Lightweight and modular, it provides the ideal bump helmet for various applications such as, Search and Rescue (SAR), Tactical Training, Hunting and Recreational Sports. This lightweight helmet weighs in at 1.4 lbs! Manufactured from a Polycarbonate blend the helmet offers blunt impact protection that far exceeds impact requirements not only for EN 1385: 2012, but also for AR/PD 10-02.

Our bump helmet is an essential piece of equipment for military members, law enforcement officers, EMS, and anyone else looking for a lightweight protective helmet that doesn't need the extra weight or protection from our ballistic helmets.

Easy NVG mounting to our ATE bump is accomplished with our A3S shroud that works with the majority of night vision mounts on the market. Making the ATE BUMP helmet the ideal night vision helmet platform.

Excellent way to virtue signal at work.

I have to wear a hard hat at work so the ATE bump fits the bill perfectly. I find it much better than a regular hard hat and makes attaching lights and cameras to it much easier.

Good quality, but hard to size.

The helmet is good quality, but I’ve spent several hours trying to adjust the inside padding and straps to make it fit comfortably and still haven’t had success. It would be nice if the size you measure yourself for and buy fit right when you received it.

Hi Charles, are you layering the pads by chance like in the video? Please shoot us a few photos of what you have going on and we can help you out!

Tactical Helmet ATE® Bump

Good bump helmet

Bump helmet good for the price even though I think all tactical gear is over priced. But relatively speaking well priced. Struggled to get the fit right but played with the padding a little and it fits great. Utilized some thick and some thin pads to get the fit. Like the magnet buckle but chin strap is a little weird feeling. Overall pleased.

Proper Fit

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEAD

Start by wrapping a measuring tape around the circumference of your head, just above your ears and eyebrows. Where the tape overlaps is your measurement.
No measuring tape? No problem! Use a piece of string to mark the overlap, then measure the string.
Use the size chart to find where your optimal tactical helmet size should be.
Also, don't worry if you choose the wrong size. We offer an easy exchange policy!

Helmet Sizes

If You Are Between Helmet Sizes, Choose The Larger Size. Every head is different, so we include two different size pad sets for you to achieve the ideal fit.

Size Chart

SIZE	CIRCUMFERENCE
M / L	20 1/4" - 23 1/2"
L / XL	23 1/2" - 24 3/4"

M-LOK Tactical Helmet Accessory Rails

Utilizing the MAGPUL M-LOK® SYSTEM on tactical helmet rails have allowed us to reduce the overall profile of the ballistic helmet dramatically. This reduction in helmet profile translates into less of a risk of snagging in confined spaces or on parachute risers. It also gives the user enhanced modularity with accessory options, and fewer adapters to deal with. Look below to learn how the M-LOK mounting system works with our ballistic helmet and some of the most common rail accessories used.

How M-LOK® Mounting Works

Direct Mount Capability

Accessories are mountable directly from the front face of the slot. No access from the rear of the system is needed.

Cammed T-NUT The M-LOK

Direct attachment system features a custom, cammed T-Nut that positions the T-Nut consistently for installation and removal. Simply adjust the gap between the T-Nut and accessory to match the thickness of the mounting surface, align the T-Nuts with the slot, and insert in the desired location. An initial ¼ to ½ turn of the screw for each T-Nut rotates the nut into engagement and then you may tighten normally.

Quick Tip: Pre-Adjust the M-LOK nut to the correct depth thickness before installing onto the helmet mounted rail!

COMMON Helmet Rail ACCESSORIES

1913 Picatinny Rails:

The polymer rails from MAGPUL with 3, 5, 7, and 9 slots will all fit on our ATE GEN2 tactical helmet rails in various configurations. Just about any tactical accessory is designed to work with these Picatinny rails. You can buy these rails directly from MAGPUL. We also have our own Rotatable M-LOK Picatinny Rail for sale!

Lights

Tactical helmet lights are one of the most common additions to our ATE ballistic helmets. They come for just about every application from IR and red light, to super bright. Utilizing a standard 1913 Picatinny rail on the M-LOK system, you can mount any of them. More and more companies such as Surefire are including M-LOK mounts as well that will work directly with our ballistic helmet. Check out this blog on tactical helmet lights for more info!

Headset Adapters

Allow users to attach their communications headsets such as Peltor headsets or MSA Sordin headsets directly to the tactical helmet rail itself. For our M-LOK rails check out our RAK system if you want to mount comms directly our rails. Not sure on which helmet headset would work best for you? Check out our Tactical Headset Guide!

Cameras

Ballistic Helmet mounted video cameras also know as helmet cams have become prevalent for the enthusiast, police, and military. They allow for detailed after action reviews and reports, be it for training, evidence, or combat. You will find the most common ones in use in this blog post!

