Why This Face Shield

💥 NIJ IIIA — Handgun & Fragmentation Rated

NIJ IIIA is the highest handgun-rated protection level. This face shield stops .357 SIG, .44 Magnum, 9mm, and common pistol threats. It also provides meaningful fragmentation protection — critical in breaching, riot control, and close-quarters scenarios where secondary projectiles are as dangerous as primary rounds.

🔭 PC + PMMA Optical Stack — Clear Vision Under Pressure

The 21mm laminate combines a polycarbonate (PC) energy-absorption layer with a PMMA (acrylic) optical-clarity layer. The result: a face shield that stops rounds without turning your field of view into frosted glass. You can see the threat, identify it, and respond — with your face intact.

🔫 Live-Fire Tested

This product has undergone rigorous live-fire ballistic testing. Every shield that ships from Kevra Defense has been validated against its rated threat level — not just spec-sheet certified. The test results are embedded in the product. Your face is the payoff.

⚙️ Two Mount Configurations

MICH/FAST Universal Rail Version: Mounts directly to ARC-standard side rails on MICH and FAST platform helmets. Tool-free attachment and removal for rapid deployment.
PASGT/MICH (Without Rails) Version: Designed for PASGT-style helmets and MICH helmets without rail systems. Uses a direct-attachment bracket that integrates with the helmet shell.

📌 Helmet-Mounted — Hands Stay Free

Because it mounts to your helmet, your hands stay on your weapon, your shield, or your team. No handheld visor. No compromised grip. Full-face protection without a tradeoff.

Designed to pair with Kevra Defense MICH and FAST ballistic helmets for a complete head protection system. If you’re already running one of our helmets, this is the next piece.
