PGD PASGT Ballistic Helmet

PGD PASGT: low-cut ballistic helmet with NIJ IIIA rating.

The PGD PASGT ballistic helmet is a low-cut Kevlar aramid helmet from Protection Group Denmark, designed according to the manufacturer for both civilian and military use, tested to NIJ 0106.01 against NIJ 0101.06 Level IIIA threats (.44 Magnum and .357 SIG) and rated V50 660 m/s against fragments under STANAG 2920.

• Fragmentation: V50 660 m/s (STANAG 2920)
• Back face deformation: 50% reduction against 9 mm FMJ (HPW-TP-0401.01B IIIA)
• Affected area: Up to 75 mm, versus 130 mm for a standard military helmet according to PGD
• Shell: 100% Kevlar aramid from DuPont with polyurea spray coating
• サイズ L 56-59 cm, XL 60-64 cm head circumference
• 色： Black and OD Green

Ballistic performance:

The PASGT shell is tested to the NIJ 0106.01 helmet standard against NIJ 0101.06 Level IIIA threats: .44 Magnum and .357 SIG. PGD also lists two special threats: 9 x 18 mm MAK steel core (6.0 g) at 335 ± 10 m/s and 7.62 x 25 mm FMJ (5.5 g, lead core) at 520 ± 10 m/s. Against fragments the helmet reaches a V50 of 660 m/s under STANAG 2920. PGD also states a 50% reduction in back face deformation against 9 mm FMJ, measured to HPW-TP-0401.01B IIIA, and an affected area of up to 75 mm, compared with a 130 mm area on a standard military helmet.

Shell, liner and fit:

The low-cut shell is made of 100% Kevlar aramid from DuPont and finished with polyurea spray paint, which PGD says keeps water and other liquids from affecting the ballistic properties. Inside sits the PGD 10-pad memory foam liner, and the helmet is held in place by the PGD retention system. The PASGT comes in size L (56-59 cm) and XL (60-64 cm) in Black or OD Green.

PASGT or MICH2000:

Both helmets share the same NIJ 0106.01 rating and a V50 of 660 m/s. The difference is the shape: PGD states that the PASGT leaves no space for communication equipment under the helmet, whereas the MICH2000 is designed to fit headsets underneath. Choose the MICH2000 if you wear a comms headset.

What is included:

PGD lists the low-cut ballistic helmet, the PGD retention system and the PGD 10-pad helmet liner as included, together with Velcro patches on the shell.
