The Bastion® Ghost™ is built for those who were never there—operators who value silence over spectacle, and restraint over excess. Where others add weight, hardware, and glare, the Ghost™ removes it all. No rails. No shroud. No holes or bolts. Just a seamless ballistic shell delivering Bastion®-level comfort and NIJ Level IIIA protection in its most silent, simplified form.

Made in the USA, the Ghost™ preserves the Bastion’s legendary fit and peripheral vision while eliminating anything that could catch light, add weight, snag, or rattle. Its smooth, uninterrupted geometry moves cleanly through confined spaces, brush, or debris—designed for those who need to move unseen and unheard.

Pressed in the United States with a clear chain of custody and assembled in White City, Oregon, every Ghost™ shell embodies the same uncompromising precision as the Bastion®. But this time, it’s distilled to its purest state: unadorned, unapologetic, unstoppable.

Built for the Unseen

Every contour of the Ghost™ was designed to minimize reflection, drag, and signature. Its seamless shell eliminates unnecessary hardware, leaving behind a form defined by purpose—not ornament.

Bastion® Comfort, Ghost™ Discipline

Inside, the Ghost™ carries the same silky, shock-absorbing memory foam pads and 4-point retention harness that made the Bastion® legendary. Lightweight. Breathable. Built for long missions with zero hotspots or fatigue.

Focus Without Interference

No mounting plates. No exposed hardware. Nothing to vibrate, glare, or announce your presence. The Ghost™ delivers pure, unbroken protection—every inch of the shell working quietly toward the same goal: survivability without compromise.

NIJ Level IIIA Protection

Pressed under extreme pressure and heat, and independently verified to meet NIJ IIIA ballistic standards, the Ghost™ offers reliable protection against handgun threats and shrapnel while maintaining the balance and feel of an unarmored cap.

Made in the USA

Each Ghost™ helmet is pressed, assembled, and finished in the United States with complete material traceability and a clear chain of custody—because even what’s unseen deserves accountability.

STORAGE: This product is manufactured using an aramid material which naturally breaks down over time. Ultraviolet light accelerates the breakdown of aramid fibers, so be sure to store your helmet in a dark, cool place when not in use to ensure maximum lifespan of the product.

USE: To extend the life of your product, it is strongly recommended that you use a protective cloth cover over the helmet to protect it from UV rays while in the field.

CLEANING: Clean with a soft cloth dampened with water, as needed. Do not use cleaning detergents or abrasive scrubbing materials, as these may compromise the ballistic material. Do not allow the product to sit in water, as this may corrode the ballistic material.

PAD CLEANING: Hand wash with mild soap and cool water. Squeeze out and air dry. Do not machine wash or dry!

The Original Ghost™ Helmet

The Ghost™ strips away everything but what matters most—critical ballistic protection with Bastion®-level comfort. No rails. No shroud. No shine. Just a pure ballistic shell, engineered for silence, strength, and simplicity. Built for those who were never there, the Ghost™ is as light and quiet as you.

Bastion® Comfort, No Fanfare

Boasting the same silky shock-absorbing memory foam pads as the widely praised Bastion® helmet and harness, scaled down to provide nothing but raw, uninhibited ballistic protection up to NIJ Level IIIA stopping power.

Advanced High Cut Shell Geometry

The distinctive cut of the Bastion® is designed to give you full maneuverability and peripheral vision without interference from your gear. Focus on the mission with a clean seal on your eye and ear protection, even in the prone position.

Where are Ballistic Armor Co.™ helmets manufactured?

The Bastion ballistic helmet is pressed in Ohio and trucked to our White City, OR production facility where it is assembled with American materials. The Bastion™ retention is currently sourced from Israel.

The Gen 1 ballistic helmet is pressed in China to Ballistic Armor Co. specifications, and independently tested by an NIJ-certified lab in the United States. Unlike many products made in China, our ballistic helmets are produced using American materials and tested to the same rigorous standards as American-made helmets.

The Gen 2 ballistic helmet was discontinued in 2023 due to concerns about its true country of origin.

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.
