The Westminster M-97 Helmet offers protection against bullets and fragments of explosive ammunition, bombs and sharp and cold weapons. The helmet shell is made of composite materials using unique technology.
The shape of the helmet protects the ears from injury and allows the use of microphone and radio-telephone system.
The helmet with a weight of 1500g can withstand V50=580-620 m/s. Using fragmentation simulation: 5.56mm, weight 1.102 +/- 0.02g, the helmet shell offers a ballistic protection level of V50=580-620m/s using MIL STD662.E.
Because of these extraordinary characteristics, high ballistic protection level, light weight, security and comfort of use, the M-97 helmet has become a part of standard equipment for military and police forces. A series of investigations were conducted on the helmet according to STANAG 2920, NIJ 0101.04 and MIL STD 662.E standards. The accuracy and efficiency are guaranteed by the team of experts.
All metal parts are anti-corrosion protected. The helmet is adjusted for combat conditions by preliminary unwinding of side bolts, detaching the visor and applying the camouflage coating for the helmet.
