INTRODUCTION ABOUT YOUR OPS-CORE FAST SF HELMET The FAST SF Ballistic and Non-Ballistic helmet systems are the newest and lightest weight helmet systems from Ops-Core. These helmet systems introduce the latest innovations in materials, alongside new and improved system components, to provide a lightweight, modular, and scalable design. All components used in the SF helmet systems are compatible with legacy FAST platforms.
SIZING GUIDE FAST helmets have been designed from the ground up to fit the largest group of users in helmet sizes that most closely match their heads. However, there is still a small percentage of users that will not fit our standard sizing configurations.
