ops-core^® FAST - Ballistic Helmet

ops-core^® manufacture cutting-edge products and components integral to equipment used by the military and sporting goods industries. The human brain, eyes and ears are highly evolved to sense and react instantaneously. Yet with the advent of new technologies to enhance these senses and increase awareness, today's soldier has been burdened by an excessive amount of equipment to carry on the head. Traditional military helmets were never intended for this purpose and therefore provide a "solution" that is uncomfortable, unstable and often compromises the very senses it is trying to protect.

The ops-core^® FAST ballistic helmet has the same amount of head coverage and size as a MICH 2002 "GUN-Fighter" model (MICH = Modular Integrated Communications Helmet). The FAST helmet is lightweight, multi-impact, has ventilated liner with repositionable EPP impact pads and LDV closed-cell comfort foam that is not affected by temperature, altitude or moisture. The integrated head-Loc chinstrap retention system gives helmet 4x more stability than standard issue ACH helmet suspension / retention products (ACH = Advanced Combat Helmet). The FAST helmet comes with standard MARSOC / WARCOM 3-hole pattern and allows to mount the ops-core^® VAS Shroud (sold separately), so the FAST helmet is compatible with front mount visors, flashlights and other visual enhancement devices.

Ballistic protection

-

NIJ - IIIA and US Army - ACH Specification Due to differences in shell shape, edge cut and the lack of "ear bulge" features, the FAST helmet does not have the same amount of head coverage and subsequent performance characteristics as the "full-cut" ACH (for which the specification was written). It does meet all of the requirements listed below.
