The ACH Model 5860 ballistic helmet is a streamlined design that provides for the operator a balanced-lightweight helmet unsurpassed in comfort and superior ballistic protection. The ACH Model 5860 was designed with a higher cut around the forehead and ears. This result is a helmet that maximizes peripheral vision and ambient hearing, while minimizing interference with body armor.

Utilizing Poly-EX (TM) ,the latest technology in ballistic materials. The ACH Model 5860, high ballistic helmet was designed to exceed the expectations of the MICH helmet by providing Level 3A protection and optimizing comfort and function for long periods of operation. The ACH Model 5860 provides the following advantages:

Features:

• Superior ballistic, fragmentation, and impact protection, with reduced head borne weight
• Improved compatibility with night vision, communication, Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical equipment.
• Performs in all environmental conditions from -40F to -160F
• Reduce profile optimizes peripheral vision and sensory awareness, not leaving the operator disadvantaged in hostile environments.
• Improved interface with body armor, allowing the user to have a full range of motion, even in the prone position.
• A 4 point, fully adjustable strap-harness suspension system maximizes stability and comfort.
• Two type of Support Systems available 

Pad Suspension System:

• 5 highly engineered pads (1 crown and 4 trapezoid pads)
• Pad are removable ( hand washable-mild detergent)
• Pads mold and conform to the shape of the operator’s head
• Pads can be moved around to accommodate gas masks, communication equipment etc..)
• Minimizes shock loads from ballistic, fragmentation, and blunt trauma, thus dramatically reducing risk of non-ballistic injury.
• Pads provide increased air circulation in the helmet, keeping the operator cooler, and less likely to experience heat trauma.
• Provides a quieter environment for the operator
• Minimizes pressure points

Balanced Band System

• Reinforced padded leather band -surrounds the helmet interior
• 4 way X Band system to give full stability and support
• Oblong head pad intergraded with the Band system for balance and aeration
