper P4's High cut profile is designed to keep the ears clear, which allows the helmet to be worn alongside over-ear communication headsets and hearing protection devices. The cut does not extend down over the ear, so standard tactical comms equipment fits without modification to the helmet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eCan the Viper P4 ship to my state?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Galvion Batlskin Viper P4 is a ballistic helmet and is subject to body armor shipping restrictions. It cannot be shipped to New York or Connecticut due to state body armor laws. It is also subject to U.S. 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","brand":"Galvion","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ Medium \/ High \/ Viper Front Mount and Interlocking Long Rails","offer_id":67031770825075,"sku":"KRC-GLV-4-0555-5106","price":1218.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tan499 \/ X-Large \/ High \/ Viper Front Mount and Interlocking Long Rails","offer_id":67031770857843,"sku":"KRC-GLV-4-0555-5120","price":1218.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ Large \/ High \/ Viper Front Mount and Interlocking Long Rails","offer_id":67031770890611,"sku":"KRC-GLV-4-0555-5111","price":1218.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1926\/7025\/files\/glv-viperp4.png?v=1791013698","url":"https:\/\/bulletproofzone.com\/products\/galvion-batlskin-viper-p4-ballistic-helmet","provider":"Bulletproof Zone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
