GASTONIA, NC –– Premier Body Armor announces the launch of the Fortis Ballistic Helmet Chin Strap Extender - Gas Mask Compatible, a purpose-built accessory that adds 3.5 inches of length to the Fortis helmet’s retention system. Designed in direct response to customer feedback, the low-profile extender creates the clearance needed for a gas mask, respirator, or other facial protection without compromising a secure, stable fit or the helmet’s quick-release function. The extender is in stock now for $13.99.
Built from heavy-duty nylon webbing with reinforced stitching and high-strength polymer hardware, the extender installs in seconds and stays out of the way during movement. A soft brushed interior liner reduces irritation and helps prevent chafing during long wear. The extender ships in black, matching the standard Fortis chin strap across all Fortis Ballistic Helmet colorways. It is purpose-built for the Premier Body Armor Fortis Ballistic Helmet and is a retention accessory; it does not alter ballistic performance.
“Users told us they needed more room in the retention system when they don’t have the option to remove a gas mask,” said Alex Stewart, President of Premier Body Armor. “This extender is a simple, field-ready solution, giving you the extra space you need while keeping the Fortis helmet’s quick-release and stability exactly as designed.”
With a lightweight, low-profile footprint, the Fortis Chin Strap Extender supports operators, first responders, and prepared citizens who may need to don respiratory protection on short notice. The design preserves full quick-release function and integrates cleanly with the existing Fortis hardware for consistent retention and repeatable fit.
