• ACH-GEN-II — The Military Helmet Spec LE Actually Cares About

  ACH-GEN-II is the US Army's performance specification for Advanced Combat Helmet and its derivatives. It covers fragmentation V50, 9mm V50, backface deformation, and retention — a tougher spec than NIJ 0106. This guide covers what it specifies and why LE agencies increasingly require it.

• Ballistic Helmets — The Complete ArmorOS Guide

  The authoritative hub for ballistic helmets — NIJ 0106 and ACH-GEN-II standards, cut styles (ACH / MICH / FAST / high-cut), pad vs dial retention, NVG mounting (Wilcox, Ops-Core VAS), and procurement. Source-cited across every spec.

• NVG Mounting — Wilcox L4 vs Ops-Core VAS

  Wilcox L4 and Ops-Core VAS are the two NVG shroud systems that matter. This guide covers shroud-to-helmet compatibility, J-arm and dovetail standards, and how to specify a helmet so your downstream NVG loadout just works.

• Helmet Retention — Pad Systems vs Dial Harnesses

  A properly-rated ballistic helmet fails to protect if the retention is wrong. This guide compares foam pad systems (Team Wendy CAM-Fit, Oregon Aero), dial harnesses (BOA, Galvion Caiman, Ops-Core H-Nape), and hybrid configurations — with selection guidance by mission.

• LE Helmet Procurement — RFP Language That Actually Works

  Most LE helmet RFPs either under-specify (and get bids from vendors whose product doesn't actually meet real requirements) or over-specify (locking to a single vendor). This guide covers the specification language patterns that capture the right envelope while keeping competition open.

• MICH vs ACH vs FAST — Which Helmet, and Why the Names Matter

  MICH, ACH, and FAST are three helmet names that get used interchangeably — and shouldn't be. MICH is a SOCOM program, ACH is the Army program, and FAST is a commercial Ops-Core lineage. This guide separates them and tells you which one your RFP actually specifies.
