The Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) and TBH-II Army Version are based on the latest performance requirements of the U.S. Army for ballistics, impact, retention and other protective upgrades. 

The helmets are lighter than the previous PASGT infantry helmet and include a pre-drilled Night Vision Goggle Bracket hole. The shell trim eliminates the beak and has a higher side trim than the PASGT. The helmet also includes an improved 4-Point Retention and Pad Suspension System. (Pictured right with X harness).

The Water Resistant Pad Suspension system supplied with each helmet consists of one crown pad, four lateral pads, and two front and rear pads. The pads are 3/4-inch thick with optional 1 inch thick pads also available.

The retention attaches at four points to the shell with ballistic resistant hardware. Adjustment slides are located on both the front and rear of the retention, allowing adjustment for proper fit and stability.

Medium - 49 oz., Large - 53 oz. and X-Large - 62 oz.
