F6 TAC 2 NIJ IIIA HELMET


 

Introduction

This is a specialised helmet for the modern combat soldier / Police user. It utilises the excellent
performance of aramid, bound in a thermoplastic resin matrix using unique process technology.
This is the key to achieving an excellent performance to weight ratio. The TAC II Helmet can be
worn for extensive periods of time, even in adverse conditions, with superior comfort.

The improved harness system not only improves comfort, balance and stress fatigue.

It is a 2 size helmet and available in different ballistic protection levels.

It is tough, durable and reliable and reflects state of the art design, materials and process technology.

Design

It is manufactured using the latest specification aramid fibre, bound in a thermoplastic resin matrix.
The unique process ensures a homogeneous, resilient structure ideally suited for ballistic applications.

The helmet has a smooth conformal shape with no protrusions, sharp contour changes or snagging
hazards. It is of low bulk and mass.

The edge is covered with a low profile neoprene rubber extrusion, which provides a forgiving and
neat finish. The hard sharp edge of the helmet moulding can soon look untidy with the day to day
knocks and bumps of service life. Also, it can cause damage to other less durable items.
The rubber edge trim prevents this from happening.

The helmet is fitted with a fully adjustable harness system that can be released and removed in just a
few minutes by unfastening 5 screws.

A comfort pad is fitted at the brow. This is covered with leather for perspiration absorption and
comfort. It features a low section for maximum compatibility with sighting systems.

The harness is a four-strap system with full adjustment for wearing height. It features a crown pad for
comfort. The Harness also absorbs shock in excess of the standards laid down in EN 397.

The nape pad is fully adjustable to accommodate a variety of head lengths. This also provides added
security of fit, resisting roll off during periods of high activity.

A three-point chinstrap provides optimum retention. It incorporates sufficient adjustment to allow for
gas masks and a large variety of head shapes and sizes. The adjusters are quick and easy to operate.
A chincup is integral with the chinstrap and is fitted with an easy clean plastic chin cup.

The chinstrap features a press stud fastener for simplicity and reliability.
