Ballistic Hood and Tactical Head/Neck Protection (Level IIIA)
Neck Protection
The neck area between the helmet and vest can be exposed to shrapnel. The ballistic hood armors the shoulder-chin line with NIJ Level IIIA panels – securing vital arteries in CQB operations and crowd control situations, completing full body protection.
Ballistic Hood Features
In indoor entry teams, glass/shrapnel can hit your face from a door blast. NIJ IIIA armor extending from the shoulders to the nape of the neck stops 9mm bullets, while flame-retardant Nomex fabric protects against Molotov cocktail flames. Ear meshes provide headset compatibility and fit seamlessly under the helmet.
Realistic Scenario and Advantages
In CQB room entry: Shrapnel can hit the neck – NIJ IIIA panels absorb the impact.
In crowd control situations: Molotov cocktail risk – flame-retardant fabric prevents burns.
In vehicle turrets: Danger of an exposed neck – shoulder-chin armor covers it.
In long-term missions: Sweating discomfort – breathable lining keeps you dry.
In headset use: Pressure relief – mesh earcups provide freedom of movement.
