Description

The FAST helmet series is characteristic for its shell shape – ear cut geometry which extends critical coverage over the rear occipital bone without load carrier interference, and optimizes weight distribution for increased stability, integration, balance, and improved comfort. Along with the cut, the helmet is distinctive by one of its primary design features including the various suspension and retention systems, and the ARC rails similar to picatinny rails enable users to mount different items like helmet lights and cameras.

Compared to standard combat helmets, the FAST helmet offers up to 25% weight reduction and is notable for its early use of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fibers (UHMWPE) in its design, lightweight yet strong enough to resist the stated threat levels.

The helmet is modular and allows outside features such as wearing communications headsets which can be attached with rail adapters and the likes as well as camera, flash lights and ear defence.

The helmet will take all accessories such as camera, night vision, torch, headphones etc protection in a combination as well as own.

It was developed by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory in collaboration with the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center and the Program Executive Office (PEO) Soldier as part of the Army Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Program.

The name FAST helmet was coined by a manufacturing company called Ops-Core in 2005. In 2008, Ops-Core showed off their prototype helmet with their Head-Loc™ Retention System (a.k.a. Head-Loc Retention System) at the 2008 SHOT SHOW convention.

The helmet was publicly revealed in 2009 at the annual SHOT Show. It was issued to U.S. special forces operators deployed in Afghanistan.

Our FAST Helmets are NIJ 0101.06 NIJ Level IIIA as a minimum.
