ADVANTAGESLIGHTWEIGHT The RCH 3.5 lbs is lighter than current competition today. The RCHcomes in 1-1.5lbs lighter than so-called rifle rated helmets. Lightweight and true rifle protection! COMPLETE SYSTEM The RCH is one complete system and provides rifle rated protection without the use of adding or attaching any up-armor plates to the helmet like what is seen with competitors. XTCLAVE Made in XTclave™ Ultra High-Pressure Consolidation. XTclave™ is a composite curing and consolidation technology that makes it possible to manufacture lighter, stronger and stiffer composite articles. WARRANTY 5 years on all ballistic material excluding exterior cover, 1 year on exterior cover material and workmanship. REPUTABLE ARMOR COMPANY HighCom Armor is a name recognized within the defense and law enforcement community as a trusted and valuable resource for high quality and cost-effective protective systems. The company’s engineering and operation teams have designed and commercialized numerous solutions according to NIJ and MIL-SPEC body armor standards and testing protocols.

PUSHING THE LIMITS OF MATERIAL SCIENCE & PROCESSING TECHNOLOGIES The Striker RCH Level III+ Combat Helmet is manufactured using XTclave™, a cutting edge composite curing and ultra-high pressure isostatic consolidation technology. XTclave™ composite manufacturing process utilizes high pressures and high-efficiency heat exchange, along with a heat transfer fluid to produce stronger, lighter, and stiffer helmets. By utilizing the unique advantages of the XTclave™ technology, even pressure is applied to the entire RCHshell resulting in the world’s lightest and thinnest true rifle rated helmet. The Striker RCHCombat Helmet is capable of stopping AK-47, 7.62, or M43 (MSC), M80 as well as frag projectiles all at muzzle velocity with full coverage across all shot locations. XTCLAVE TECHNOLOGY
