ADEPT ARMOR released the NovaSteel Flip Ballistic Mandible Gen 2, an entirely reengineered facial protection module designed to meet the evolving ballistic and impact threats faced in modern conflicts. The Gen 2 model introduces a patented, sealed hinge mechanism that enables silent, one-handed flip-up operation with free-stop positioning at any angle, while preserving a lightweight form factor and wide field of vision. Its most significant innovation is its sealed, all-aluminum, patented rotating mechanism, permanently welded to a dedicated Combat Circlet, and designed for:

  • Silent, smooth, one-handed actuation
  • Free-stop positioning at any angle without detents or latches
  • Stable, secure operation that preserves cheek-weld and comms access
  • Ballistic Rating: 124 gr 9mm FMJ
  • Fully compatible with the ACH model and all NovaSteel helmets (2024+)

The NovaSteel Flip Ballistic Mandible Gen 2 is available from ADEPT ARMOR for 490 USD.
