CaskDefence Tactical Helmets: Setting the standard for advanced ballistic and fragmentation protection. Our helmets ensure operator safety and mission success through cutting-edge material science, superior ergonomic design, and adherence to stringent international standards. Each helmet leverages our expertise in Woven Kevlar® fabric and precision manufacturing.
CaskDefence's tactical helmet systems, including our premier 'Aegis Series' (Level III/IIIA) and 'Centurion Line' (Level IV & specialized threats), are meticulously designed to provide superior multi-threat protection and enhanced operational functionality. They are a critical component for operator safety, enhancing survivability and mission effectiveness in high-threat, dynamic environments across military, law enforcement, and special operations roles. Our helmets directly benefit from our in-house production of high-grade Woven Kevlar® fabric, ensuring optimal material synergy and performance.
Our helmets meet and exceed rigorous NATO STANAG 2920 (V50 testing for fragmentation resistance against 1.1g FSP and other fragment types, achieving V50 values often exceeding 670-750 m/s) and NIJ Standard 0106.01 (ballistic performance against handgun threats, Level IIIA). Specialized models are designed to meet threats commonly addressed by NIJ Level III/IV (rifle threats) through advanced construction. This ensures verified protection against specified handgun and rifle projectiles, as well as Fragment Simulating Projectiles (FSPs). Available in various head circumference sizes (Small to X-Large, covering ranges from 52cm to 64cm+) for proper, secure fit and optimal protection coverage.
Constructed using cutting-edge materials like CaskDefence's own premium Woven Kevlar® fabric (e.g., KM2 Plus equivalent), other advanced para-aramid fibers (Twaron®), Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE, e.g., Dyneema® HB series), and proprietary hybrid composite laminates. Precision thermoforming, high-pressure compression molding, and controlled autoclave curing processes ensure consistent high ballistic performance, structural integrity, shell uniformity, and durability with minimal weight (shell thickness typically 8-12mm for Level IIIA). Material placement and fiber orientation are optimized using advanced ballistic modeling for maximum energy absorption.
Designed for comprehensive protection against ballistic threats, high-velocity fragmentation, and blunt impact trauma (meeting ACH/ECH impact attenuation requirements). Our helmets feature exceptional modularity and compatibility with standard tactical accessories via industry-standard Accessory Rail Connectors (ARC), robust NVG/NOD shrouds (Wilcox®, Norotos compatible), and strategically placed Velcro® loop panels for seamless integration of communication headsets, lights, cameras, strobes, and counterweights. This modularity ensures adaptability across diverse operational needs, from urban warfare to extended field operations.
CaskDefence tactical helmets are engineered for reliability and performance across a wide spectrum of demanding operational environments and roles, providing critical head protection where it matters most.
Essential for infantry, special operations forces (SOF), vehicle crews, and airborne units. High-cut models allow seamless integration with communication systems and hearing protection, vital for coordinated team movements in complex combat scenarios (urban, jungle, desert). Full-cut variants offer maximum coverage against fragmentation in high-threat environments like artillery barrages or IED-prone areas. Provides protection during dismounted patrols, direct action missions, and vehicle-based operations.
Critical gear for Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams, riot control units, and patrol officers in high-risk situations. Offers protection against handgun threats, shotgun pellets, and blunt force impacts during dynamic entries, hostage rescue operations, and public order events. Modularity allows attachment of face shields, tactical lights, and recording devices essential for LE roles. Performance in urban environments, including close-quarters battle (CQB), is a key design consideration.
Provides vital head protection for VIP protection teams and private security contractors operating in potentially hostile environments. Lightweight design and comfort are paramount for extended wear, while maintaining a discreet yet protective posture. Helmets can be customized with low-profile accessories to suit specific mission needs without drawing undue attention.
Specialized variants with corrosion-resistant hardware and buoyancy considerations (when paired with life vests) are suitable for naval special warfare, coast guard, and shipboard security teams. Aviation crews benefit from lightweight helmets that integrate with flight communication systems and oxygen masks, providing protection against shrapnel or impacts within the aircraft. Performance in salt-spray environments and compatibility with other maritime/aviation gear are key.
Offers protection against falling debris, impacts, and other hazards encountered by SAR teams and emergency responders in natural disaster zones or complex rescue scenarios. The modularity allows for attachment of lights and cameras crucial for these operations, even in low-visibility or confined spaces.
Durable construction withstands the rigors of repeated use in realistic training exercises, including force-on-force scenarios (when used with appropriate eye protection). Allows personnel to train as they fight, building familiarity with their protective equipment and attached accessories. Non-ballistic training versions are also available.

Our helmets offer multi-threat defense: robust ballistic protection against a range of handgun rounds based on NIJ 0106.01 Type IIIA (e.g., 9mm FMJ, .357 SIG, .44 Magnum) and specific rifle rounds depending on the model (e.g., Level III/IV variants designed to defeat threats like 7.62x39mm MSC or 7.62x51mm M80 NATO Ball). Exceptional fragmentation resistance is a key focus, with verified V50 values typically exceeding 670-750 m/s for 1.1g FSP (STANAG 2920). Significant head impact energy management meets or exceeds ACH/ECH blunt impact attenuation requirements (peak acceleration <150G at 10 ft/s impacts), vital for surviving IED blasts or falls. This performance is achieved through careful material selection, including our own Woven Kevlar® fabric, and precision manufacturing.
We offer High Cut (ACH/FAST style), Mid Cut, and Full Cut (PASGT style) shells. A comprehensive sizing range (Small to X-Large, 52cm-64cm+ head circumference) ensures proper fit. Advanced 4-point or 5-point adjustable harness systems (e.g., dial-adjustable nape straps, X-Nape® systems) and multi-layered, impact-absorbing padding systems (EPP, D3O® memory foam) provide superior stability, comfort, and customized fit. Customization options include shell color/camouflage, ARC rails, shroud models, and insignia application, potentially handled by our Special Design Unit for unique requirements.
Engineered for lightweight performance (e.g., medium Level IIIA High Cut shell approx. 1.2-1.5 kg) to reduce operator neck strain. Advanced suspension and padding systems offer comfort, stability, and ventilation. Standard modular features include high-strength ARC rails, robust NVG/NOD shrouds, and extensive Velcro® loop panels for counterweights, battery packs, IR strobes, and IFF patches, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of tactical accessories and communication systems.
Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certified QMS. Each lot undergoes stringent QC: raw material inspection (including our Woven Kevlar® fabric), shell manufacturing process control, dimensional checks, weight confirmation, and destructive ballistic testing (V0/V50, BFD) at certified independent labs or our in-house range per STANAG 2920 and NIJ standards. Full traceability is maintained. Helmets are also tested for environmental resistance (MIL-STD-810G equivalent).
