FMA FAST Classic High Cut Helmet Heavy 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 new generation FMA FAST Classic High Cut Helmet Heavy Version launched this time has undergone major upgrades in terms of helmet body. Firstly, the appearance color has been improved to be more suitable for low visibility standards, and improvements have been made in the DE color aspect. This makes the overall texture more authentic. In addition, the helmet body thickness has been upgraded from 3mm to 8mm. The thicker 8mm helmet body can provide users with a more solid feeling, and the resulting protective performance has reached new heights. The thicker helmet body can provide users with more details in all aspects, and also provide better safety effects for users. The suspension still uses the classic OCC suspension upgraded version, and the classic combination of EPP LDV cotton is reliable. Another upgrade is the use of the metal SKELETON night vision device base. The metal SKELETON night vision device base can bring users a more reliable night vision equipment fixing effect in addition to lightweight, and can provide a better experience in detail restoration for users with requirements. FMA uses reliable metal materials, which is completely different from some "appearance-oriented" products. As a professional helmet manufacturer, FMA is dedicated to bringing users a better user experience.
l What is the same as the classic FAST model is the configuration of the ARC rails on both sides and the elastic cords, which can provide users with better stability for their night vision devices. Therefore, this heavyweight version of the helmet is still favored by many professional users and has always been an important supplier to various professional units due to FMA's inability to disclose specific users for protocol reasons. FMA helmets that have undergone international CE certification have a regular safety inspection and sampling inspection. This is a major difference between FMA and some "appearance-oriented" manufacturers. The upgraded FMA OCC suspension has always been a key cooperative project with major competitors. It combines high-quality EPP foam and LDV cotton to achieve high standards in impact resistance and breathability. The nylon strap part of the OCC suspension that directly contacts the skin has undergone three generations of product iterations, and the current version achieves the best balance in terms of flexibility and firmness. The shell of the helmet is equipped with the FAST series Velcro on the outside to meet the personalized or identification needs of users.
