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. 

A silhouette of a head surrounded by a measuring tape underscores the significance of accurate sizing for helmets. Beneath it, a sizing chart displays head circumference in inches alongside corresponding hat sizes for S/M, L/XL, and 2XL—crucial for achieving the perfect fit for your Premier Body Armor Fortis Ballistic Helmet.

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.

Quality at a reasonable price!

Finally a Body Armor store that has excellent customer service! I had three different ballistic helmets from other brands I was considering. One of them would have cost $1500. When I called Primier and inquired about their Fortis helmet I was instantly sold. It was light weight level lllA helmet with a high cut. Price point was awesome too! I will be ordering again soon.

Super comfy

I spent a solid eight hours in this thing. The pads keep enough air under the shell to keep your head reasonably cool, strap system held the helmet to my head nice and firm while running around and even with a PVS-14. The shell is light, and didn't run into any issues of feeling like I needed more cushion until the last hour of the night shoot (11pm, arrived at 3:30).

Pads come off easy for adjusting, arc rails are good and tight, and the texture of the shell holds new paint very well.

It fits

Get to the point when I was a kid. I had an accident and now my head is shaped a little funny. I always had an issue with helmets. This one fits well. I like the way that I can adjust all the foam to get it to fit. Just right. If you're in the market for a helmet, give this one a look. I like the way it's cut fits well. Foam is easy to adjust. Hopefully I never have to find out how effective it is, but I know it's premier body armor it's gonna do the job.

Great Helmet and plates

I have had my helmet for about a week now. I ran it the other day at the range and it was very comfortable and loved the features. I also have plates I’ve had for about a year and absolutely love them. They are very light weight and can wear them all day if needed. The helmet is also very lightweight.
Thanks for the great products and fast shipping.
