For agencies equipping RTF teams from operational budgets rather than grant funding, the VISM helmet allows the program to place a helmet on every team member rather than restricting head protection to a subset of personnel due to cost constraints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eThe Kevlar® shell provides proven Level IIIA ballistic performance — the same threat level as most soft body armor. At Level IIIA, the helmet stops handgun threats including 9mm FMJ, .44 Magnum, and similar high-velocity handgun calibers at velocities up to 1,400 FPS. This is meaningful protection against the most common threat types encountered during active shooter and civil disturbance scenarios. The four-point retention system with integrated suspension provides positive helmet stability under movement while the fully adjustable fit accommodates the variation in head size across shift personnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eTwo sizes — Large (22.0\"–22.8\") and Extra Large (22.8\"–23.6\") — cover the majority of adult head sizes in a law enforcement or EMS workforce. The carry bag included with the helmet allows hygienic storage and transport between deployments and provides a staging location when the helmet is not worn. Available in Black, Desert Tan, and Olive Drab to match agency color schemes and existing kit configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 32px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eSee also: the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.tactical-medicine.com\/products\/ss-401-advanced-combat-helmet-full-cut\" style=\"color:#9c8f61;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eNAR SS-401 Advanced Combat Helmet\u003c\/a\u003e for a premium aramid\/D30 option, and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.tactical-medicine.com\/collections\/ballistic-protection\" style=\"color:#9c8f61;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003efull ballistic protection collection\u003c\/a\u003e at MED-TAC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!--PPLX_COMPARISON_END--\u003e\n\u003c!--PPLX_FAQ_START--\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:24px\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2 style=\"font-family:'Chakra Petch',sans-serif;color:#0d1b2a;border-bottom:2px solid #9c8f61;padding-bottom:8px\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:13px;color:#666;\"\u003eSee product FAQ below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c!--PPLX_FAQ_END--\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"color:#666;font-size:0.85em;margin-top:32px\"\u003e\n    Related searches: VISM ballistic helmet, Level IIIA helmet, NcSTAR tactical helmet, UHMWPE helmet, ballistic protection helmet, tactical operator helmet\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:24px 0 0;padding:12px 16px;background:#f5f4f0;border-left:3px solid #9c8f61;font-size:13px;color:#555;line-height:1.5;\"\u003eAll products sourced from the actual brand manufacturer or authorized master distributors.
