Boltless Helmet by Hard Shell enhances safety by eliminating bolt holes, reducing spalling risk, and offering a lighter, stronger design with removable rails and shroud for versatile tactical use.
Boltless helmets offer enhanced protection by eliminating the need for drilled holes or inserts, which can compromise the strength of the ballistic material. This design removes the risk of bolt impact and secondary spalling. Instead, lightweight mounting structures are securely bonded to the outer shell, enabling the attachment or removal of accessory rails and shrouds without affecting the helmet’s integrity. The result is a lighter, safer, and more durable helmet.
Boltless Helmet are very useful as there are no drilled holes or inserts through helmet to weaken the underlying ballistic material. Bolt strikes and secondary spalling are no longer an issue. Lightweight retaining structures are bonded directly to the outer shell to allow for accessory rail and shroud removal. The end result is a safer, lighter-weight helmet.
The ballistics in this bundle are rated Level 3A / Level IIIA / HG2. To learn more about the NIJ body armor standards, visit our Understanding Body Armor Ratings blog.
As the name suggests, boltless helmets have no drilled holes or inserts. Hence, this prevents the weakening of the inner ballistic material. The suspension and retaining structures are attached directly to the shell without any use of external fasteners. Boltless helmets are lightweight combat helmets.
Yes, the boltless helmet is a ballistic helmet and has been rated NIJ level IIIA. Their mechanical rigidity also provides excellent impact protection.
To facilitate the removal of accessory rails and shrouds, lightweight retaining structures are bonded directly to the outer shell. Ultimately, the outcome is a more secure helmet while also being less weight.
Boltless Helmets are an excellent option because they have no drilled holes or inserts that could compromise the integrity of the helmet’s ballistic material. Secondary spalling is no longer a problem.
Besides being lightweight and bulletproof, boltless helmets keep from any issues that may arise from bolt strikes and secondary spalling. They are also admired for having a perfect-fit suspension system.
Yes, a boltless helmet is compatible with accessories like face shield, CBRN communication devices, and more.
A boltless helmet contains polymer fasteners in place of heavy screws, bolts, and other metal-made mounting hardware. All the retaining structures in boltless helmets are bonded directly to the outer shell. This allows for accessory rail and easy shroud removal. Thermoplastic anti-rotation inserts can easily be removed for servicing and regular maintenance. These helmets are made of high-tenacity ballistic aramid fiber.
