FMA FAST Carbon ABS simplified version
l The translation of FAST helmet is Future Assault Shell Technology Helmet. It first appeared at the SHOT SHOW exhibition in 2008. The core technology of this helmet was developed in collaboration with the US military's technology center and GENTEX company. The following year, it was adopted by special forces operating in Afghanistan. The widespread use of UHMWPE ( ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fibers), which is the first appearance of this material in bulletproof products, can be attributed to the innovation of the FAST helmet. The introduction of FAST helmet has changed the situation of helmet usage in special forces units worldwide. Currently, almost all elite units in the world are users of FAST helmets. One of the new concepts introduced by the FAST helmet is to turn the helmet into a platform that can carry all the necessary equipment for missions, including night vision devices, thermal imaging, noise-canceling communication headphones, identification lights, and flag patches. This helmet serves as a base, and there are also a wide range of expandable accessories and functions available, including face shields, visors, and counterweight packs. After more than a decade of development, the FAST helmet has evolved to include ballistic and non-ballistic versions, with three major branches and dozens of sub-models, as well as numerous specialized or compatible accessories.
l As a classic FAST helmet, it is actually composed of three parts: the helmet shell, the night vision device base, and the side ARC rail suspension. The FAST Classic High Cut actually has seven different versions with different materials and performance, but there is not much difference in appearance. The first main difference between versions is the night vision device base. The FAST Classic High Cut has used two versions of the night vision device base: VAS and Skeleton skeleton. The side ARC rail has remained a stable and classic design. The suspension system of the FAST helmet has been evolving, and currently, the classic FAST helmet can be equipped with three suspensions: H-NAPE, LUX-OCC suspension, and LUX-WORM suspension. However, the most classic version is still the one with VAS night vision device base and OCC suspension.
l The FAST Carbon helmet can be said to be the largest in terms of actual quantity in the FAST series of equipment. It is widely used in training and general missions by various special units. With its excellent helmet design and the good performance of carbon fiber itself, the FAST Carbon helmet has the same compatibility with accessories as the bulletproof FAST helmet and excellent impact resistance, making it particularly suitable for use in water missions, rugged terrain missions, and training missions. It can be said that this helmet is the optimal choice when bulletproof performance is not the top priority, which is why it is currently the most widely used FAST helmet.
l The FMA FAST Carbon Helmet ABS version, launched by FMA, has been favored by many users over the years. It is a perfect match for the carbon fiber version in terms of weight and impact resistance. With the support of FMA's high-quality injection molding technology, the helmet has obtained international CE certification. As a flagship product, FMA regularly conducts sampling tests and iterative improvements on its own products, which sets it apart from some "appearance" product vendors.
l The FMA FAST Carbon Helmet ABS simplified version features the first-generation FMA VAS night vision device base, ACH-style X-shaped four-point suspension, and ACH-style helmet pads. The ACH-compatible suspension achieves the optimal balance between comfort and cost-effectiveness, while simplifying some adjustment operations. This helmet can be considered the best choice for users who prioritize cost-effectiveness and a certain level of protection. The helmet body is made of perforated ABS material, similar to the FMA FAST Carbon Helmet ABS version. Although this helmet offers the highest cost-effectiveness, it does not compromise on performance. FMA provides users with a variety of options. Users can purchase this helmet and replace various accessories, such as the EX-style helmet suspension, "Yunlin" helmet pads, and MBS-style night vision device base. This provides a new solution for personalized preferences and diverse needs.
