The woven Aramid fibers are also highly versatile, providing an additional layer of reinforcement while remaining lightweight and flexible.

The helmet weighs about 900 grams in pure weight(size L ), which is ridiculously light. It's the most comfortable of all helmets I've ever used, and it's comfortable even with NVG. And you can check the inventory in real time and the delivery is fast. And the candy gift was quite fun
Hi John, we're thrilled to hear you love the helmet's lightness and comfort! Thanks for sharing your experience and for your kind words. Enjoy your new gear!
M
Atomic defense came through big on this one. Instead of waiting 6-8 weeks I was able to get my helmet within a week and a half. I can't say enough good things about the experience. I highly recommend.
Hi Michael, we're thrilled to hear you had a great experience and received your helmet quickly! Thanks so much for your recommendation. Stay safe!

As the title indicates, the OpsCore and other high end products cost more however, you get what you pay for. The Fit, Finish, and Materials on this Next Gen OpSCore are outstanding. The XL size will probably be the standard for most guys and there are many pad options and internal adjustment mechanism on the helmet. The weight is so light you almost think it's a bump helmet (no joke). The pain job is excellent and not shiny like in the photos (advertisement), it's matte. If you want the Ferrari of helmets the Gen 2 OpsCore is the way to go! *The Wilcox Mount is not standard*
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review of our Ops-Core FAST SF Gen 2 Helmet. We're glad to hear that the fit, finish, and materials met your expectations and that you appreciate the lightweight design. We also appreciate your mention of the different pad options and internal adjustment mechanism. As for the Wilcox Mount, we do offer it as an additional option for those who may need it. Thank you for choosing Ops-Core and we hope you continue to enjoy your Gen 2 helmet.

Fit great right out the box, quality is what you would expect from a reputable company like Ops Core. Would recommend to anyone looking into purchasing a helmet. Save up the cash, don't cheap out on life saving equipment
Hi there Bryan,
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Ops-Core FAST SF helmet. We're thrilled to hear that it fit perfectly and met your expectations for quality. Your recommendation means a lot to us and we couldn't agree more - investing in life saving equipment is always worth it. We appreciate your support and wish you all the best.

not only do I have protection from fragmentation and most pistol calibers but it also came with a snack. Added my peltor comtac V’s, once I adjusted the pads lt was a perfect fit (bought the XL, if your head measures 23-1/2” to 24” it’ll fit perfectly) didn’t want to pay 130 bucks for a helmet cover so I just spray painted the helmet the GWOT snakeskin pattern using the laundry bag trick like I did overseas and always got yelled at and smoked over. The fast SF is super comfortable compared to the ACH, ran 3 miles with the helmet in full kit and it got a little warm but not to bad, pads don’t seem to soak up sweat nearly as much as others I’ve used. Don’t bother with the rifle rated helmets, the fast SF offers the most protection with the least amount of weight. Let’s face it if a helmet rated for faster calibers like 7.62x39, and if that hits you in the head you’re probably gonna die anyway from the force alone. Might as well save your discs and settle for more mobility and less protection. Atomic defense was also nice enough to include a PVC patch and skittles which was awesome, they had good communication with the purchase as well especially when I decided I wanted the tan instead of the green. Also Purchased the helmet through affirm which is nice not having to break the bank but now I can train and Larp without being broke. Shipping was prompt and I got it in about a week with a weekend inbetween. Thanks guys!
A classy individual right here!

Overall shipping was lengthy but that’s to be expected, I would order in advance to when you would expect the helmet to arrive. They are built to order. If you want updates regularly just shoot atomic defense a message they alway respond quickly and answer any questions you have and can clarify. Just be patient and your helmet will arrive

Helmet was shipped quickly. Customer support was very responsive with answering all questions on when the helmet would be shipped. Having live inventory on the website is extremely nice. The helmet is as described. Compared to my older maritime, the helmet fits true to size, the updated head loc chin strap is rock solid and I am a huge fan of being able to run the chin strap on or under the chin. The lockdown liner is a huge upgrade compared to the older lux liner. Yes these are expensive, but you pay for you the quality. I will always recommend an Ops Core helmet to anyone in the market to buy one.

I purchased the medium Opscore FAST SF and it fits my small head perfectly. Previously I had a Wendy small/medium bump. That was way too big. I could fit my entire hand in the back of the helmet once the BOA was tightened down. The OpScore ballistic feels lighter on my head than my previous bump helmet. Atomic defense also did a great job with shipping out my order. No delays.
