Level IIIA Face Shields
The bulletproof helmet visor from Atomic Defense qualifies for NIJ Level IIIA. Our ballistic face shields are categorized under standard 0106.01 for ballistic helmets. NIJ regulations assess a piece of equipment's ability to resist certain bullets at certain speeds. Each NIJ category under standard 0106.01 describes which rounds the gear can prevent from penetrating deeper than 44mm.
Our facial visors are tested to the same requirements as a level II helmet under NIJ Standard 0106.01. This means they must resist four shots from .357 Magnum JSP and four shots from 9 mm FMJ. We test our visors to exceed these requirements, by also testing against .44 Magnum, at our testing facility in Fresno, California. When a visor stops the rounds the NIJ requires, we fire additional rounds and test against shotgun slugs to confirm that the performance of the ballistic face shield exceeds NIJ standards.

General Products:
Must be within 30 days of package delivery.
No need to purchase a shipping label! Atomic Defense will give you a pre-paid one.
Ballistic and Bulletproof Products:
Most companies will not accept any returns on ballistic or bulletproof items. We offer recertification as a courtesy.
Must be within 30 days of package delivery.
No need to purchase a shipping label! Atomic Defense will give you a pre-paid one.
A re-certification cost of 20% applies to returns of ballistic and bulletproof products.
The 20% recertification covers the cost of ensuring the armor is safe. Usually starting with X-Raying the armor for cracks underneath the coating, inspection for damage, and water damage testing. Without this 20%, we would not be able to offer returns on armor.
There is no way for us to know how or if it was used once shipped, and we have to consider them unsafe until retested, inspected and certified.
Exchanges and non-ballistic products do not have a re-certification cost.
Outstanding product from an outstanding company. I have bought multiple items on here (both as registered and “Guest” account) and I have yet to be disappointed. I am waiting for the ACH, excited to add this to it.

The face shields arrived in superb condition. Visor is clear. Good coverage. The visor's method to cycle between positions is well thought out, and though different, is on par with ops core's solution in practice.

Very practical. Worth the money.
After looking to purchase ballistic face protection I settled on this face shield. It allows for natural breathing, broad field of vision and minimal encumbrance. The way the mask is mounted you have a better chance of avoiding kinetic energy transfer than the face mask options.
Completely agree! Visors are the better option in our opinion too when compared to face masks.
I wish I got something like this a king time ago. It’s great when I’m static at the range or working and don’t have to worry about which set of gloves to wear. I throw them in my dump pouch and keep some hand warmers in the sweet pocket that comes with this item
Amazing helmet, it's comfortable, feels sturdy and good quality.
I was also helped with any questions and concerns I had and was not just helpful but quick, professional, yet still had a touch of the amazing small business personality that is loved.
If i ever need something I'm checking Atomic first.
One of the better built plate carriers I have come across. The quick release system is just that quick but also heavy duty unlike a lot of plate carriers on the market. Well worth the money.
My helmet was delivered in a re-used box (see photo). This gave me trepidation as to what I'd find inside. I was expecting it to be in a new, clean plastic bag. It was wrapped in bubble wrap with paper packing. It fits perfectly with the tan pads, although the headband suspension presses into my head, just behind my ears. It's almost painful at first but the discomfort decreases with time but doesn't completely go away. Cosmetically, it's a beautifully manufactured helmet. There's only one tiny sticker on the inside that specifies its NIJ protection level rating. I suspect it's made in China. I just hope it provides the ballistic head protection I need should I ever need it.
I received my helmet quickly and the quality is outstanding. I was able to adjust the helmet with the added padding to fit my head comfortably. This is a better helmet than I ever had while I served. Thank you!
Nice product, well built and ready for use . Great design, 2x5 is plenty of coverage. Good protection for those who don't want to wear a vest , or are unable to , such as Your Children . Thank You , Atomicdefence .
Great customer service. Helmet is of great quality with great fit. Exceeded expectations for the price. Purchased after checking with other retailers and very glad I purchased from Atomic Defense.
Exactly what was expected and arrived quick. One thing is I have a big head and had to remove some of the second layer of padding in areas to fit right. After that perfect...........This review was in no way influenced by the 3 Jolly Ranchers that were included for free.
I can’t say enough good things about this company. I bought these, didn’t need them after all, and returned them hassle free. The option for a refund or store credit is painless, and the customer service here is excellent. Timely response and friendly. I recommend this product for it’s ease of use, and Atomic for being excellent.
I looked up what the navy seals use and this glove came highly recommended. I can honestly say it lives up to the reviews. Index, middle and thumb fingers being exposed made it very easy to shoot and reload my magazines all with the gloves on. The increased grip gloves offer already improved my accuracy from recoil control by about 30%. I even broke several of my handguns down field stripping for cleaning and manipulation of misfiring drills and was surprised at how much the gloves didn’t restrict or delay me. Definitely my new favorite alternative from the full hand and finger gloves I’ve used in the past. So comfortable I even leave them on in regular work activities daily and hardly notice I’m wearing them. Highly durable and well worth the very fair price.
