TSS International BV Leads Successful Armed Forces Trials of SKYDEX IsoFit® Helmet System

Independent testing supports IsoFit’s ability to enhance protection, stability and endurance in challenging environments.

European defence specialist TSS International BV has announced highly successful results from extensive armed forces user trials of the SKYDEX IsoFit® Helmet Protection System, confirming the system’s outstanding performance in heat management, comfort and stability under operational conditions.

The trials, supported and coordinated by TSS International BV across diverse climates, demonstrated consistent results in both extreme heat and sub-zero cold, even when the helmets were integrated with advanced communications equipment.

“These results reinforce TSS International’s commitment to delivering proven, high-performance technologies that enhance the safety and effectiveness of personnel in the field,” said Louis Huijzen, Managing Director at TSS International BV. “We’re proud to have supported these trials and to bring this next-generation solution to our European defence partners.”

Alvaro Vaselli, President & CEO at SKYDEX, added: “IsoFit represents a new benchmark in helmet protection. The system adapts precisely to the user’s head shape, offering unmatched comfort and stability. Working with TSS International ensures our customers in Europe receive the highest standard of technical support and availability.”

Trial Highlights:

• Superior heat management: Reduced heat build-up in high temperatures while maintaining warmth in cold environments.
• Enhanced comfort: Greater comfort during prolonged wear, reducing fatigue and improving focus.
• Exceptional stability: Maintained helmet balance and fit during dynamic movement.
• Seamless integration: Fully compatible with communications gear without compromising fit or usability.
• Proven reliability: Performed consistently across desert and arctic conditions.

As SKYDEX’s official European distributor, TSS International BV played a central role in facilitating the trials and is now coordinating independent scientific validation of the system’s protection performance in line with European standards. TSS also maintains dedicated stock in Europe, enabling rapid delivery and reliable supply for defence customers across the region.

The SKYDEX IsoFit Helmet Protection System combines advanced SKYDEX impact materials with the adaptive IsoFit liner, which conforms to individual head shapes. The design ensures balanced pressure distribution, effective impact mitigation and exceptional stability. Several helmet systems featuring IsoFit have already passed AR/PD 14-01 testing.

In addition to positive feedback from armed forces personnel, OEM evaluations suggest that IsoFit technology can enhance protection and reduce overall helmet weight when integrated with ballistic shells.
