Step into the future of ballistic helmets with the newly updated Fortis Ballistic Helmet. This high-cut helmet showcases advanced protective technology, and at just 3 lbs, an extremely lightweight ballistic helmet. Constructed from advanced ballistic fibers, it offers solid protection, achieving backface deformation results that outperform the vast majority of commercially available ballistic helmets (read more about backface deformation).

Now with updated aesthetics, the Fortis Ballistic Helmet includes two new color options and more helmet sizes, ensuring a perfect fit for even more users. The design not only optimizes the helmet's capacity for energy dispersion but also keeps it considerably lighter, reducing wearer fatigue and enhancing mobility when compared to standard Advanced Combat Helmets (ACH).
The Fortis Ballistic Helmet is not just about protection; it is also designed for functionality, featuring a 7075 aviation-grade aluminum NVG shroud and glass-reinforced polycarbonate ARC rails. Available in sizes S/M, L/XL, and 2XL, it serves a broad user base, ensuring an optimal fit with its sophisticated padding and adjustment system. This Level IIIA ballistic helmet offers a level of protection that is competitive with helmets three times its cost. This value reflects the helmet's innovative approach, employing modern engineering and materials to provide essential protection, comfort, and utility without the premium cost.

Rating & Testing
The Fortis Ballistic Helmet meets the Level IIIA standard. To learn more about the NIJ body armor standards, read our Understanding Body Armor Ratings article.
*Note: In the penetration column, "P" stands for partial penetration, meaning the bullet was captured by the armor and did not fully pass through. This is a successful result. A failure would be marked as "C" or "CP" for complete penetration, indicating the bullet fully passed through the armor.

Sizing
The Fortis Ballistic Helmet comes in three sizes; S/M, L/XL and XXL. Use the sizing guide and information below to find the size that will fit you best.

How to pick your helmet size:
- Use a flexible tape measure to measure around your head. Place it over your eyebrows and ears, and see where it meets.
- Don’t have measuring tape? Use a string or a shoelace instead, then measure it with a ruler.
- Picked the wrong size? No worries! We make it easy to swap it.
Easy Tips for a Perfect Fit:
- Measure your head later in the day. Heads can be slightly bigger then.
- Think about how you'll be wearing the helmet. Will your hair make a difference, or will you wear something under the helmet? This might mean you need a bigger size.
- Measure your head three times to be really sure of your size. Use the average of those three as your real measurement.
