| Protection standard | The CG634 is the main combat helmet of the Canadian Armed Forces . It was introduced in 1997 and is based on the French Gallet F2 helmet. The helmet has protection equal to an NIJ Level 3a rating, being able to stop a shot from a .357 Magnum .[source]Open-source estimate; CG634 helmet rating described as equal to NIJ Level 3a, not an independently established certification | The shell is made from 19 layers of Kevlar , a ballistic aramid fabric treated with a phenolic resin system, and is rated at Threat Level IIIA .[source]Open-source estimate; PASGT helmet shell, not the PASGT vest It meets the 1800 requirement of MIL-STD-662 E.[source]Open-source estimate; PASGT helmet; the source does not supply a unit for its stated 1800 requirement Based on testing conducted for the Brass Fetcher Ballistic Testing Company, former ARDEC research engineer John Ervin stated that the PASGT vest is equivalent to NIJ level II or IIA protection: able to stop multiple 124-grain 9×19mm FMJ pistol rounds to its main torso panels (front and back), but susceptible to several closely spaced rounds or shots to the thin neck and shoulder panels.[source]Open-source estimate; PASGT vest torso-panel independent-test comparison to NIJ II or IIA; the neck/shoulder limitations are retained |
