FMA FAST Ballistic High Cut Helmet Upgraded 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 FMA FAST ballistic helmet, launched by FMA, adopts the classic configuration of OCC suspension and VAS SHROUD. Every detail is meticulously restored to ensure both appearance and user comfort. FMA's OCC suspension, including the knob's feel, the skin-friendly nylon straps, and the EPP LDV cotton material of the internal padding, have undergone years of development and refinement. Moreover, this FMA helmet has obtained international CE certification for safety impact and has undergone practical tests for ballistic protection, making it a truly practical ballistic helmet with real-world applications. It is fundamentally different from some other "appearance" products on the market. FMA conducts regular safety and random sampling tests on all helmet series, which is why this ballistic helmet has a large number of official users, although they cannot be publicly disclosed due to confidentiality reasons.
l FMA has launched an upgraded version of the previous ballistic FAST helmet. This version is made with better materials and helmet craftsmanship, achieving a ballistic protection level that meets the US ballistic standard NIJ 0101.06-IIIA and China's GA 141-2010 GA3. The overall weight of the helmet is controlled at around 1.55kg, which can be considered as a further improvement in terms of protection. However, the comfort and functionality still maintain FMA's consistent quality. This upgraded version of the FAST ballistic helmet can still be equipped with a wide range of FMA accessories, providing users with diverse choices.
l The FMA FAST ballistic high-cut helmet is made of aramid material, achieving a balance between weight and performance. It meets the relevant regulations and standards in terms of low visibility processing and safety performance. In terms of comfort, it meets high industry standards in terms of impact resistance and breathability due to the combination of high-quality EPP foam and LDV cotton. The OCC suspension system, which directly contacts the skin, has undergone three generations of product iterations, achieving a balance between flexibility and firmness. The shell of the helmet is equipped with the FAST series Velcro, meeting the personalized or identification needs of users. The front night vision device base and the elastic cord extending from the left and right sides of the helmet ensure the safety and stability of your night vision equipment. Users can also freely choose and replace other styles of Velcro, suspension systems, or night vision device bases to fully meet their precise needs. It can be said that the FMA FAST ballistic high-cut helmet is the best choice for users purchasing FAST ballistic helmets.
