Ballistic Comfort
Armor built for a full shift.
Every Bastion® shell is pressed under heat and pressure and independently tested to HG2. Inside, dual-layer Gen 3 memory foam pads keep the helmet stable and comfortable through a full shift.

Satin-like coverBreathable and smooth against skin and hair.
Open-cell memory foamSoft layer that conforms to your head.
Closed-cell baseHigh-density, shock-absorbing foundation.
Mobility
Built to move.
The Bastion® shape gives you full range of motion and wide peripheral vision, even in close quarters. Clipped rear corners let you go prone and shoulder a rifle without the helmet getting in the way.
Headset Communication
Always in the loop.
Bastion® side rails give your headset a solid home. SlideLock™ accepts reverse dovetail, M-LOK™, and bolt-on accessories, with M-LOK™ also available on the Operator. Operator rails are machined from American aluminum in a Cerakote® finish; Patrol rails are lightweight black resin.

Tactical Accessories
One platform. Every mission.
Lights/Infrared
Run white light, or stay invisible with IR only. Designed to fit every major helmet light on the market, the Bastion® adapts to your mission, visible or not.
Marker Systems
A hook-and-loop exterior gives you real estate for IR beacons, ID patches, and mission markers, so you never run out of space when it matters most.
Face Shields
From riot control to ballistic stopping power, the Bastion® integrates with most helmet-mounted face shields. The rails keep your shield secure on impact, and ready for what's next.
Night Vision
Lock in your night vision with the push of a button. The Bastion® shroud, standard on the Patrol and Operator, is built for the Wilcox G24 mount, cut from solid aluminum, and finished in Cerakote®. Your optics stay secure. Your focus stays forward.
