The Rabintex web site says "the RBH 303 AU is a high-protection combat helmet based on the American MICH helmet shape. The RBH 303 AU has a special harness which ensures maximum comfort along with high ballistic protection (level IIIA according to NIJ 0108.01 and NIJ 0106.01). The RBH 303 AU is designed to offer protection against high velocity fragments in accordance with MIL-STD 662F and to offer low velocity impact protection in accordance with EN 397.
This example is XL and weighs 1.5kg"
