Army PASGT Helmet
The Army PASGT Helmet is a full-cut ballistic helmet designed to protect the head against fragments, shrapnel and other ballistic threats. PASGT stands for Personal Armor System for Ground Troops, a US design. We make it in China for military, police and special force buyers and ship it worldwide.
How the Army PASGT Helmet is built
The classic PASGT shape has a deep shell with a small front brim and a low back and sides. That covers more of the ears and neck than later cut-down helmets. The maker states the helmet is made in line with NIJ and DOD ballistic standards and aims for a low back face signature (BFS), which is the dent the inside of the shell makes when a round is stopped.
The specification table below marks some values as typical for this helmet type. We confirm these for your order before production:
- Shell: usually an aramid (Kevlar-type) composite or high-density polyethylene
- Retention: typically a four-point chin strap with a padded suspension liner
- Protection: often NIJ IIIA-equivalent for fragments and handgun rounds, based on the model
Understanding NIJ levels
NIJ levels are set by the US Department of Justice. The NIJ body armor standards explain how armour is tested and rated. A tender may name a level, a V50 value or a BFS limit, and we will tell you which test papers we can supply for that model and which need separate checks.
PASGT or a newer cut?
The PASGT gives wide coverage, which many forces still prefer for general issue. Teams that wear headsets or shoot from the prone position often pick the army MICH helmet instead, since its trimmed edges leave more room. Our army ballistic PASGT helmet is a close sibling if you want to compare builds.
Tender and export supply
Buyers usually ask us to confirm the size range, colour, weight and cover before we quote. We recommend sending the tender clause and delivery date so we can match the build and schedule. We ship from China to Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and more, on EXW, FOB, CFR or CIF terms with full export papers. Browse the rest of our army ballistic helmets and equipment.
