Specifications for THE GD-700 GENERAL DUTY/TACTICAL HELMET

SHELL
The half-coverage shell is constructed of Arimid Fiber Reinforced Thermo Plastic Composite utilizing high pressure compression molding for increased strength while maintaining a light weight helmet. The visor is an integral part of the shell. The shell edge is finished with a tough molded trim. Shell shall be painted to department specifications. Complete helmet with shield shall not exceed 2.8 lbs.

LINER
The impact liner is constructed of expanded polystyrene (EPS). Liner will have a minimum thickness of 3/4” in test plane area to provide maximum impact energy attenuation. The EPS liner is covered by a vented brush nylon material that is bonded to a multi-density foam for comfort and durability. This material provides maximum wicking of perspiration away from the user’s head to allow for the most cooling to the wearer.

SIZES
Size Range 6 3/4” to 8 1/8”. Order by S/M 6 3/4”-7 1/4”, L/XL 7 3/8”-7 7/8”, and XXL 8”-8 1/8”. Two self adhesive sizing strips will be included with each helmet for sizing adjustment within a shell range.

RETENTION SYSTEM
The retention system is included with a four-point, perspiration resistant vinyl covered “Y” harness including a chin strap made of black tubular nylon webbing double bar tacked in critical areas. The harness is equipped with a Quick Release Buckle, all metal working parts, for secure fastening that meets or exceeds D.O.T. and industry standards. The Quick Release Buckle, allows fast entrance or exit from the helmet even when gloves are worn. The retention system includes an adjustable safety nape strap to increase stability in all situations including foot pursuit.

TACTICAL FACE SHIELD (OPTIONAL ACCESSORY) The GD-700 is specially designed to accept an integral 6” tactical face shield made of clear Lexan material with a liquid seal (Part No. TA-92). The liquid seal is affixed so to prevent a passage of liquids from the helmet dome face shield onto the inner shield surface when shield is in down position. Shield mounts directly to helmet using a shield hardware system (Hardware Part No. TA-922-HDW). The shield mounting system is designed and affixed to be mounted to the helmet with metal screws and shield to install to mounting blocks with a thumbscrew for hand adjustment that will lock shield in desired position. Shield hardware is designed for maximum shear strength. The mounting position is designed to accommodate most gas masks behind shield when in down position.

STANDARDS
Meets or exceeds all applicable industry standards including Department of Transportation FMVSS-218 (for impact and retention only); National Institute of Justice 0104.02 (riot) and 0105.01 (crash). This helmet is not intended for motorcycle use (refer to SD-600 model).