Ballistic Helmet Accessories Weights

It's easy to do, you think you may need all of these accessories, but do not forget that each one can add ounces to even lbs.

A3S SHROUD (ADAPTIVE 3-HOLE SHROUD)

Our A3S shroud is manufactured out of aircraft grade aluminum and weighs less than the majority of shrouds on the market. Each helmet includes bungees to help with night vision goggle wobble, and these conveniently connect to the bottom of our A3S shroud when not in use. This can also be used to lanyard in night vision goggles and other gear. It's designed to be compatible with most standardized NVG mounts from Wilcox to Norotos. It's a tank of a shroud without all the weight!

A3S Shroud COMPATABILITY

Designed For Compatibility:

The A3S Shroud works with the most common NVG mounts. Such as the Wilcox L4 series, or Norotos RHINO's along with many others. If you want to learn more about the different types of NVG mounts, we have an in-depth guide!

Shroud Tips And Maintenance

Fitment:

The fitment between the shroud and mount should be secure with minimal wiggle. Mount should not pop off when force is applied unless released. Most new mounts also come with a break-away feature that when engaged, will allow the mount to pop off the shroud when force is applied. Make sure to test your mount and shroud connection.

Pro Tip: If your mount has a tiny bit of wiggle, you can add a small silicone bead or even electrical tape anywhere on the back surface of a shroud or mount to eliminate this.

INITIAL IMPACT PAD SYSTEM

Our Initial Impact pad system is a 2 part system designed not only to protect you from ballistic and blunt impacts but provide you with optimal comfort as well. We include two sizes of different thickness comfort pads with each ballistic helmet we sell, in addition to the Initial Impact base layer. This system is designed to be layered. Click the tabs below to learn about each layer and how they can benefit you.

INITIAL IMPACT Layer

The padding on a helmet is just as important as the shell when it comes to protection performance. Detailed studies have shown that the best performing pads when it comes to ballistic and blunt impact are those that are not too hard, but also not too soft. This is precisely what our impact layer is designed for, utilizing a specially designed closed cell foam, in combination with our comfort layers, we can achieve extremely low Blunt Impact Uni-Axial impact numbers in addition to low back face deformation numbers.

Comfort Pad Layer

Our comfort pads provide additional protection, but just as important, long-term comfort. They are designed using a proprietary open cell memory foam that conforms to your head shape. Each head is different, and that is why we also include two different sized pad sets of our comfort plus pads. This allows you to mix and match these re-positionable pads to achieve your ideal fit. If you have ever worn a standard MICH, ACH, or ECH you know just how uncomfortable they can be. Hot spots, headaches, and fatigue set in, even after short periods of use. Our Comfort Pads eliminate these issues and allow you to find the perfect fit.

If you're more concerned about head injuries not caused by bullets, the above-the-ear (ATE) bump helmet from Hard Head Veterans can meet your protective requirements. We manufacture this non-ballistic headgear from a precise blend of polycarbonate materials that form a protective barrier against blunt impact from solid objects. You'll experience a level of protection that far exceeds blunt impact for the stringent EN 1385: 2012 and AR/PD 10-02 standards.

Are you used to wearing helmets that become uncomfortable during extended field or training missions? You'll appreciate the lightweight design of our combat bump helmet. At only 1.4 pounds, this piece of gear won't slow you down when maneuvering in the field or hoofing over rugged terrain. The ATE construction also makes it easier to attach rail adapters for accessories such as headsets and communication devices.

We manufacture our military bump helmets in several colors to meet your functional requirements. If camouflage is your primary concern, consider our Multicam and Multicam black options. You can also select solid black for reliable nighttime concealment or go with olive drab green, orange or tan.

We want you to get the most from your helmet, regardless of how, when or where you use it. That's why we offer a wide assortment of accessories to enhance your tactical helmet's functionality, comfort and safety. Select from options such as:

Helmet pads
Rail adapter kits
Helmet bags
Helmet covers
Mesh covers
Counterweight pouches
Picatinny rails
Sordin/Liberator adapters
Tactical face shields

Your helmet must fit properly to maximize its protective capabilities and prevent unnecessary injuries. While we make our bump helmets in M/L or L/XL you might not be sure which is right for you. To calculate your size, start by using a tape measure to determine your head's circumference around the temples and above the ears. Then, plug the measurement into the chart below and see where you fall.

In addition to implementing stringent quality control and batch testing processes, we back our helmets with a 10-year warranty.

Bump helmets are used for training or as a lightweight alterantive to a ballistic helmet. They offer a stable platform for night vision mounting and are ideal for missions that emphasize the need to be as light weight as possible.

No, they protect against bumps, hence the name! They are typically made of some type of plastic or lightweight fiber in a thin walled shell that does not provide ballistc protection.
