Product Overview
The Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) design standard replaced the older PASGT pattern in the early 2000s with improved ballistic protection, reduced weight, and expanded accessory compatibility. Chase Tactical's Striker ACH carries this proven design forward with current-generation Kevlar® composite construction and an enhanced interior comfort system suited equally to law enforcement tactical teams and military personnel.
The standard-cut ACH profile provides full side coverage including the temporal region — a protection zone reduced in high-cut configurations. For personnel who do not routinely run over-the-ear communications, the standard cut delivers superior lateral ballistic coverage while still accommodating standard hearing protection ear cups. It is well suited to patrol-level tactical units, corrections emergency response teams (CERT), and civil-unrest response units that need robust all-around head protection.
NIJ Standard 0106.01 testing requires the helmet to defeat 9mm FMJ Round Nose (124 gr at 1,400 ft/s), .357 Magnum JSP (158 gr at 1,395 ft/s), and .44 Magnum SJHP (240 gr at 1,400 ft/s) without complete penetration. The shell meets these requirements as confirmed by an NVLAP-accredited ballistic testing laboratory. The D3O 7-point pad system reduces blunt-impact energy transfer — relevant because a stopped ballistic round still transfers significant kinetic energy to the wearer.
