Public Order Riot Helmet
This is a genuine British police riot helmet, the full-face public order pattern worn by officers on crowd and disorder duty. A rounded shell, a long clear visor and a POLICE-lettered brow band give it the look British officers are known for at demonstrations and on the front line of public order work. It suits collectors of police and law enforcement kit, reenactors, and anyone dressing a film set, display or costume with the real article.
Features
- Genuine Police Issue — This helmet was made for and issued to British police, so it carries real service provenance rather than being built for the costume trade.
- Full-Face Clear Visor — A tall transparent shield hangs from the brow and extends below the chin to cover the whole face while keeping a clear field of view.
- POLICE Brow Band — A silver-finish band with bold black POLICE lettering runs across the front and is secured with visible rivets along its length.
- Stenciled Shell Number — A large white identification number is painted across the crown, the kind of marking used to identify individual officers or units in a crowd.
- Padded Brim Edge — A grey padded strip lines the lower edge of the shell above the visor and band.
- Rounded Helmet Shell — The smooth domed shell covers the top, sides and back of the head in a gloss finish.
- Black Or Blue Shell — The helmet is shown in both black and dark blue shell colors, both carrying the same visor, band and markings.
- Adjustable Chin Strap — A black strap system under the jaw holds the helmet in place on the wearer.
British Police Provenance
Riot helmets like this one are part of the public order equipment issued to UK police for protests, large events and disorder. Each piece is original issued equipment, which is why the force markings and stenciled number are still in place. For a collection or a period-accurate police impression, issued kit with its markings intact is the version worth having.

Unused condition, order bigger size.I wasn't sure of sizes, ordered the bigger of the two, glad I did because it is plenty snug. Some storage or light use wear, but chinstrap and liner seems brand new. Years ago, I think I saw one tested and they are NOT secretly bulletproof. But better than nothing.

A good helmet but has some issues.I bought this helmet for Christmas. I opened it today. It’s been used but not abused on the outside and that’s ok and expected. The one thing on mine is the foam on the side has turned into a dusty mess. I had to rip out all the foam And hopefully replace it. Other then that it’s a good solid helmet.

1 of 2 were goodMixed feelings about this. I ordered 2 helmets. 1 was the wrong color than I ordered, but otherwise in great condition. Minor scratches on the visor and helmet but the helmet and hardware were overall in great condition. Excellent value for a legit helmet. The 2nd arrived wet inside, foam liner falling apart, and mold/mildew growing. It looked ok from the outside but was disgusting inside. Contacted Keep Shooting and was given a RMA to return the helmet for a refund and told to order a new one from the website to replace it. Size I needed was now out of stock and USPS quoted me over $30 for shipping. Ended up emailing to cancel my RMA since it would have cost as much to return ship as the refund. Basically paid double for 1 good helmet and got to dispose of some garbage for Keep Shooting.

Great findI work for a private security company they require us to buy are own gear. The last few months have had lots of public order problems, so they wanted us to buy riot helmets. 5 other officers bought these helmets and they are great so I got one to. If you are looking for a great helmet that is not expensive, and can take a beating this is it.
