If you want to protect your head while riding a motorcycle or a bicycle, you reach for the appropriate helmet that is adapted to a specific purpose. And the same applies to combat situations – whether real or those that occur during military exercises. This is where a ballistic helmet is an invaluable piece of equipment.
At Rigad.com, we offer ballistic helmets exclusively from top manufacturers. Also because we consider the head to be the most important part of the body and simply do not want to make any compromises in this area. Ballistic helmets from our assortment can become an integral part of the equipment. Whether you are a soldier on the front lines or "just" a civilian airsoft player who is aware that even during playing you can get hurt.
The primary purpose of ballistic helmets is to protect the wearer from threats that could potentially be implemented directly on the battlefield. At the same time, however, a good ballistic helmet should also effectively integrate information technology. It should be compatible with tactical headsets and/or radios, identification beacons or IFF beacons, night vision devices, thermal cameras or flashlights.
At the same time, the ballistic helmet should remain lightweight enough to accommodate at least a larger part of the above-mentioned equipment and at the same time not "break our necks". In addition, today's ballistic helmets are made from effective composite materials to enhance their protective function and at the same time to achieve the lowest possible weight. Naturally, weight reduction cannot be approached at the expense of safety, so ballistic helmet shells tend to be tested and certified to strict military standards.
When designing ballistic helmets, of course, the comfort of the wearer is also considered, so the inside of the helmet is reinforced with padding and cushions in practically all cases. In addition to some helmets, you can buy a set of additional pads, with others you can adjust the size of the inside of the helmet to the size of your head.
Breathability and cooling, or ventilation of the helmet, are also essential, and not only in the hot months. If you've ever worn full field gear, you know that extremely high temperatures in particular are more or less incompatible with full gear. Some ballistic helmets are therefore designed to make wearing them as easy as possible.
Other accessories include Velcro panels, i.e. panels with velcro, with which not only various patches can be attached to the ballistic helmet, but also a disguise or cover for better camouflage and fitting with other accessories. And then there can be various cords or shockcords for further customization or additional camouflage using wild vegetation.
Furthermore, we can have a rail system, which is highly effective precisely for attaching accessories and other stuff. Many helmets use universal rail systems, others have their own, patented solutions.
