DETAILS:
Proven Ballistic Protection – Built for Law Enforcement, Qualified for Military Use
Certified to NIJ IIIA and HG2 standards, the helmet provides trusted protection against 9mm and .44 Magnum threats while delivering enhanced fragmentation performance. Going beyond NIJ requirements, Gentex validates every helmet size through comprehensive military testing protocols, including exposure to ambient, hot, cold, wet, and high-altitude environmental conditions. This expanded qualification ensures the FAST XP Helmet System meets the demands of law enforcement, special response and tactical teams, and military users operating in dynamic, high-risk environments.
Comfort, Stability, and Confidence for Long Shifts
Designed for extended wear, the FAST XP Helmet System features the Ops-Core LockDown® Liner, a user-adjustable suspension system that helps manage heat, moisture, and fatigue during long shifts and high-stress operations. Moisture-wicking fabrics and integrated airflow channels keep officers cooler and more comfortable, while the conformable nape pad and cable-driven Occ-Dial® suspension system provide a secure, stable fit when running radios, NVGs, and VAS commonly used in law-enforcement missions.
One Helmet. Multiple Law-Enforcement Roles.
The Head-Loc® FLEX retention system is designed to adapt across patrol, SWAT, CID, and CBRN use cases without the need for additional helmet configurations. A convertible chin cup can be worn over or under the chin and reduces the need for mask extenders, enabling agencies to field a single, versatile helmet platform across diverse operational requirements.
Integrated for Modern Law-Enforcement Systems
The PowerPath® ARC Rail enables secure, low-profile mounting of mission-critical accessories, while behind-the-rail cable routing helps reduce snag hazards and keeps communications and power cables organized. A Modular Bungee Shroud enhances NVG stability while minimizing interference with rail-mounted equipment in dynamic law-enforcement environments.
