UN WHO PASGT Composite Helmet, UN Blue
The PASGT helmet is the archetypal composite helmet adopted by many armed forces and agencies directly or as a variation. Though outdated now, these were in service for a long time and offered NIJ III ballistic protection without breaking your neck with weight. Legendary!

Unfortunately we can't ship this item to your country. We're terribly sorry!
The PASGT helmet is the archetypal composite helmet adopted by many armed forces and agencies directly or as a variation. Though outdated now, these were in service for a long time and offered NIJ III ballistic protection without breaking your neck with weight. Legendary!
We were able to source a NOS batch of helmets that were originally produced for the World Health Organization. The ballistic warranty is officially gone as these have been manufactured several years ago but these were never used.
These are not officially sold as protective equipment but for collecting purposes. But if someone were to use this because nothing else was available, there's very little we could do about it if you catch the drift. Be responsible, use a helmet cover to cover the blue paint!
Helmet history
A successor to the M1 steel pot, the PASGT helmet was the father of most modern-day composite helmets. The PASGT (Personal Armor System Ground Troops) is comprised of this helmet and a protective vest. Nowadays, there are newer and better pieces of protective equipment but the PASGT stuff was The Shit from the '80s to the early 2000s.
The PASGT helmet looks much like the old coal scuttle from WW II but is made of modern materials. Unlike every helmet in the history of the US armed forces, the PASGT was available in different sizes (the M1 helmet was "one size fits all") and, of course, adjustable for a precise fit. The innards look much like the ones used in the M1 but better.

- Small: 51-56 cm
- Medium: 54-59 cm
