Ops-Core FAST Helmets (Aka High-Cut)

The FAST® family of hybrid composite helmets is the most advanced yet. The newest and lightest ballistic helmet, the FAST SF, boasts top-of-the-line accessories while providing a comfortable fit that accommodates comms headsets. The high-cut trim design of both the FAST XP high-cut and FAST LE offers more coverage compared to the SF.

However, this comes with slightly increased weight in exchange for enhanced ballistics protection. For those looking for extra security against handgun threats, then look no further than the NIJ-compliant FAST LE—a favorite choice among law enforcement personnel!

Ops-Core SENTRY Helmets (Aka Mid-Cut)

The Sentry helmet is a lightweight and agile protective shield, based on the FAST helmet geometry. It will provide you with the same ballistic safety as an ACH helmet, but with increased coverage area to create additional protection. Ops-Core ARC Rails and Skeleton Shroud allow for personalized customization according to mission requirements, offering XP or LE levels of defense. With this revolutionary design from SENTRY™, your head is guarded against harm like never before!
