Ops-Core FAST XR High-Cut Helmet System — the lightest mission-configurable high-cut helmet that delivers rifle-rated protection without the weight penalty. Engineered to resist penetration from 7.62×39mm lead-core rounds while remaining comfortable for extended wear, the FAST XR combines advanced shell materials, modular mounting, and best-in-class retention/liner systems for operators who need maximum protection and full accessory compatibility. (Ops-Core lists a 10–12 week lead time — real world waits can be longer, sometimes up to 6 months.)

Why the FAST XR?

  • Rifle-rated protection against 7.62×39mm lead-core threats while also protecting from fragmentation and handgun projectiles.

  • Ultra-light shell (≈ 1.72 lbs / 780 g, Size L) — the lightest helmet available at this protection level for prolonged missions.

  • Mission-configurable: UNITY/NVG shroud, PowerPath™ ARC rails and modular liners let you quickly mount NVGs, comms, lights and other headborne systems.

  • Comfort for long ops — Vented Lux liner with Occ-Dial fitband and breathable EPP impact layers reduce heat stress and improve fit.
