Ops-Core FAST SF Next Generation Headborne System L - Ranger Green

The Ops‑Core FAST SF Next Generation Headborne System represents the pinnacle of modern ballistic helmet engineering—lighter, more comfortable, and more capable than any FAST SF system before it. Built for elite military and law‑enforcement professionals, this next‑gen platform delivers uncompromising protection with a dramatic reduction in overall system weight, thanks to three major advancements: the next‑generation FAST SF ballistic shell, the LockDown™ Liner System, and the Head‑Loc® Flex retention system.

With a shell weight of just 1.23 lbs (557 g, Size L), the FAST SF maintains full NIJ‑rated ballistic protection against 9mm threats at 1200 ft/s while reducing system weight by 10%. The new LockDown Liner provides a customizable suspension system with strategically placed pads that enhance airflow, wick moisture, and deliver exceptional stability for heavy VAS and NVG setups. A conformable nape pad and Cable Occ‑Dial® expand the contact area at the rear of the head, improving comfort and retention under movement.

The redesigned Head‑Loc Flex retention system introduces a convertible chin cup that can be worn over or under the chin—eliminating the need for mask extenders with most O2 and CBRN systems. The PowerPath™ ARC Rail system offers a lightweight, secure mounting interface with behind‑the‑rail cable routing to reduce snag hazards, while the Modular Bungee Shroud (MBS) improves NVG stability and retention.
