RIFLE SPECIAL THREAT TESTED PROTECTION Level III+ rifle rated ballistic helmet including frag protection. The RCH is multi-hit rated and stops the following rifle threats: 7.62 x 51mm FMJ, steel jacketed bullets (M80), 7.62 x 39mm (M43 MSC PS), 5.56 x 45mm M193 FMJ.

According to proprietary test requirements as defined by U.S. DOD.

EXCEEDS INDUSTRY STANDARDS Testing results show the RCH Helmet significantly exceeding other rifle rated helmets with Frag threats: US MIL-STDFrag 17 grain FSP V50 4187 f/s. This product has been independently tested by an NVLAP accredited NIJ approved laboratory against FRAG resistance as specified under MIL-STD 662F.

MATERIALS 100% UHMWPE DSM Dyneema®

ADJUSTABLE HARNESS & ACCESSORIES The RCH comes standard with D3O TRUST 7 Pad helmet system. Wilcox NVG shrouds and the Striker Rail System can be added to the RCH to accommodate any intended missions.

Multiple harness options available.

KEY ADVA

COMPLETE SYSTEM LIGHTWEIGHT The RCH 3.5 lbs is lighter than current competition today. The RCHcomes in 1-1.5lbs lighter than so-called rifle rated helmets.

Lightweight and true rifle protection!

ANTAGES

The RCH is one complete system and provides rifle rated protection without the use of adding or attaching any up-armor plates to the helmet like what is seen with competitors.

WARRANTY 5 years on all ballistic material excluding exterior cover, 1 year on exterior cover material and workmanship.

XTCLAVE Made in XTclave™ Ultra High-Pressure Consolidation. XTclave™ is a composite curing and consolidation technology that makes it possible to manufacture lighter, stronger and stiffer composite articles.

REPUTABLE ARMOR COMPANY HighCom Armor is a name recognized within the defense and law enforcement community as a trusted and valuable resource for high quality and cost-effective protective systems.

The company’s engineering and operation teams have designed and commercialized numerous solutions according to NIJ and MIL-SPEC body armor standards and testing protocols.

Thousands of customers from the United States Military and Law Enforcement to governments and agencies around the globe have come to depend on HighCom Armor’s advanced ballistic armor manufacturing processes.

PUSHING THE LIMITS OF MATERIAL SCIENCE & PROCESSING TECHNOLOGIES XTCLAVE TECHNOLOGY The Striker RCH Level III+ Combat Helmet is manufactured using XTclave™, a cutting edge composite curing and ultra-high pressure isostatic consolidation technology.

XTclave™ composite manufacturing process utilizes high pressures and high-efficiency heat exchange, along with a heat transfer fluid to produce stronger, lighter, and stiffer helmets.

By utilizing the unique advantages of the XTclave™ technology, even pressure is applied to the entire RCHshell resulting in the world’s lightest and thinnest true rifle rated helmet. The Striker RCHCombat Helmet is capable of stopping AK-47, 7.62, or M43 (MSC), M80 as well as frag projectiles all at muzzle velocity with full coverage across all shot locations.

KEY ADVANTAGES OF XTCLAVE Batch processing PV allows for many variants with production efficiencies
