FMA FAST Classic High Cut Helmet Carbon 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 Carbon 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 Carbon High Cut Helmet, launched by FMA, adopts the classic configuration of OCC suspension and VAS SHRPUD. Every detail is restored as much as possible, and on the basis of ensuring the appearance, the user's comfort is maximized. The OCC suspension introduced by FMA has been developed and refined over many years, with a smooth knob feel, skin-friendly nylon straps, and EPP+LDV cotton material for the internal padding. FMA's helmet products have obtained international CE certification for safety and impact resistance, making them truly practical safety helmets with real-world applications. They are fundamentally different from some other "appearance" products on the market. FMA's helmet series undergo regular safety testing and sampling, so this classic helmet actually has a large number of official users and supporters, but due to confidentiality reasons, they cannot be publicly disclosed.
l As we all know, carbon fiber has superior performance in terms of high and low temperature resistance and impact resistance, so it has always been the most common advanced material in outdoor products. The carbon fiber version of the FAST high-cut helmet introduced by FMA is a new attempt, maintaining the overall protective performance of the FAST helmet with a non-vent design, but replacing the material with high-performance carbon fiber. It is lighter in weight and has better performance.
l The FMA FAST Classic High Cut Helmet Carbon Version is made of lightweight carbon fiber, achieving new heights in weight and impact resistance. In terms of appearance, it meets relevant regulations and standards for low visibility treatment and safety performance. In terms of comfort, it combines high-quality EPP foam LDV cotton to achieve high standards in impact resistance and breathability. The OCC suspension directly contacts the skin with nylon straps. FMA has gone through three generations of product iterations, and the current version achieves 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 can perfectly secure your night vision equipment. Users can also freely choose and replace other styles of Velcro, suspension, or night vision device bases to fully meet their precise needs. It can be said that this FMA FAST Carbon Fiber High Cut Helmet is the best choice for users purchasing FAST non-ballistic helmets.
