Frequently Asked Questions

What Makes the Helmets Different From the Competition?

The MICH and FAST helmets offer IIIA+ ballistic protection — a level above and beyond competing helmets. These helmets include other unique features like adjustable interior padding, all-weather paint, a four-rail mount system, leather chin straps, and more. 

Does the Visor Affect Visibility?

The visor is completely clear by design. Plus, we make sure each visor is free of bubbles or other imperfections during manufacturing. 

Is the Visor Adjustable?

The visor features three adjustment points. Set it either straight ahead for optimal bullet-blocking, halfway up, or directly overhead. The mounting bracket features multi-way adjustability to change how close it is to the wearer’s face. 

How Does the Visor Stop Bullets? 

The multi-layered polycarbonate material absorbs the impact to stop the bullet. 

Does the Package Include Everything You Need to Attach the Visor?

The helmet features pre-attached brackets and ARC mounting system that is ready to hold the IIIA visor. The visor comes with mounting brackets attached that slide into the helmet’s ARC rails and lock into place.

NIJ Level IIIA

Count on Atomic Defense for full-face bulletproof helmets that meet and exceed NIJ standards. We test each helmet and visor at our in-house facility in Fresno, California, and with independent NIJ lab tests. These tests surpass the requirements which the National Institute of Justice sets (NIJ). There are separate standards for bulletproof helmets and face shields, which follow body armor guidelines. 

NIJ standard 0106.01 has four categories for helmets. Level IIIA is the top helmet class while IIA is the last mentioned in the NIJ 0106.01 standard, so all Atomic Defense helmets are tested beyond the maximum NIJ standard for bulletproof helmets. The NIJ’s performance requirements for helmets and visors are as follows: 

• IIIA MICH or FAST helmet: Helmets must resist four .357 Magnum JSP and four 9 mm FMJ. Our helmets are also tested to withstand shots from .50 cal and .44 Magnum rounds. 
• IIIA face shield: In this level, face shields must withstand at least four hits each from .357 Magnum JSP and 9 mm FMJ. Our face shields are also tested to withstand shots from .50 cal and .44 Magnum.

We’re proud to fire additional rounds into each component to ensure protection beyond NIJ standards, making our gear some of the safest on the market.  

MICH Versus FAST Helmets — Which Is Right for You? 

Our bulletproof helmets with face shields are available in two helmet styles. The Modular Integrated Communications Helmet (MICH) extends past the ear to prioritize coverage. The Future Assault Shell Technology (FAST) helmet is an over-the-ear (High-cut) style for maximum attachment compatibility. Both helmet options offer NIJ Level IIIA protection. An Atomic Defense representative would be happy to help you determine the best model for your situation.

Why Choose a Helmet With a Visor? 

Full-face bulletproof helmets are a great choice in dangerous situations. Choose a bulletproof helmet with a face shield when you want versatile protection, constant comfort, and complete visibility. There are a few different reasons to choose a helmet and visor: 

• Our helmets provide overhead protection and face coverage through one of the strongest bulletproof materials available. We carry multiple versions, each offering NIJ level IIIA ballistic resistance for the head and face.
• Both the helmet and facial visor include features that optimize comfort. Set the lightweight helmet’s padding so its soft padding fits comfortably on your head after hours of wear. 
• Each helmet includes an ARC rail system that makes installing, adjusting, and removing the transparent visor easy. Position the visitor at any point to see normally.
• This helmet-mounted visor will not fog up and will never restrict your breathing.
