Peltor ComTac VI: The Best NIB Comms. Backed by the Atomic Warranty.
Comes with Gel Ear Cups, ARC Rail Adapters for helmets, batteries, and more!
Improved over the ComTac V: New NIB and MAP features are the biggest leap forward in technology in years.
Peltor VI provides your communications with a fail-safe that guarantees a continued connection even in the event of complete battery depletion.
Peltor ComTac VI features NIB (wireless communication capabilities to other headsets up to 33 feet away with NO radio!).
Features earplug mode that increases hearing protection by another 5 dB with many foam earplugs, the ComTac VIs will then increase their internal volume by 6 safer dB.
Lightweight and comfortable, these headband and neckband options weigh less than one pound. They can be worn all day without causing fatigue or discomfort during extended operations.
IP-68 Waterproof rated and tested. Reliable comms are hard to find. Find them here on Atomic Defense where our Lifetime Warranty covers any manufacturing defects.
The 3M Comtac VI headset is the perfect solution for any situation that requires clear communication and superior hearing protection. With its lightweight design, adjustable headband, and comfortable gel ear cushions, the ComTac 6 headset provides an ideal fit that allows you to stay focused on your mission. It also features a secondary microphone port on the back of the headset, allowing for connection to oxygen systems (HAHO/HALO operations and those who like jumping out of planes that aren’t on fire) and the 3M Scott First Responder Respirator (FRR).
The Peltor ComTac VI NIB headset provides headset-to-headset communication without a radio at up to 33 feet (11 yards) using NIB. The IP68-rated MT73 dynamic microphone ensures reliable audio performance even in the harshest weather conditions such as rain or snowfall. It operates on 864Mhz and 915Mhz frequency bands with TDMA modulation protocol technology to guarantee perfect sound transmission every time!
The ComTac VI also includes a fail-safe feature that guarantees external device communications will continue even if there is an electronic failure or battery depletion. Additionally, it features earplug mode that boasts additional hearing protection as its volume is boosted by 6 dB to help compensate for the additional attenuation provided by the ear plug. The Peltor ComTac VI has been tested at 168dB in accordance with ANSI S12.42-2010, ensuring excellent impulse noise protection when worn properly according to user instructions.
The Peltor ComTac VI is lightweight and comfortable enough to wear all day during extended mission operations without causing fatigue or discomfort. It weighs less than one pound with the headband use at 0.84 lbs (379g) and back band use at 0.78 lbs (352g).
3M PELTOR ComTac VI offers superior protection against prolonged exposure to continuous noises such as industrial noises and vehicle engine roars as well as impulse noise generated from explosions, machinery, or gunshots.
The 3M PELTOR ComTac VI offers a selection of set-ups, each generating varying Noise Reduction Ratings (NRR) levels. Studies have demonstrated that by simply choosing the right configuration, PELTOR ComTac VI can provide attenuation performance with an NRR ranging from 20 to 23 dB. On top of this potential gain, you could add E-A-R Classic Ear Plugs which are rated at 29 dB NRR providing your total spectrum protection increased up to 5dB more than what is attainable through only using the 3M product alone.

FAQs for the ComTac Peltor VI by 3M
What comms-to-radio adapter/PTT (Push-to-talk) will I need for my radio?
First, you'll need the ComTacs VI Single Lead or Dual Lead model. The Defender option will not plug into radios (without an additional adapter). For radio setups, you'll basically match the adapter look to the adapter that you have. Some common examples:
Common civilian radios: FL5035-02 for K1 plugs like Baofeng, Bendix King, Hytera, Kenwood, Relm, Wouxun
FL5230-FM for Motorola HT750
FL4063-02 for Motorola APX/XPR
FL5063 or FL5063-02 for Motorola Turbo
FL5018-02 for Motorola XTS
FL5083-02 for Ericsson Jaguar 700P
FL5078 for K2 plugs like Kenwood Multi-pin
Common military radios: FL-U/94A-19, FL5601-02, or FL-U/94A for (AN/PRC-148 and AN/PRC-152 Nexus Radios) for Alan, Exelis, Harris, Thales 6-PIN MIL-C-55116 (Aka, 6-Pin Nexus)
FL5701 for Dual Comms with 6-PIN MIL-C-55116
Don't see your adapter type? Send us a picture of the radio's side where the plug is for help.
What communications interfaces does Peltor ComTac VI have? Does this one use U94?
Single and Dual Comm models use standardized TP-120 NATO U174/U94 w/ NATO wiring downlead downleads. Providing a standard fit for your existing equipment.
Can it connect to a U94 PTT? While we don't recommend most U94 connectors due to their low quality, yes. They can connect to U94 NATO wired PTT too.
3M ComTac VI has a variety of communication interface options including a "Y" cable for use with the Joint Service General Purpose Mask, Centurion adapters for common public safety radios, Dual Invictus adapters that support two radios simultaneously, and Viper QUAD Comms control units designed to connect multiple assets and platforms. Comtac VI Dual Comm also features a secondary microphone port on the back of the headset, allowing for connection to oxygen systems (HAHO/HALO operations) and the 3M Scott First Responder Respirator (FRR).

