Armor Express/Busch

Protective AMP-1 TP Helmet

The Busch Protective AMP-1 TP helmet is the lightest and first composite helmet to achieve VPAM certification, according to Armor Express. Weighing 3.6 pounds, the AMP-1 TP stops ballistic threats as close as .78 inches from the edge and multiple shots on a small surface area, enhancing its protective area by up to 50%. For officers at risk from multiple hits at close range, minimal energy is transferred from the helmet shell to the wearer's head. The AMP-1 TP offers high fragmentation protection. It features a distinctive rail system with speed system technology, advanced protective padding system for impact and shock attenuation, and a wheel dial for uni-sizing flexibility.
