Multicam Ballistic Helmet SHC LITE GEN 3

SXE GROUP SHC LITE GEN 3 — the latest model in the Super High Cut lineup, whose key feature is its extremely low weight — only 1.1 kg (±4%).

This is one of the key factors for those who wear a helmet for extended periods and use additional equipment — active hearing protection, NVGs, flashlights, cameras, counterweights, or other accessories. A lower helmet weight means less strain on the neck and cervical spine, better equipment balance, and greater comfort during prolonged wear.

At the same time, the weight reduction is not achieved by sacrificing ballistic protection. SHC LITE GEN 3 meets DSTU Class 1 protection requirements and the NIJ IIIA standard, providing protection against corresponding ballistic threats and fragments.

Weight of only 1.1 kg — the key advantage of SHC LITE GEN 3

The helmet weighs only 1.1 kg (±4%), which is especially noticeable during prolonged use.

When NVGs, active hearing protection, and additional equipment are installed, every extra 100–200 grams increases the overall load on the head and neck. That is why the low weight of the SHC LITE GEN 3 provides a real advantage during prolonged combat missions, patrols, training, and active movement.

Less weight — less strain. Less strain — greater comfort and mobility throughout the entire period of use.

Modern composite shell

The SHC LITE GEN 3 shell is made from a modern composite material, making it possible to achieve a weight of 1.1 kg (±4%) while maintaining the required ballistic performance.

The material is resistant to moisture, ultraviolet radiation, and temperature fluctuations, making the helmet suitable for use in demanding field conditions.

The outer layer made of Dutch aramid additionally protects the main material from exposure to high temperatures and open flames, increasing the overall durability of the construction.

Super High Cut — maximum compatibility with equipment

The Super High Cut profile provides sufficient space for comfortable use of modern active hearing protection and communication headsets.

This geometry is especially relevant for users who build a complete helmet setup with NVGs, active hearing protection, flashlights, cameras, counterweights, and other tactical equipment.

At the same time, the helmet's ultra-low weight helps compensate for part of the additional weight of installed equipment.

ARC rails with internal cable routing

One of the features of the SHC LITE GEN 3 is the ability to route cables discreetly directly inside the ARC rails.

Special internal channels allow the cable from NVGs or other equipment to be routed along the helmet and connected to the battery pack.

This makes it possible to minimize the number of external cables that could snag on equipment, branches, or other objects during active movement.

SXE BOA+ adjustment system

The helmet is equipped with the latest SXE BOA+ adjustment system with an internal metal cable.

The system allows the helmet fit to be precisely adjusted according to the shape and circumference of the user's head, evenly distributing pressure around the perimeter.

The four-point retention system additionally stabilizes the helmet and helps maintain the correct position even during running, sudden movements, and active operations.

Carbon impact-absorbing pads

In the SHC LITE GEN 3, the standard 3D pads have been replaced with new American-made carbon impact-absorbing pads.

They perform several functions at once:

• distribute impact energy more effectively;
• provide improved ventilation;
• do not retain moisture;
• dry quickly;
• do not retain unpleasant odors;
• increase comfort during prolonged wear.

Combined with a weight of only 1.1 kg, this internal system makes the SHC LITE GEN 3 particularly comfortable for prolonged use.
