Hard Head Veterans Micro Lattice Helmet Pads

This product ships from another warehouse location and is not available at our retail store. Orders will take an additional 3-5 business days for processing.

They are excited to finally offer their Micro Lattice helmet pads for tactical or ballistic helmets. These pads have been in development for years and through their partnership with Carbon® and their Digital Light Synthesis ™ manufacturing process they are able to create energy absorbing complex structures in a helmet pad that could never be manufactured before.

These micro lattice pads average single digit deformation numbers when tested to 1400 fps with 9mm projectiles on our ATE ballistic helmet. Regardless of whether they are at -60 degrees or 160 degrees they still perform the same. This can not be said for standard foam pads.

The Carbon DLS™ process enables lattice structures that absorb and dissipate energy through the precise tuning of strut thickness and cell size.

Features:

• Multi-structure design allowing for both comfort and safety.
• 3/4" Thickness
• Velcro Attachment
• Shock Absorption

Key Benefits:

• Up to a 66% decrease in ballistic transient deformation over standard foam pads
• Up to a 21.70% decrease in blunt impact accelerations over standard foam pads
• Lattice construction allows unrestricted airflow keeping helmets an average of 14 degrees cooler
• Pads do not absorb sweat or water making them quick drying, positively buoyant, and easily washable.
• Comfort lattice conforms evenly to the users head

Compatibility:

ACH, MICH, LWH, ECH, Crye Precision, Ops-Core, MTEK, Revision/Galvion, Gentex, Team Wendy, United Shield, and most others that utilize Velcro® attachment.

The Carbon® Design Engine™ leverages physical simulation data to optimize each lattice structure with specific performance criteria in mind. The result is a protective, breathable, and comfortable padding that protects against ballistic, blunt, and rotational impact forces. These pads have been designed to meet and exceed AR/PD 10-2 standards for ballistic helmets. They are not to be used in other helmet systems such as motorcycle or fire fighting helmets that are designed to meet standards such as DOT (FMVSS 218) or NFPA standards. Helmet pads should be replaced annually.

HHV and the Carbon DLS™ process are advancing the state-of-the-art in head protection and this is just the start of possibilities! Patents Pending.
