Protection Group Danmark have applied a layer of polyrea spray paint around the entire helmet, ensuring that your ballistic helmet can withstand rain, oil and similar liquids. This strengthens your ballistic helmet and allows it to last for many years without the painting or the ballistic properties fading.
The harness of the ARCH helmet consist of our 10-soft padding system, made of high quality memory foam. The padding protects you from blunt force trauma impacts and falling objects.
The helmet can be adjusted with the 4 point retention system, that allows you a perfect fit with the supporting nape pad.
The Liner system inside the helmet consists of 10 Memory Foam Pads, consisting of specially developed foam technology that not only makes the helmet comfortable to wear but also so that the blunt force trauma from bullet impacts is reduced. The Memory Foam pads are attached with Velcro and can easily be replaced with other suspension/padding systems.
The ​​ARCH helmet also comes with our PGD buckle system, which uses high-quality materials from BOA, ITW Nexus and Duraflex. The BOA Fit buckle system fastens the helmet to the head and can be quickly adjusted via the rotary knob. BOA provides a performance fit at the highest possible level!
In addition the retention system is adjusted with the 4 Duraflex plastic buckles so that they have the correct length for your head.
