Understanding MICH and ACH Helmets

The U.S. began using the Modular Integrated Communications Helmet (MICH) design at the start of the war in Afghanistan. After adopting the MICH model, slight improvements were made under the name Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH).

MICH and ACH helmets are ideal for use with communications equipment because of their low-profile side brim. Four-point retention systems improve comfort while ensuring stability for the greatest impact reduction. Our Tactical rail systems (ARC) and higher front brows give these helmets compatibility with various attachments, including night-vision goggles and ballistic visors.

Level IIIA+ Ballistic Protection

Our MICH ballistic helmet offers Level IIIA bullet resistance and is tested beyond NIJ standard for Level IIIA. The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) requires helmets to withstand four shots, each to a different location on the helmet. The helmet’s NIJ Level describes the types of bullets it can prevent from penetrating its surface and the speeds at which it resists penetration. The NIJ standard represents the only nationally accepted classification for body armor products.

Level IIIA is the highest for bulletproof helmets. We first test our helmets to meet the NIJ’s requirements of stopping .357 SIG FMJ rounds traveling 1469.82 fps and .44 magnum rounds at 1430.45 fps. When we are sure that the helmet meets these standards, we fire additional rounds from other weaponry. You can count on this helmet to stop any of the following rounds and more: 

• .44 Magnum
• .357 SIG
• 9mm 
• 10mm
• .45 ACP
• .40 S&W
• .380
• 12-gauge slug and buckshot (safely from certain distances)

The Latest Military-Grade Ballistic Helmets Available to the Public

MICH and ACH are the latest available on the private market, as the U.S. recently began phasing in the new Enhanced Combat Helmet (ECH). The MICH design improves its predecessor, the Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops (PASGT). 

MICH and ACH helmets are lighter than prior models while fitting closer to the head for greater comfort and performance. The addition of attachment rails gives MICH helmets greater versatility than PASGT models. What ultimately sets our MICH/ACH Helmets above the rest is Level IIIA protection. These helmets withstand shrapnel, knives and multiple gunshots from pistols or shotguns, making them the ideal choice in close-quarters combat.
