THE BASTION™ HELMET
Diamond Age has revolutionized the modern combat helmet. The BASTION is the first combat helmet that can withstand direct hits from all common rifle rounds, including steel core rounds, at muzzle velocities.
ULTRA-LIGHTWEIGHT
Augmented with an ultra-lightweight carbon fiber and ceramic strike-face.
PROTECTION
Improves protection to levels never before seen. The BASTION helmet is the first to offer comprehensive protection from rifle rounds, including the M855A1 enhanced penetration round, at muzzle velocity.
RATIONALLY DESIGNED
Rationally designed to improve protection where it’s needed most. The modular design of the BASTION helmet was informed by careful analysis of battlefield epidemiological data and casualty statistics.
MODULAR
Fully modular. The full five-plate configuration, which covers the entirety of the helmet shell, is intended for manning turrets, for vehicular patrols, and for tactical raids and entries.

Adaptable: Pick and choose the extent of rifle protection you need. 360° coverage is available with an optional top plate. A lighter configuration, consisting solely of the front and rear tiles, may be better-suited for extended infantry use. And snipers may find that they only need to wear the front tile.