Which one? Peltor ComTac VI Defender or Peltor ComTac VI Single Comm?
Both the Peltor 6 (VI) Single Comm, Dual Comm, and the Peltor ComTac VI Defender and Peltor SwatTac VIs are all able to be purchased on this page. The choice you'll need to care about is simply how many radios you want to connect to this bad boy.
1 Radio? Get the ComTac VI Single Comm (One/Single Lead) option.
2 Radios? Get the ComTac VI Dual Comm (Two/Dual Lead) option.
No Radios? Get the ComTac VI Hearing Defender (No Lead) option.
SwatTac? Just if you want black, or you’re a door kicker.
Can I attach these onto or under a helmet?
Both. Out of the box, they will fit under any helmet (padding may need to be adjusted). Purchasing these with us will also include ARC adapters for helmets. The included ARC adapters will allow you to mount them to the ARC rails on your helmet.
Does ComTac VI offer gel ear cushion options?
Yes, by default, all of our Comtac VIs for sale come equipped with gel ear cushions (and helmet adapters when purchased on Atomic Defense.) A great way to reduce pressure points and make it perfect and comfortable for longer-term use.
Do these ComTacs use Bluetooth?
No, it is a common misconception that 3M Peltor VI uses Bluetooth. ComTac 6 and ComTac 7 models use a near-field communications network called NIB (without any radios) that is somewhat similar to Bluetooth, but different and more secure.
What kind of plug lead does the ComTac VI use?
The standard Nexus TP-120 / U-174 connector is the lead plug used on the back of the headset for down leads.
Is it Peltor ComTac 6 or Peltor ComTac VI?
It is technically "3M PELTOR ComTac VI" followed by the lead and color option of your choice. More commonly used phrasings you will find in the field are ComTac 6s and ComTac VIs. We’ve also heard them be called by their full title, the “3M PELTOR ComTac VI NIB headset” and “PELTOR 3M ComTac VI”.
How long does the battery last in the 3M Peltor ComTac VI with NIB on versus NIB turned off?
The ComTac VI headset is powered by two AAA batteries and has an average battery life of 50 hours with NIB turned off.
30 hours with NIB turned on. We recommend purchasing rechargeable batteries for this reason.
All models and colors feature auto power shutoff after 4 hours, helping to extend the overall battery life if you leave them on.
Laboratory Attenuation Rating Chart
The ComTac VI model is rated for an NRR of 23 and is in CSA Class B.
Why is this better than the previous models?
ComTac VI models have the same upgrades as the ComTac V models when compared to the ComTac IIIs. But they have two new features:
MAP profiles that will adjust the internal sounds to increase or decrease certain frequencies. A great option for listening to footsteps, voices, cutting out voices, and more.
NIB allows all team members to speak together without the use of any radios.
Can civilians and government agencies place orders?
Both. Civilians and state agencies will be ordering the standard NIB that is commercially available. Federal agencies will have the option (see below) to order dual-frequency headsets that are not FCC regulated.
If you are in the military, ask your unit which model you will need. Standard or Dual Frequency. Standard is the most common for units that are state-side.
Continued: U.S Federal Government clients can also purchase a dual frequency NIB headset that is not FCC-approved as it offers both 915.5 MHz (for use in North America, Australia, and New Zealand) and 864 MHz (for use in Europe).

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.
Got my set of Comtacs about a week ago and they are everything I expected and more. Quality is top notch and shipping was fast. Would buy again from this company.

FAST Shipping - Buy from Atomic
I cannot get over how quickly the product got to me. Atomic beat competitor prices as well. Highly recommend.
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.
