Specifications for THE RS-100 RIOT/TACTICAL helmet

SHELL
The three-quarter coverage shell is constructed of high density Tenntex Thermo Composite utilizing high pressure injection compression molding for increased strength while maintaining a lightweight helmet, shell edge has a finished trim made of steel core extruded neoprene rubber. Visor is an integral molded part of the shell. Back edge of shell is tapered outward to allow positioning of shoulder weapon in prone position. Helmet sides flare to accommodate double canister gas masks behind face shield. Most current gas masks can be used with this helmet. Shell will be painted with a scratch resistant flat black paint. Complete helmet will not exceed 3 lbs. including shield.

LINER
The impact liner is constructed of expanded polystyrene (EPS). The liner will have a minimum thickness of 3/4” in test plane area to provide maximum impact energy attenuation. Two EPS liner sizes shall be available to offer optimum comfort and appearance. The EPS liner is completely 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.
