The FAST or high-cut advanced combat helmet (ACH) offers above-the-ear (ATE) protection, and is tested by an independent laboratory to NIJ III specs – it will stop a .44 magnum.

Made from DuPont™ Kevlar® with a front aluminum shroud designed to fit most ballistic helmet accessories, the ballistic helmet weight is 3 lb. 4 oz. before accessories or customizations.

The polymer side rails, fully adjustable padded dial suspension system, and re-positionable closed-cell padding system work together to make this helmet both functional and comfortable. The side rails feature night vision goggle retention (NVG) bungee cords, and the aluminum front shroud accommodates most combat use cases.

NIJ LEVEL TEST RESULTS

All helmets are tested to NIJ standards. And because we take your protection seriously, we do our own testing too. Every helmet from every batch is hand-inspected for quality, and a random helmet is selected for field testing. If we wouldn't trust it, we won't sell it.

PS:These helmets are on clearance sale; the helmet shape is accurate, but the NVG mount and Velcro patches are included at random! If this is a concern for you, you can purchase the latest 2026 model helmet.
