system requirements.

Our core innovation – Integrated Modular Design – has given rise to

high-cut architecture helmet systems that feature performance-
enhancing components, such as the Modular Bungee Shroud (MBS)
and our PowerPath™ ARC Rails, which can be configured quickly and
easily kitted for any operation type. This means the wearer can focus
on the mission, not the helmet or its components.

Open Architecture is one of the keys to this advancement,

which helps deliver maximum flexibility and forward compatibility
and allows our products to integrate seamlessly with Ops-Core®
and third-party components. The result? Individual customization
that aligns with the wearer’s specific needs.

What to Consider in Helmet Selection

Outside of your weapon, your helmet is the one item that will stick with you the longest. This means choosing the correct headborne solution is not only mission-
critical – it is also highly personal. At the locker or in the meeting room, helmet kitting is, understandably, a frequently discussed topic. After all, lives depend on
the right configuration decisions. To help, our experts break the essential elements you should consider into three distinct categories:

PROTECTION
Protection: Knowing you have a helmet capable of protecting you against the most likely threat level is one of the key considerations in helmet selection. When it comes to
protection, the Ops-Core FAST® helmet line offers a wide variety of choices for a wide variety of threats – from blunt force trauma to 7.62x39mm mild steel core rifle rounds.
Our helmets meet or exceed their advertised testing standards. And it doesn’t stop there. We test all FAST helmet sizes as part of our standard testing process, once again setting
Ops-Core apart from the competition.

POUNDS
Pounds: Helmet weight will always be subordinate to helmet protection, but it should remain a top consideration, nonetheless. Weight determination is often a function of mission
needs and duration, but the accessories necessary for configuration should also be a factor. After all, helmet kitting is key to mission success and therefore should be part of the
decision-making process.

PRICE
Price: While safety should never be sacrificed for price, budgets are a reality in helmet selection and decision-making. As the premium product in the market, Ops-Core helmet
systems offer tremendous value and a tremendous pedigree. Ops-Core FAST helmets adhere to critical design standards and are consistent in material and build quality. There’s
a reason FAST helmets have been the top choice for Tier 1 military and law enforcement operators stateside and overseas for more than a decade. Our best-in-class testing
surpasses the typical “pass/fail” industry standard. This, along with our constant pursuit of perfection and innovation, has given Ops-Core a reputation for excellence, and we work
hard to maintain it.

FIT OVERVIEW Fit: After the FAST helmet is selected, a good fit should be the next highest priority, which means a focus on sizing.
A well-fitting helmet will be comfortable and secure, provide full head movement without slippage, and be free of
pinching or tightness. Small issues with fit will become magnified the longer the helmet is worn especially when heavier
accessories such as NVGs are added. Scan the QR code to watch a video illustrating proper helmet fitting.

to a sliding rack and dropped onto an anvil. Two drops at each of seven locations on the helmet while under three

ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING
Gentex derives its tests from the toughest standardized military requirements. To test submersion, helmets are soaked in water for 12 hours.
For temperature tolerance, helmets are subjected to heat at 160F/71C, ambient temperature, and cold at -40F/-40C. Then, they undergo a
full battery of function, ballistic, and impact tests. Additionally, helmets are tested against caustic and corrosive agents like gasoline, DEET,
salt spray, and petroleum products.
