Ensuring Quality and Trust: The Ballistic Armor Co. Commitment

In today's market, where safety and protection are paramount, the quality and authenticity of ballistic helmets cannot be overstated. At Ballistic Armor Co., we understand the critical nature of our products, which is why we go above and beyond to ensure that our helmets meet the highest standards of safety and reliability. Unfortunately, not all brands share our commitment, and the market is flooded with helmets that claim to be "NIJ IIIA Rated" but fall dangerously short of these standards.

The Reality of the Market

Many online stores offer helmets that are not rigorously ballistic tested. Some even use materials like fiberglass or plastic, which do not provide the protection they claim. These subpar products pose a significant threat not only to individuals relying on them for protection, but also to the integrity of our industry as a whole. Adding to this issue, most of these competing brands are foreign-owned and are not subject to the same stringent laws and regulations that govern American companies and their owners. This lack of oversight allows them to sell inferior products with minimal accountability.

We have appealed to online marketplaces like Google, Facebook, and Shopify to do their part in restricting international bad actors from advertising to American consumers, especially when it comes to life-or-death products. Unfortunately, their primary interest lies in advertising revenue rather than consumer safety, making it all the more critical for consumers to be vigilant and choose brands that prioritize their protection.

Our Unwavering Commitment to Quality

Ballistic Armor Co. is a fully American-owned company based in White City, Oregon. Our dedication to quality control and rigorous testing sets us apart in the market. Here’s what makes us different:

  1. Vetting Manufacturing Partners: We carefully select and vet our manufacturing partners and the materials they use. Our partners are as committed to quality as we are, ensuring consistency and reliability in every helmet we produce.

  2. Serialization and Tracking: We serialize all our helmets and track every lot meticulously. This allows us to maintain rigorous quality control and traceability, ensuring that each product delivered to our customers is of the highest quality.

  3. Random Lot Testing: Every batch of helmets undergoes careful inspection and random lot testing to ensure compliance with our stringent standards. We shoot a lot of helmets. This final QA process helps us catch any potential issues that may have been missed during manufacturing, and guarantees that each helmet meets our high safety requirements.

Our Relationship with China-Based Manufacturers

While it’s true that many low-cost helmets are produced in China, it's crucial to understand that not all China-based manufacturers are created equal. At Ballistic Armor Co., we have partnered with the same reputable China-based manufacturer for our Gen 1 helmet since our inception. This long-standing relationship has allowed us to grow together while maintaining our high standards of quality control. It is also what makes the Ballistic Armor Co. Gen 1 one of the only China-made helmets on the market to be ballistically tested and rated in an NIJ-certified lab.

Our manufacturing partner understands our commitment to excellence, and together, we ensure that every Gen 1 helmet produced is of the highest quality. We have never had a product recall, never received a report of product failure, and our helmets have consistently passed random lot tests. This track record speaks volumes about the reliability and quality of our products.

Introducing Our Fully American Line

While we guarantee the quality of our Gen 1 helmet, we are also working tirelessly to develop and introduce a fully American line of products, including our Gen 3 Bastion, proudly made in the USA, assembled at our facility in White City, Oregon. Each product is built and tested with the same rigorous standards of quality and safety that our customers have come to expect from Ballistic Armor Co.

Why We Don’t Offer Sales

Unlike many affordable helmet suppliers, we do not offer deep discounts or sales. Our priority is the safety and protection of our customers, and we will never cut corners on quality control. Offering discounts would mean compromising on the meticulous processes that ensure our helmets meet the highest standards of protection. We believe that peace of mind and safety are worth the investment.

Ballistic Armor Co: A Name You Can Trust
