MODEL: HAWK "FORCE PROTECTION" Ballistic Visors

Protection Level: Visor NIJ IIIA 9mm FMJ RN 124 Grain 1,400 fps

Newly developed Visor Fastening System (V.F.S.) enables to mount a ballistic visor on a regular helmet, PASGT for example, in a simple stable and safe method.

The combination of the ballistic visor and the Visor Fastening System (V.F.S.) allows the user to enjoy the benefits of the full face protection for the time period when he really chooses to have this protection while having the ability to take off the extra weight of the ballistic visor and still have the protection of the helmet for longer needed action periods.

The quick, simple, stable and strong attachment of the ballistic VFS to regular helmets like the PASGT and the Schuberth 826 is a tactical and logistic benefit. It allows to flexibly reinforce the number of the professional persons in action line with the needed protection level for the immediate time and area of the quickly developing events.

The ballistic VFS saves the need to allocate special helmets with assembled fixed ballistic visors – permanently heavy and expensive.

The ballistic V.F.S. can be held in the regional forces warehouse as well as in the intervention forces’ vehicle ready for the area’s commander decision, as events develop, to put the needed or extra needed number of people in action.

The visor has three positions: fully down covering the face, 45 degrees and fully up above the helmet's centre of gravity. Its adjustable rear buckle fits various helmets sizes.

The weight of the VFS itself is about 400 gram and with the 1010 ballistic visor it weights about 1475 gram.

In principle all our visors can come with the VFS but the most popular is the 1010 visor, which answers Class 1 of the German standard.
