Galvion Hellbender FE Helmet FAQs
What makes the Galvion Federal Edition Helmet special?Β
The Galvion BATLSKIN Hellbender Federal Edition is built exactly how the FBI and DEA want it. It is field-proven gear made specifically for federal agents. This means you get the highest level of professional protection for high-threat missions.
What does the DEA and FBI Ballistic Testing Helmet Protocol 2024 mean?Β
It means this Federal Edition Helmet passed one of the strictest armor tests in the world. The test proves the helmet can stop fast handgun bullets safely. It also proves the BATLSKIN Hellbender FE Helmet protects your head from hard crashes or blunt impacts.
Why is a boltless design better?Β
Older helmets have holes drilled through the shell for screws and straps. Holes create weak spots where bullets can get through. A boltless design gives this Galvion BATLSKIN Hellbender FE Helmet zero drilled holes. This gives you a solid shield with 100% armor coverage.
What is the Hellbender shell geometry?Β
Geometry is the shape of the helmet. The Galvion Hellbender Federal Edition uses a proven military shape but adds a reinforced ridge on the top and back. This makes the helmet much stronger against impacts without making it heavier.
What is UHMWPE?
Β It stands for Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene. It is a super-strong, lightweight armor material. We mix it with aramid layers to stop bullets while keeping the Galvion FE Helmet weight very low at just 2.32 pounds.
What sizes are available?Β
You can choose from two sizes for the Hellbender FE: Small/Medium (fits up to a 7 1/8 hat size) and Large/X-Large (fits up to a 7 5/8 hat size).
What helmet cuts can I choose from?
Β You can choose a Mid-Full Cut or a High Cut. The Mid-Full Cut gives you more armor over your ears. The High Cut leaves the ears open so you can easily wear large communication headsets with your FBI Helmet.
What makes the APEX liner system special?
Β The inside of the helmet has an APEX liner with a dial on the back. You can turn the dial with one hand to tighten or loosen the helmet instantly. It locks the Galvion Hellbender FE Helmet tightly to your head so it will not bounce or shift when you run.
