PT Helmets – Alpha Model

PT Helmets A-Alpha

For years unit life support shops have been modifying skate board helmets for use as bump helmets during activities such as CQB, maritime, and airborne operations. Modifications can be costly as well as have varying degrees of success. PT Helmets does the work for you with the Alpha helmet which they manufacture specifically for special DOD customers. The shell has the same tensile strength as a hard hat and the impact liner is designed for airborne operations. The crown pad is also removable as the helmet is designed to accommodate communications systems. In fact, excess material over the ears is removable in order to custom fit large ear cups.

The Alpha helmet comes standard with an integral goggle retention strap at the back of the helmet. Additionally, the helmet has a four point suspension with a nape pad that is similar to the MICH. This makes the helmet not only a more effective platform for NVGs but also safer for activities such as airborne operations. You can utilize the chin cup for a more secure fit or attach the strap under the chin when wearing protective masks. The chin strap is mounted using non-corrosive Black zinc Phillips head bolts.

The helmet is available with optional velcro panels as well as removable MIL-STD 1913 rails. Also, the helmets are pre-drilled for both the Navy three hole pattern or Army one hole pattern NVG mount.

PT Helmets Alpha - OD

They are available on OD, Desert Tan, and Black non-reflective matte finishes. However, they are ready for paint right out of the box. To order contact PT Helmets. They are a very cost effective alternative to doing in house mods.
