The A1-GEN1 is a complete ballistic platform, designed to offer reliable protection, good stability while wearing, and compatibility with modern tactical accessories. Fit: High Cut type FAST SF Material: High-performance woven aramid Protection: Tested according to NIJ IIIA 0106.01 Additional testing: NIJ 0101.06 level IIIA reference threat Rails: Skeleton Super High Cut Compatibility: NVG, audio systems, lights, rail accessories Comfort: Complete SOFTCORE liner kit with integrated BOA system Traceability: 2025 ballistic report extract provided Availability: End of series, limited stock Each helmet and each pack is assembled, prepared, tested, and inspected in our workshops. Each order including a helmet is delivered with a 2025 ballistic report extract. Note: End of series availability. This A-TACS color is offered as an end-of-series item. Quantities are limited and no restocking is guaranteed once the stock is depleted. The "end of series" designation refers only to the availability of the color. It does not affect the quality of the shell, ballistic performance, workshop preparation, or the helmet's traceability.
The A1-GEN1 is a High Cut ballistic helmet made of woven aramid, designed for users looking for a serious, stable and ready-to-use platform.
Its aramid shell offers a rigid, stable, and proven structure with little to no deformation upon impact. This material is particularly well-suited to intensive use, hot or arid environments, and configurations where hull stability is paramount.
With a raw S/M shell weighing less than 1 kg , the A1-GEN1 positions itself as a particularly lightweight aramid platform. Once prepared with its finishing elements, and then equipped with its Skeleton Super High Cut rails and NVG shroud , it maintains an excellent balance between protection, stability, and mobility.
The A1-GEN1 is tested according to the NIJ IIIA 0106.01 standard, applicable to ballistic helmets.
Additional tests are also conducted with deviations from the NIJ 0101.06 Level IIIA reference threats, including:
9×19 mm
.357 SIG
.44 Magnum
Internally, CallOfDefense conducts fragmentation impact behavior tests according to a STANAG- inspired simulation protocol, in a V50 type logic.
These tests rely on the use of lightweight, fragmentary equivalent projectiles, weighing approximately 1.3 g , launched at estimated speeds between 680 and 705 m/s depending on the test configuration. They allow observation of the hull's response to rapid, concentrated, and high-velocity impacts.
Each order including a helmet is delivered with an extract of the 2025 ballistic report , in order to ensure product traceability.
The A1-GEN1 is equipped with the SOFTCORE liner kit , incorporating removable and adjustable internal foams as well as a BOA dial adjustable retention system.
This assembly allows the support to be adapted to the user's morphology, with quick, precise and stable tightening, even in full configuration.
The High Cut design leaves the ear area free to facilitate the use of a tactical headset or communication system.
