Your Fortress
The Bastion® is more than a helmet—it's your tactical advantage.
Bastion Ballistic Helmets
Ghost
Full ballistic protection in the cleanest possible package. No rails, no attachment points, no visual weight. Just the helmet.
Patrol
Built for daily carry with room to grow. Resin rails handle lights, comms units, cameras — whatever gear the work demands.
Operator
Maximum-capability platform for operators who run NVGs, cameras, and comms simultaneously. Aluminum rails, zero compromise.
A helmet for every officer, every shift.
Modern policing demands tactical readiness across the board. As departments move toward a full tactical kit in every patrol car, BAC makes sure your agency isn't left behind. The Bastion® family of ballistic helmets is made in America, tested to HG2, and designed and priced for departments of every size.

Frequently Asked Questions
For a complete list of questions visit our FAQ page here.
What threat level are your helmets tested to?
Every Bastion® helmet is independently tested to defeat HG2 threats as defined in NIJ Standard 0123.00. Lab reports are available during the procurement evaluation.
Can grant funds be used to buy your helmets?
Yes, many agencies use grant funds to purchase BAC® helmets. We do our best to support your grant application efforts with the necessary documentation. Check your specific program's eligibility rules, and for questions email us.
What documentation can you provide for our procurement file?
Independent HG2 lab reports, chain-of-custody records, a single-manufacturer justification letter for brand-name or sole-source purchases, our capability statement, and a sample warranty certificate. You can download most of these documents here, but our lab reports are export controlled. To request lab reports, contact us at sales@ballisticarmorco.com.
Do you offer T&E helmets to agencies?
Yes, qualified agencies may request a test-and-evaluation (T&E) helmet for up to one month so that your team can check fit, comfort and compatibility before committing. T&E helmets are provided during our agency procurement process. Complete this form to get started.
Do you accept agency purchase orders?
Yes. We accept purchase orders from law enforcement agencies and government entities, with terms available to qualified agencies. Complete this form and we'll send a formal quote with supporting documentation for your requisition.
Where are Ballistic Armor Co.™ helmets manufactured?
As of February 1, 2026, all Ballistic Armor Co. helmets are pressed and made exclusively in the USA.
I'm currently deployed. Can you ship to an APO?
Yes. Please note that shipping to a military base or U.S. embassy overseas is still considered an export, so it is subject to the same ITAR/EAR constraints as a regular export. However, in most cases it is not a problem shipping to deployed military.
If there is any further information needed to ship your product then a customer service representative will reach out to you directly.
Do you offer a military/LEO discount?
