Ops-Core FAST XP Gen 2 High Cut Ballistic Helmet

Ops-Core FAST XP Gen 2 High Cut Helmet

The next-generation FAST XP High Cut is the duty-ready XP platform: a certified NIJ IIIA / HG2 ballistic shell, LockDown liner, and Head-Loc Flex retention in one system. High-cut geometry clears over-ear comms, stays stable under NVGs, and keeps weight in check for long shifts.

This listing is High Cut only. Right-eye dominant. 3-hole Modular Bungee Shroud. PowerPath ARC rails. Sizes Medium through XXL in Black, Tan 499, Ranger Green, and MultiCam.

Why Gen 2

• Certified NIJ 0106.01 with NIJ 0123.00 Level HG2: 9mm FMJ at 1,470 ft/s and .44 Mag JHP at 1,430 ft/s, plus stronger fragmentation performance
• Next-gen composite shell tuned for protection without a heavy, sluggish profile
• Built for patrol, SWAT, and tactical users who run comms, lights, and night vision on the same helmet

LockDown Liner

• User-customizable pads with moisture-wicking fabric and airflow channels
• Conformable nape pad and cable Occ-Dial put more contact on the back of the head
• Holds position under NVGs and VAS during entries, vehicle work, and movement
• Cable routing stays clear of headband comms so the liner does not fight the headset

Head-Loc Flex Retention

• Convertible chin cup wears over or under the chin
• Over-chin for max stability with heavy NVG setups
• Under-chin for comfort and faster O2 / CBRN mask integration
• One-handed Head-Loc sliders; no mask extender needed for most users

Mounting and Integration

• Modular Bungee Shroud: low-profile 3-hole NVG mount with bungee / carabiner retention and fewer snag points
• PowerPath ARC rails: lightweight accessory rails with a behind-the-rail channel for NVG power cables
• High cut: maximum ear clearance for AMP, ComTac, Peltor, and other over-ear headsets
