The AirFrame ATX, which debuted just this January at SHOT Show 2014, is now available on the Crye Precision website. Aramid-based, the ATX meets NIJ Level IIIA ballistic requirements and is intended for use with Law Enforcement. It features the AirFrame standard overlapping vented shell design for passive cooling, and an Ops-Core H-Nape Head-Loc retention system. Compatible with all AirFrame accessories and common ear-pro systems.
Yes, this is an aramid helmet meaning it is going to be a little heavier and thicker than the original PE in the AirFrame helmet. But, this also makes it less expensive for LE users. Available in Black, Tan, and OD Green. Made in the USA from US materials.

Wasn’t clear on the $35 cheaper price on the ATX so I just got off the phone with Crye. They stated the ATX has better bullet impact protection than their original but is slightly heavier. He specifically said the ATX is produced from Kevlar (an aramid); I forgot to ask about the material of the original AirFrame, but whatever it was it’s lighter than the the Kevlar version.
It’s a PE construction
Spectra Shield
So PE construction, just like SSD said 😉
Yes lol but I wanted to be more specific. Doesn’t hurt, right? 🙂
