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 Traceability: 2025 ballistic report extract provided Each helmet and each pack is assembled, prepared, tested, and inspected in our workshops. Each order containing a helmet is delivered with a 2025 ballistic report extract. End-of-line note: This Coyote Brown color is offered as an end-of-line item. Available quantities are limited, and no restocking is guaranteed once the stock is depleted. The "end-of-line" designation refers only to the availability of this color. It does not alter the quality of the shell, ballistic performance, workshop preparation or traceability of the helmet.
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.
S/M: 53–58 cm
M/L: 55–60 cm
L/XL: 58–63 cm
Aramid helmets can generally be chosen in your usual size. For extended wear with a balaclava, hearing protection, or full helmet setup, it is recommended to check your head circumference before ordering.
Size S/M measured:
Raw shell: less than 1 kg
Case prepared with internal/external Velcro, labels and protective elements: approximately 1.030 kg
