- The Ops Core FAST XP is a protective helmet built for high-stakes missions. It offers stronger protection against faster 9mm pistol rounds, giving you a key safety advantage when it matters most. Made for military and law enforcement professionals, this helmet keeps you safe without slowing you down.
- Stops Faster 9mm Pistol Rounds: Made with a thicker shell, this helmet protects against 9mm bullets traveling up to 1,400 ft/s. This provides better protection from higher-velocity handgun threats compared to other lightweight helmets.
- A Secure, Stable Fit for Hours: The helmet stays comfortable and cool with a Vented Lux Liner. Its Head-Loc chinstrap and Occ-Dial fitband ensure the helmet remains stable and secure, even when you're moving fast or using night vision gear.
- Ready for All Your Gear: The PowerPath ARC Rail system lets you easily attach lights, communications, and other accessories. A special groove allows you to wear over-the-head headsets comfortably without needing to remove them to take the helmet off.

Ops Core FAST XP Review
What are some common accessories to add to the Ops Core Fast XP high-cut helmet?
Hearing Protection & Comms Integration for the Ops-Core FAST XP
- Ops Core AMP Headset: Provides mission-critical hearing protection and clear communication that integrates directly with the FAST XP helmet. When paired with AMP Arms, the headset mounts to the helmet's rail system, offering a stable, low-profile solution that works in tandem with the helmet's comfort and retention systems.
- Ops Core AMP Arms: The primary method for attaching the AMP Headset directly to the FAST XP's PowerPath ARC Rail system. This integration enhances operator efficiency by allowing the headset to be sealed or unsealed from the ears with one hand, improving stability and eliminating interference from over-the-head bands.
Up-Armor & Facial Protection for the Ops-Core FAST XP
- Ops Core Ballistic Mandible: Enhances operator safety by adding a layer of ballistic protection to the lower face and jaw. The mandible attaches securely to the lower dovetail on the FAST XP's ARC rails, turning the helmet into a more comprehensive protective system against ballistic fragmentation and blunt impact threats.
Ops Core XP Features & Specifications
The Ops Core FAST XP helmet delivers an essential advantage in high-threat situations by providing enhanced protection against higher velocity pistol rounds.

This OpsCore FAST XP helmet is not just about superior protection; it is a complete platform designed for the modern operator, featuring a stable and comfortable fit for extended wear and a rail system ready to integrate seamlessly with mission-critical accessories like night vision and communications gear.

Ops Core FAST XP FAQs
What makes the FAST XP helmet special?
The OpsCore XP is special because it has a slightly thicker shell than other FAST models like the SF. This thicker shell gives it extra protection, allowing it to stop higher-velocity 9mm pistol rounds. It offers more safety in exchange for a small increase in weight.
What does NIJ Level IIIA protection mean?
This is a standard rating for body armor. It means the FAST XP is tested and proven to protect you from specific handgun threats, including 9mm Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) bullets traveling at speeds up to 1,400 feet per second.
What are the rails on the side of the helmet for?
Those are called PowerPath ARC Rails. They are a secure mounting system that lets you attach important gear directly to your helmet. This can include lights, cameras, and other communication equipment you might need.
Is the helmet comfortable to wear all day?
Yes, it's designed for comfort during long missions. It includes a Vented Lux Liner, which is soft padding that allows air to flow and keep your head cool. It also has an Occ-Dial fitband and a Head-Loc chinstrap, which let you tighten the helmet for a perfect, stable fit so it doesn't move or wobble.
Why is the helmet cut high around the ears?
This design is called "High Cut". It's made that way to make it easier to wear over-the-head communication headsets or hearing protection. The helmet even has a special recessed groove to make sure your headset fits comfortably without any pressure.
Where can I purchase the Ops-Core FAST XP?
The Ops-Core FAST XP is available through trusted and authorized dealers of Ops-Core products, such as Atomic Defense. As an authorized dealer, Atomic Defense offers knowledgeable customer service to provide expert guidance on the helmet's specifications and features.
