The R-12 ballistic headgear is based on a proprietary production process that assembles lightweight ballistic fibers so that they conform to and around the human skull. The assembled fibers placed into a hat weighs 10-12 ounces. This aspect is important for daily wear and comfortability for the user. Ballistic testing has shown that these fibers flatten and stop the projectiles from NIJ Level IIIA threats within the outer 3mm layer of ballistic material. This translates medically to no penetration of the skull, and no direct bullet injury to the brain itself. The R-12 ballistic head gear is based on three US Patents that are the basis of the available products.
