ArmorSource introduces LJD Aire helmet
ArmorSource unveiled a new LJD Aire helmet developed for the defence and law enforcement markets at the SHOT Show on 21 January.
The LJD Aire is over 40% lighter than the traditional helmets, and according to the company it exceeds the ballistic protection of the Lightweight Advanced Combat Helmet.
In a full-coverage version, size large, the boltless helmet will weigh 1.9lbs (850gm). The LJD Aire features ACH/MICH geometry, and will be available in mid and high cut versions, offering standard or boltless side-rails, standard or boltless retention, and aftermarket products including shrouds and brackets.
The LJD Aire is the first product launched in ArmorSource's new Lawrence premium product line. The helmet will be commercially available in the third quarter of 2015, after giving the US government first priority and production consideration.
