PGD - ARCH Gen 3
These helmets have been tested to strict NIJ Standards in an internationally recognized, DOD Certified Facility - Data Attached - They have been tested in both Wet and Dry conditions to ensure performance in both Land and Maritime applications.
The ARCH Gen 3 helmet weighs only 1.35 kg / 2.97 lbs as a complete helmet. This makes it one of the lightest ballistic helmets on the market, in this price range.
The Helmets are NOT sourced or manufactured in China.
The ARCH Gen3 utilizes Kevlar Aramid from Dupont. The DuPont Kevlar is then pressed in Bulgaria and finally assembled in Denmark before being shipped to the United States.
To ensure the structural integrity of the helmet, a specialized coating is applied around the entire shell. This process ensures that your ARCH Gen 3 can withstand rain, oil, and corrosive liquids such as fuel. This is a real benefit to personnel operating vehicles and professionals in the field.
In addition to the above, the engineering team at PGD has designed the ARCH 3 to be fully adaptable. Mounting additional equipment on the rails is easy.
Both the rail sections and front shroud have been meticulously engineered to maintain a streamlined silhouette and remain fully compatible with current aftermarket attachments and systems.
Front Shroud is compatible with:
Wilcox G24
Norotos LowSto or similar mounting solutions
Arch Gen 3 Side is compatible with:
AMP mounts
Peltor rail mounts
Picatinny rail sections
Lights
IR Strobes
and much more....
The front shroud has been torture tested to ensure rigidity and strength while also maintaining a sheer strength that rivals that other 3 hole shrouds on the market.
In addition to compatibility with modern night vision mounting solutions, these helmets also are mission adaptable when it comes to the attachment of:
Beacons
Lights
Ear Protection
Cameras and much, much more.
This helmet is built to be high-cut with a wholly redesigned BOA fit system and padding solution, with built-in fall protection. This combined ensures a balanced feel when the operator attaches a night vision device and additional accessories.
