How to Choose a Helmet

Resistance to Bullet Penetration (NIJ 0106.01)

The commonly followed standard for bullet testing on helmets was constituted by National Institute of Justice, USA. In recent times the NIJ Specification 0106.01 has gained a lot of importance due to its higher bullet speeds & their more damaging lethality. MKU helmets have always shown positive results when subjected to various levels of testing as per NIJ 0106.01 specifications.
