    The FAST (Future Assault Shell Technology) helmet is a modern tactical helmet widely used by military, law enforcement, and special operations forces. It is designed to provide ballistic protection, modularity, and comfort while incorporating features to accommodate communication devices, accessories, and head-mounted equipment.

    Here are some key features and information about the FAST helmet:

    1. Design and Construction: The FAST helmet has a streamlined design with a high-cut shape that offers protection to the front, sides, and back of the head while providing more clearance around the ears and the base of the skull. It is typically made of advanced ballistic materials such as aramid fibers (e.g., Kevlar) or high-strength polyethylene, ensuring reliable ballistic protection.

    2. Ballistic Protection: FAST helmets are available in various protection levels, commonly meeting or exceeding the NIJ Level IIIA standards, which can effectively stop most handgun rounds. Some models may provide additional protection against rifle rounds, such as NIJ Level III or IV.

    3. Suspension System: The FAST helmet features a suspension system that helps distribute the weight evenly and provides a comfortable fit. This system typically includes adjustable straps, padding, and a chin strap to ensure stability and customization for the wearer.

    4. Modular Accessories: The FAST helmet is designed with accessory rails or attachment points, allowing for the easy integration of various modular components. These include night vision devices, communication systems, helmet-mounted lights, cameras, goggles, face shields, and other mission-specific equipment. The modular design enables customization based on the wearer's requirements.

    5. Ventilation and Comfort: The FAST helmet often incorporates ventilation holes, channels, or padding to enhance airflow and cooling. This helps to prevent overheating and maintain comfort during prolonged use.

    6. Compatibility: The FAST helmet is designed to be compatible with other standard tactical gear, such as ballistic eyewear, masks, and protective face shields. It is also designed to accommodate headsets, microphones, and other communication devices commonly used in the field.

    The term "FAST helmet" has become somewhat generic, and there are several manufacturers producing helmets with similar designs and features. It's important to ensure that the specific FAST helmet model you choose meets the required standards and specifications for your intended use.

    Always refer to the product specifications, consult with professionals, or adhere to the guidelines provided by your organization to ensure that the FAST helmet meets the necessary safety and performance requirements.

      Superb

      Posted by Wade on 11th Mar 2025

      Nick has provided us these helmets for just over 3 years. Time and time again the quality is outstanding, the price is exceptional and the customer service is impeccable. Somehow he's always available for anything we need, he even sent us a helmet to test as we were new to Nick and Princip. Job well done sir.

      Bought a helmet off their Black Friday sales. The price could not be beat. The helmet is quality made and much lighter than what we were issued. Now I just need to find some NVGs.
