The suit system is the foundation, but the accessories are where operational capability is built. Haven Gear designs its accessories to work with its suit systems as a coordinated kit rather than as independently selected products. This means the coverage transitions, attachment geometry, and operational compatibility are designed in rather than assumed.
HG-HMAT Riot Helmet
The HG-HMAT helmet provides full-coverage head protection with a positive-retention face shield mechanism and internal padding designed for sustained wear. The helmet integrates with the collar and shoulder coverage of Haven Gear suit systems to create continuous protection from crown to chest. Anti-fog face shield treatment addresses the most common operational complaint in riot helmet evaluations.
Glove Configurations
Three configurations cover the full operational range: Iron Man, Hard Knuckle, and Soft Knuckle. Iron Man provides maximum hand and knuckle protection for high-impact scenarios. Hard Knuckle balances protection and dexterity for general crowd control operations. Soft Knuckle maintains fine motor capability for assignments requiring precise hand function. All three integrate with Haven Gear suit sleeve coverage to close the wrist exposure point.
Polycarbonate Shields and Batons
Haven Gear's shields use 4mm Paulson polycarbonate for optical clarity and impact resistance. The baton lineup includes 24-inch tonfa, 28-inch straight, and 34-inch straight configurations appropriate for different operational roles. Standardizing on these products across a unit means consistent training transfer and simplified logistics. PoliceOne has documented the logistics benefits of within-unit accessory standardization in equipment program assessments.
Bags and Transport
The XL bag is designed to transport a full shield along with the rest of the kit. The standard gear bag handles the suit and accessory complement without the shield. Having the right bag for the intended transport configuration keeps gear organized, reduces donning time, and protects equipment in transit. Both bags are designed around Haven Gear product dimensions, which means they actually fit the gear they are designed to carry.
