STIMPEX BULLETPROOF HELMET Date of manufacture is 2009, but label implies it may be a 2004 design. |

Obviously very PASGT-like in form, though has a much more modern velcro pad liner system (you will note that the crown pad is missing) and a complex nape strap. It is painted black overall and no other colour beneath is visible; I would guess from that it is for civil or police use rather than military. There are various traces of the manufacturer, STIMPEX, on the internet, but nothing that shows they are still in the business of helmet-making. This helmet weighs 1486g, and is a Large size. |

STIMPEX helmet - similar but different. Please note - these images were taken from a Romanian sales site in 2011. Normally we would not include information derived that way, but little is known of these Romanian composites it is worth including this for comparison. |

Not having both helmets to compare and contrast it is hard to say whether any differences - except for the label - are real or illusory. Any and all information gladly received! |
