SWEETWATER, Texas – June 7 2024
Hard Head Veterans, a veteran-owned and operated helmet manufacturing company, announces the launch of its newest product, The HHV ATE® GEN3 Ballistic Helmet. Proudly made at their facility in Sweetwater, Texas by men and women who have worn helmets into combat themselves, the helmet is designed for military, law enforcement, and patriots of this great nation.
“We are beyond excited to start production of the Gen3 ATE helmet at our facility in Sweetwater, Texas,” said Dub Robertson, Plant Director of Hard Head Veterans.”Since day one, our mission has been to provide the highest quality products to our Military, Law Enforcement, and First Responder communities at prices they can actually afford, and the Gen3 helmet will provide that option while simultaneously having the American-made manufacturing our customers demand.”
Incorporating customer feedback and continuous improvement, Hard Head Veterans has enhanced the Gen3 ATE with the A3S Lite night vision shroud and a dial-adjustable chin strap, ensuring optimal fit and functionality for users in various environments. With an average backface deformation number of 13.125mm, the HHV ATE® GEN3 offers unparalleled safety without compromising comfort or mobility. Designed with input from military, law enforcement, and first responder communities, this helmet provides superior protection at an affordable price point while still maintaining American manufacturing, making it accessible to those who serve and protect our nation.
The HHV ATE® GEN3 Ballistic Helmet is now available for purchase at an MSRP of $799. For more information, visit www.hardheadveterans.com or contact info@hardheadveterans.com.
Always appreciate that they are one of the few ballistic helmet companies willing to publish actual data from 3rd party sources instead of saying “tested in house”.
Does anyone have personal experience with them that they can share?
Yes, have their original Gen1 and their lite version. Micro lattice pads in the lite are game changing. Took me a while to like mlok, but their new pop out adapters are leaps and bounds better than their original which was my only major gripe.
The ballistic shells are still made in the People Republic of China. Possibly in a PLA own facility since most of their domestic military equipment facilities are owned by the CCP PLA.
Hi Seamus, not sure where you are getting your information but our ATE Lite, GEN3 and soon to be ATE Rifle are all made in our Sweetwater Texas facility. This includes the helmet shell, with USA made materials. We only have one facility and it’s entirely US owned.
