What the protection level means
Manufacturer-stated NIJ IIIA (handgun level). IIIA is the highest handgun level in the US National Institute of Justice scale (NIJ 0101.06, tested with .357 SIG and .44 Magnum rounds). The newer NIJ standard calls the closest level HG2. It is not rated against rifle rounds, and it is not a stab or spike rating unless the listing says so separately.
No protective equipment removes all risk. Ratings FAQ
Helmet sizing: how to measure
Wrap a soft tape measure around your head about 1 cm above the eyebrows and ears, at the widest point. Use the size whose range contains your measurement (the ranges are shown on each size button). If you are between sizes, pick the larger size and fine-tune the fit with the internal pads.
Not sure? Message us with your measurement before ordering.

Important information
The NIJ IIIA rating is manufacturer-stated and has not been independently verified by R Supply Store. This helmet is designed to help reduce the risk of injury from certain handgun threats and does not make the wearer invulnerable. It does not protect against rifle rounds or impacts outside the shell coverage area, and the high-cut design leaves the ears exposed. Civilian ownership of ballistic helmets is legal in England, Wales and Scotland, however legality varies by country. The buyer is responsible for verifying local ownership and import legality before ordering. R Supply Store does not provide legal advice. Tracked delivery to the UK, most of Europe and the US, with order updates by email.
