H WIN PASGT Helmets Overview
H WIN’s PASGT ballistic helmets are reliable, battle-tested head protection solutions. Designed with a full-cut shell, it offers wider coverage around the sides, temples, and back compared to traditional helmets. The helmet meets NIJ Level IIIA standards, capable of stopping common handgun rounds such as 9mm FMJ and .44 Magnum, plus fragmentation threats.
Despite the enhanced protection, the helmet remains lightweight, weighing between 1.4 and 1.6 kilograms. This reduces fatigue during long missions or operations. The 4-point adjustable suspension system and cushioned padding provide a stable, comfortable fit for diverse head sizes.

Choosing the Right PASGT Ballistic Helmets: Size and Weight Considerations
Choosing the right size and weight for a PASGT ballistic helmet is crucial for both protection and wearer comfort.
The right helmet size makes a big difference in both protection and comfort. A helmet that doesn’t fit well can shift or pinch, which not only reduces safety but also causes distractions. H WIN offers a range of sizes and an adjustable suspension system inside to help you find the best fit. The helmet sits securely without wobbling and stays comfortable even after hours of wear.
Weight matters too. While the PASGT helmet focuses on ballistic protection and durability, a heavy helmet can strain your neck and limit your movement. H WIN uses high-quality composite materials to keep the helmet tough but as light as possible, so it won’t weigh you down.
Every helmet is tested thoroughly to ensure that size and weight don’t compromise safety. Whether you’re military, law enforcement, or security personnel, you can trust H WIN helmets to protect you comfortably during long missions.
