Product Overview
The Striker ACHHC is the high-cut configuration of Chase Tactical's flagship Advanced Combat Helmet line — the most widely used ballistic helmet form factor among contemporary U.S. law enforcement tactical units and military special operations forces. The high-cut profile removes the bulk behind and above the ears found in older PASGT and standard-cut ACH designs, enabling unobstructed use of over-the-ear hearing protection, active comms headsets, and secure-fit ear protection systems standard in breaching, CQB, and tactical operations.
Protection is delivered by a multi-layered Kevlar® fiber and thermoset resin shell, tested and verified to meet or exceed NIJ Standard 0106.01 — the applicable NIJ standard for ballistic helmets — by an NVLAP-accredited laboratory. The helmet has demonstrated the capability to stop 9mm FMJ (1,400 ft/s), .357 Magnum JSP (1,395 ft/s), and .44 Magnum SJHP (1,400 ft/s) without complete penetration. The shell is additionally MIL-STD 662F tested for fragmentation resistance, critical for personnel operating where secondary fragmentation is a threat.
The interior uses the D3O TRUST 7-point ACH pad system. D3O is a rate-sensitive material that stays flexible at low stress and stiffens on impact to absorb and distribute energy; the 7-pad layout provides full crown contact and reduces blunt-impact energy transfer that can accompany even a stopped ballistic event. A four-point chin harness with leather-lined chin strap and nape pad secures the helmet during dynamic movement.
