Most ballistic helmets stop the bullet.
The Volta stops the trauma.
Engineered for law enforcement, SWAT, military, and security professionals who operate where failure is not an option, the Volta Level IIIA Ballistic Helmet delivers something most helmets can't: less than 10mm of backface deformation during 9mm impact testing. That's not just ballistic protection — that's reduced blunt force trauma to the brain behind the shell.
Built from a proprietary aramid and composite blend, independently tested by an NIJ-accredited laboratory, and designed to exceed DEA, FBI, VPAM 3, and NIJ Level IIIA protocols, the Volta is the helmet you choose when the standard isn't good enough.
Available in Full-Cut and High-Cut configurations with full accessory compatibility — rails, NVG shrouds, retention systems — the Volta is mission-configurable from day one.
When your people are downrange, their helmet shouldn't just meet the standard. It should exceed it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What protection level does the Volta helmet provide?
The Volta provides NIJ Level IIIA ballistic protection and is designed to exceed DEA, FBI, and VPAM 3 testing protocols.
What makes the Volta different from other ballistic helmets?
The Volta was engineered with a focus on reduced trauma performance. During testing, it achieved less than 10mm backface deformation during 9mm impacts, helping reduce blunt force trauma transmitted to the wearer — a performance standard many helmets do not publish or achieve.
Is the Volta available in High-Cut and Full-Cut versions?
Yes. The Volta is available in both High-Cut and Full-Cut configurations, allowing agencies and operators to select the coverage and accessory compatibility that best fits their mission requirements.
Does the Volta provide fragmentation protection?
Yes. The Volta provides excellent fragmentation protection with a 17-grain V50 performance exceeding 2,100 feet per second (640 m/s).
What materials are used in the Volta helmet?
The helmet is constructed from a proprietary blend of aramid and composite materials designed to maximize ballistic performance while minimizing weight.
What is a boltless ballistic helmet?
A boltless ballistic helmet eliminates the shell penetration points typically created by hardware fasteners. The Volta features a 100% boltless design for enhanced long-term durability and structural integrity.
Can the Volta be used with night vision devices?
Yes. The helmet can be configured with an NVG shroud and accessory rails to support night vision systems, lights, communications equipment, and other mission-essential accessories.
What sizes are available?
- Medium: 21.25" – 22.5"
- Large: 22.5" – 23.5"
- X-Large: 23.5"+
How much does the Volta helmet weigh?
- Medium: 3.3 lbs (1.50 kg)
- Large: 3.4 lbs (1.54 kg)
- X-Large: 3.6 lbs (1.64 kg)
Weights include pads and retention system.
What warranty is included?

Is the Volta available on GSA or FedMall?
Contact EOD Gear for GSA Schedule pricing and ordering options. As a GSA Contract Holder, EOD Gear can support federal, state, and local agency procurement through established contracting vehicles. Reach us at govsales@EOD-gear.com or (938) 336-3639.
Is the Volta TAA-compliant or Berry Amendment-compliant?
Please contact our government sales team for current compliance documentation. EOD Gear is an ISO 9001:2015 certified, ITAR-registered SDVOSB and can provide the appropriate compliance information for your procurement requirements.
Can a sole-source justification be provided?
Yes. EOD Gear can provide supporting documentation for sole-source or limited-source justifications based on the Volta's unique reduced trauma performance specifications. Contact our government sales team for assistance.
What is the lead time for agency orders?
Standard lead time is approximately 6 weeks. Larger agency orders may have different timelines. Contact EOD Gear early in your procurement cycle to discuss delivery scheduling and volume options.
How should the Volta be inspected and maintained?
The helmet shell should be inspected before and after each use for cracks, delamination, or impact damage. Interior pads and retention hardware should be cleaned with mild soap and water. Do not use petroleum-based solvents on the shell.
What happens if the helmet is struck by a ballistic threat?
The helmet must be taken out of service immediately after any ballistic impact, regardless of visible damage. Ballistic materials may sustain internal structural changes that are not externally visible. EOD Gear and the manufacturer can assist with post-event evaluation and replacement.
Can the Volta be used with CBRN or gas mask equipment?
High-Cut versions provide greater compatibility with communication headsets and some respiratory protective equipment. Consult your CBRN or PPE specialist to confirm compatibility with specific mask systems before deployment.
