This helmet was tested in accordance with ANSI Z90.1-1979. Impact testing is accomplished at high and ambient temperature only and headform deceleration is limited to 150G in the crown and 175G in the headband area. Lateral impact in the earcup area does not exceed 150G with a drop velocity of 6.0 m/sec, and combined with crushable earcups significantly improves impact protection levels. When tested in accordance with ANSI Z90.1b-1979 using a 1950 Newton tension equivalent (440 ft lb) load for two minutes, the chinstrap does not elongate more than 3.8 cm from the preload of 110 Newton. The chin strap features both D-ring and snap fasteners to ensure rapid removal in the event of an emergency.
