Armor Source AIRE II

U.S. Army next generation advanced combat helmet. The lightest in the field.

Armor Source Aire II Helmet solution is the lightest version of the U.S. Army Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH / LWACH) on the market. Designed to minimize weight burden, the Aire II has effectively reduced the weight of the traditional ACH helmet by more than 30% and that of LW-ACH helmets by more than 15%. All while exceeding the ballistic protection of the Lightweight ACH category as a whole, thanks to Armor Source’s proprietary materials and superior development capabilities.
