Ops-Core Maritime - Features & Specifications:
- 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.
