  • Medium 20 1/4” – 23 1/2”

The HHV ATE® Rifle, proudly made in Sweetwater, Texas, is the only rifle rated helmet that not only stops rifle threats (including 5.56 M855 Green Tip), but keeps backface deformation to an acceptable level. Combat and police casualty data show that prioritizing frontal skull protection in helmets can dramatically reduce fatalities by up to 50%. The helmet shell (1.6lbs) is made up of UHMWPE and aramid fibers, while the up-armor is made of Silicon Carbide. The helmet utilizes our Micro Lattice Pads to maximize comfort and further decrease backface deformation.

Watch Video: 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!
