Protection Group Denmark ARCH Gen 3 Ballistic Helmet
The PGD ARCH helmet is trusted by special forces, military, law enforcement and civilians in over 30 countries. It is designed, manufactured and finished 100% in the EU.
The PGD ARCH is designed for extreme conditions and is NIJ lab tested to stop .44 magnum, .357 Sig and many other lesser, common threats. Our chosen materials and process excels at greatly reducing back face deformation (BFD) and the risk of trauma associated with a ballistic strike.

Product features
The ARCH helmet begin life in Switzerland as raw Kevlar fibers from DuPont. They are converted to Aramid layers by Europes’ premier textiles research and innovation center Saati S.p.A. in Italy before pressing into the shell we know and trust.
We use a proprietary pre-preg lamination process which allows us to make a multi-hit ballistic helmet that is extremely durable at a lower weight.
The ARCH helmet weighs only M (1.30 kg) L(1.35 kg), XL(1.4 kg) for the complete helmet system. This makes the ARCH helmet one of the lightest aramid ballistic helmets on the market. The superior weight-to-protection ratio allows for a greater mobility during use without sacrificing the ballistic performance.
The ARCH is tested according to following ballistic threats:
- NIJ 0106.01 standard with IIIA 0101.06 threats: .44 magnum and .357 SIG.
- NIJ 0106.01 standard with IIIA 0108.01 threats: .44 magnum and 9 mm FMJ.
- NIJ 0106.01 standard with special threat 9 x 18 mm steel core MAK 6.0 g at velocity (335±10) m/s
- NIJ 0106.01 standard with special threat 7.62 x 25 mm FMJ 5.5 g standard lead core at (520±10) m/s
- V50 STANAG 2920: 660 m/s
- 50% reduction in Back Face Deformation (BFD) against 9 mm (HPW-TP-0401.01B IIIA)
The PGD ARCH ballistic helmet is 100% designed, sourced, made and finished in Europe through our purchase and control of all materials, from the raw fibers to the final product. This ensures a stable and quality process throughout the entire supply chain.
Our priority is your safety, and we believe in providing you with a helmet that you can trust to do its job effectively, every time.
We understand that choosing a helmet is not a decision to be taken lightly, which is why we stand behind our products with complete confidence. PGD guarantees our ARCH helmet to provide you with a superior level of protection and performance, any time your life may depend on it.
Our proprietary aramid composition of the helmet allows it to perform the same in both ambient and wet environments as well as in extreme heat, cold and humid conditions without changing any performance on the aramid shell. The ARCH ballistic properties will not fade over time, ensuring long-lasting protection for the user.

The front shroud and rails are made with a unique polymer + glass-fiber composition that offers higher tensile strength and lighter weight than all common die-cast metals to include Aluminum, Magnesium and Zinc.
The front shroud is compatible with the Wilcox, Norotos, Cadex and similar night vision mounts.
Our rails are compatible with the following headset adapters: 3m Peltor, Sordin, Ops-core AMP arms, Earmor, and any similar system. Additional accessories can attach to the helmet via provided Velcro or the rail system.
