Fragmentation Performance Fragment Simulating Projectile: 17 gr (1.1 g), .22-caliber FSP Reported V50: 2,192 ft/s (668.1 m/s) Highest Partial Penetration: 2,212 ft/s (674.2 m/s) Lowest Complete Penetration: 2,172 ft/s (662.0 m/s) Fragmentation performance should only be stated when supported by a valid test report for the exact helmet model, shell material and construction. Wendy-Style Suspension System The Wendy-style suspension system uses a rear adjustment dial to provide a more secure and personalized fit. Turning the dial allows the wearer to tighten or loosen the suspension without removing the helmet. The padded liner helps distribute pressure across multiple contact points, while the adjustable retention straps help keep the helmet centered during movement. This system is intended to improve stability and comfort during extended wear. “Wendy-style” describes the suspension design and does not imply manufacture, endorsement or affiliation with Team Wendy®. High-Cut Design and Communication Clearance The FAST high-cut shell provides additional space around the ears compared with full-cut helmet designs. This improves compatibility with selected tactical communication headsets, electronic hearing protection and rail-mounted headset adapters. Compatibility can vary depending on the headset, adapter and rail configuration. Confirm accessory fit before operational use. Modular Accessory Platform The helmet includes a modular platform for compatible tactical equipment: Side rails for lights, cameras and headset adapters Front shroud for compatible NVG mounts Retention bungees for stabilizing mounted equipment Hook-and-loop panels for identification patches, markers and accessories Accessories shown in promotional images may not be included unless specifically listed in the package contents. Fit and Sizing Available head circumference range: L: 21.6–23.2 in (55–59 cm) XL: 23.2–24.8 in (59–63 cm) To measure your head, place a flexible measuring tape around the widest part of the head, approximately one inch above the eyebrows and ears. Keep the tape level and select the size that includes your measurement. For a proper fit: Place the helmet level on the head. Adjust the liner and suspension position. Tighten the rear adjustment dial gradually. Center and tighten the four-point chinstrap. Check that the helmet remains stable without creating excessive pressure. Package Includes FAST High Cut UHMWPE Ballistic Helmet Wendy-style dial-adjustable suspension system Padded comfort liner Adjustable four-point chinstrap Quick-release buckle Integrated side accessory rails Front NVG shroud Retention bungees Hook-and-loop exterior panels Product documentation Lights, cameras, communication headsets, night-vision equipment and other accessories are not included unless stated separately. Care and Inspection Clean the shell using a soft, damp cloth. Clean removable pads according to the supplied care instructions. Do not use bleach, solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Keep the helmet away from prolonged heat and direct sunlight. Store it in a cool, dry and ventilated environment. Inspect the shell, edge seal, rails, shroud, straps, buckle, dial and padding before use. Stop using the helmet if cracks, deformation, delamination or other structural damage is visible. Replace the helmet after a ballistic impact, even if external damage appears limited. Do not drill, cut, paint or otherwise modify the ballistic shell. Only use compatible accessories that do not interfere with the helmet’s fit or retention system. Threat Rating and Standard This helmet is tested in accordance with NIJ Standard 0106.01 for Level IIIA ballistic performance against the specified handgun threats: 9 mm, 115 gr at 1,400 ft/s (428 m/s) .357 SIG FMJ FN at 1,430 ft/s (435.8 m/s) Testing evaluates ballistic penetration resistance under controlled laboratory conditions. Fragmentation performance is evaluated separately using the specified fragment-simulating projectile and test conditions. Level IIIA is a handgun-rated protection level. This helmet is not rated to defeat rifle threats, including 5.56×45 mm, 7.62×39 mm or 7.62×51 mm ammunition. Ballistic performance is threat-specific and applies only to the tested model, material, construction and test conditions. No protective helmet can eliminate every risk of penetration, blunt-force trauma, fragmentation injury or death.
