Light, great helmet
Awesome helmet, Wilcox G-24 mount locks securely on shroud. Only issue was I bought the wrong size. I went off measurements from Gentex/Ops Core website. Hopefully no issues with getting the right size and exchange through HCC. HCC is squared away on previous orders.

authentic
was a little skeptical of the legitimacy of this product for whatever reason, probably due to lack of reviews and not much about them on the internet. 100% real and authentic ops core sf. great purchase and save some money vs opscore website
HCC Tactical
Thank you so much. We look forward to serving you in the future.

PASGT, MICH and FAST SF.... Mind blown
I've yet to use this in an operational capacity, but from my short time with the FAST SF I already know my situational awareness will greatly benefit from having a much lighter and higher cut helmet. If those weren't good enough reasons, then the suspension/padding system is the difference between comfortable and alert to swollen and distracted like the old PASGT and even the MICH. Worth the money...? Hopefully that moment will never come to say. Am I worth the investment...? I would like to believe so.

Outstanding helmet
This helmet is the best of the best. Hands down. It is light, balanced, and just all around a solid helmet. If in between sizes go with the bigger size helmet. Could wear this helmet cutting the lawn its so comfortable with the lux liner. Best helmet I’ve ever owned.

OPSCORE FAST SF
Hands down the best helmet i have ever owned and the lightest. Build quality its excellent, exactly what you would expect from OPSCORE. I own other OPSCORE ballistic helemts and this FAST SF is superior in everyway. Great buy wearable all day eith no hot spots, you will not regret this purchase.
