4D Tactical Helmet Pad System - HIVE kit

The 4D Tactical Helmet Pad System is the most technologically advanced, most comfortable helmet pad system available. Originally developed for USSOCOM, the Zero G pads meet and exceed specification for ACH Blunt Impact and Ballistic Protection – even exceeding current standard issue, OEM, and aftermarket suspension system offerings (according to independent and DoD lab testing (USMC SMART-TE ACH Test). 

Common complaints of wearing helmets is insufficient padding leading to headaches, and "hot spots" caused by non-uniform padding. These complaints are only exacerbated when the helmets are worn for hours at a time, loaded with ancillary equipment like night vision, lights, IFF strobes, and mission recorders. 4D Helmet Pads solves all of these problem by using a rate- and temperature-sensitive material that conforms to wearer’s unique head shape and completely eliminates any hot spots commonly experienced by most factory pad sets. These materials provide unparalleled comfort, fit, and stability. The padding is covered in a heat and moisture wicking anti-microbial fabric. It is designed to draw perspiration away from the head and will actually cool the wearer through this evaporative process. 

The 4D Helmet Pads are a drop-in replacement set of pads that uses the OEM velcro disks already present inside your helmet. They are also machine-washable to provide years of reliable service. As the pads are sewn together, they do not come apart in the wash like other pads that are glued together.

As the primary contact surface between your helmet and your head, the long-wearing comfort of your helmet should not be ignored. 

The HIVE Kit is a 10-pad deluxe kit that contains triangular pads that can be configured in infinite number of ways. Available in 1/2" and 3/4" thicknesses these will work best in ACH, Team Wendy and Crye helmets.
