The new Ops-Core FAST® XP Helmet System builds on the pedigree of its predecessor with a ballistic shell available in both High and Mid Cut, now fully certified to NIJ IIIA and HG2 standards. It also features the LOCKDOWN™ Liner and the Head-Loc® Flex chinstrap to enhance fit, comfort, and stability.
Key Features
- Provides ballistic protection against 9mm and .44 Magnum rounds (1400 ft/s), full NIJ IIIA and HG2 certification, and enhanced fragmentation protection.
- LOCKDOWN Liner System incorporates a user-customizable suspension system with multiple strategically placed pads, encouraging airflow. The LOCKDOWN Comfort Liner, featuring moisture-wicking fabric and reticulated foam, offers adaptable density for diverse head shapes and comfortably supports heavy VAS and NVG systems.
- LOCKDOWN conformable nape pad and cable Occ-Dial® offer enhanced stability, securing a larger contact area on the rear of the user's head, adapting to individual contours for an improved fit compared to other, more rigid systems.
- LOCKDOWN cable system enables an interference-free fit with headband communication systems.
- Head-Loc Flex retention system introduces a unique convertible chin cup that can be worn either over or under the chin, eliminating the need for a mask extender with the 02 and CBRN kit for most users.
- POWERPATH ARC™ Rail system provides a lightweight mounting solution for Ops-Core headborne systems and features a unique, behind the rail channel for the safe routing of NVG cables.
- Lightweight Modular Bungee Shroud (MBS) reduces snag hazards and features carabiner clips to improve NVG retention and stability while reducing interference with other rail-mounted accessories.
- External VELCRO® Brand loop kit allows for quick and easy attachment and detachment of headborne accessories.
- Available in both High and Mid Cut shell variants.
