The Ops-Core FAST RF1, part of the FAST ballistic protective helmet family, is the newest generation of innovative head-borne protection. At an average of 3.5 lbs, it is the lightest weight helmet system to offer protection from 7.62x39mm projectiles, in addition to frag and handgun protection. The FAST RF1 integrates with Ops-Core total head-borne system solutions, including situational awareness, optics, and respiratory protection.
- Industry-leading ballistic protection against small arms threats.
- High-cut, ballistic shell made of a hybrid composite of the most advanced Carbon, Unidirectional Polyethylene, and woven Aramid.
- High-cut shell geometry extends critical coverage over the rear occipital lobe without load carrier interference and optimizes weight distribution for increased stability, integration, balance, and comfort.
- Ear cut geometry is 16 mm higher than the FAST XP High Cut shell shape, allowing larger headset-style communication devices to be cleared.
- High Cut Skeleton Rails offer a lower profile with a 30% weight reduction from FAST MT Super High Cut Rails.
- Features a lightweight Modular Bungee Shroud (MBS), reducing snag hazards and interference. Integrated carabiner clips improve NVG retention and stability, and reduce interference with rail-mounted accessories.
- Molded liner features a proprietary recessed groove, accommodating over-the-head communications headsets with no interference or user discomfort, and the ability to doff and don the helmet without removing the headset.
- The helmet interior features an expanded polypropylene (EPP) liner, offering enhanced impact protection, and molded-in vent holes provide increased airflow and reduce heat stress.
- Sizes Available: M, L, XL, XXL
- Colors Available: Black, Tan 499, Ranger Green, Urban Gray, MultiCam
- Suspension and Retention: Vented Lux Liner with Low Profile Occ-Dial and Head-Loc Retention System
