GunNook Standard Ballistic Helmet (SBH)
Elite Protection. Proven Materials. Custom-Built for You.
The GunNook Standard Ballistic Helmet (SBH) is engineered to deliver professional-grade ballistic protection and comfort without the inflated price tag. Made with 100% U.S.-produced DuPont® Kevlar® and tested in accredited U.S. facilities, the SBH provides the dependable protection professionals trust at a cost that makes sense for everyone.
Built with Genuine DuPont® Kevlar®. Every SBH shell is formed from authentic U.S.-made DuPont® Kevlar® the same advanced para-aramid fiber used in military and law-enforcement armor worldwide. This material is prized for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, multi-hit durability, and resistance to heat and moisture.
A common myth in the community is that a helmet with a yellow interior weave means it’s cheaply made or unreliable. In fact, that yellow texture is the natural color of DuPont® Kevlar®, one of the most trusted ballistic fibers on earth. GunNook helmets use 100% authentic Kevlar® fiber, giving you the same material integrity found in top-tier U.S. military gear without the premium contractor pricing.
