    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.

            Skittles and ballistic protection

            not only do I have protection from fragmentation and most pistol calibers but it also came with a snack. Added my peltor comtac V’s, once I adjusted the pads lt was a perfect fit (bought the XL, if your head measures 23-1/2” to 24” it’ll fit perfectly) didn’t want to pay 130 bucks for a helmet cover so I just spray painted the helmet the GWOT snakeskin pattern using the laundry bag trick like I did overseas and always got yelled at and smoked over. The fast SF is super comfortable compared to the ACH, ran 3 miles with the helmet in full kit and it got a little warm but not to ****, pads don’t seem to soak up sweat nearly as much as others I’ve used. Don’t bother with the rifle rated helmets, the fast SF offers the most protection with the least amount of weight. Let’s face it if a helmet rated for faster calibers like 7.62x39, and if that hits you in the head you’re probably gonna die anyway from the force alone. Might as well save your discs and settle for more mobility and less protection. Atomic defense was also nice enough to include a PVC patch and skittles which was awesome, they had good communication with the purchase as well especially when I decided I wanted the tan instead of the green. Also Purchased the helmet through affirm which is nice not having to break the bank but now I can train and Larp without being broke. Shipping was prompt and I got it in about a week with a weekend inbetween. Thanks guys!

            A classy individual right here!

            SF Fast high cut helmet

            Overall shipping was lengthy but that’s to be expected, I would order in advance to when you would expect the helmet to arrive. They are built to order. If you want updates regularly just shoot atomic defense a message they alway respond quickly and answer any questions you have and can clarify. Just be patient and your helmet will arrive
