Ballistic Military and Police Helmets Get the Kevlar® Treatment
Bullets, shrapnel, and explosions are a constant threat to combat personnel. Ballistic helmets made of DuPont™ Kevlar® fibre have helped save thousands of military and police lives from a wide range of threats.
Ballistic helmets made of DuPont™ Kevlar® fibre help protect the wearer against a wide range of threats, including submachine-gun bullets and fragments.
As rigorous impact testing shows, ballistic helmets made of Kevlar® fibre have superior structural integrity that can help enhance survivability in ballistic and non-ballistic impact. And because ballistic helmets made of Kevlar® are lightweight, they can also help improve mobility and reduce fatigue, leaving the wearers more energy to complete their mission.
