SIZING GUIDE
FAST helmets have been designed from the ground up to fit the largest group of users in helmet sizes that most closely match their heads. However, there is still a small percentage of users that will not fit our standard sizing configurations. Please use the sizing guide below to determine your helmet size and your chinstrap size. If you require a non-standard chinstrap/helmet configuration, custom solutions are available.

CHINSTRAP SIZING GUIDE
Since people have different shaped heads, helmet size (the size of the top of your head) is not always proportional to the chinstrap size (the size of your face). H-Nape chinstrap is one size fits all.

PRO SETUP
FAST Helmets were designed for professionals who expect the most from their equipment. Just like fine-tuning the suspension on a racecar or sighting in a fire-arm, the helmet must be set up properly before use to function correctly. If you do not follow these instructions, your helmet will not function in accordance with stated performance.
ADJUST THE TOP PADS
• Put the helmet on. All Lux Liner Pads come pre-installed in the helmet.
Worm-Dial Fitband Users:
Turn the Worm-Dial to loosen the Fitband so that all of the helmet weight is resting on top of your head. With the Fitband loose, check how high / low the helmet is sitting.
• All Users: Forehead pad should be above and not resting on the bony ridge of your eyebrows.

Allow the helmet to dry before attempting to place new Velcro onto the shell’s surface.
PLACEMENT PREPARATION
Using the diagram to the right, carefully align Velcro pieces to their proper positions. Test fit all pieces before removing backing. Adhesive on this Velcro is pressure sensitive. Once in place it needs to be pressed down firmly. Please allow up to 24 hours for adhesive to reach maximum bonding strength.

WARNING
7.62
5.56
DOES NOT PROTECT against 7.62 and
5.56 rounds
NOT INTENDED for motor vehicle use
DOES NOT PROTECT from extreme hazards
This helmet provides LIMITED protection for the head and does not offer any protection against neck, spinal, or certain types of brain injuries including those caused by rotational forces. Some hazards can exceed this helmet’s ability to provide protection and could cause severe head, brain, or spinal injuries including paralysis or death.
Remember: the higher the impact velocity, the greater the chance of injury / death. Common sense is the best defense.
SAFETY CHECKLIST:
Inspect the helmet before each use. Make sure the shell, liner pads, plastic hardware, stitching, chinstrap, and fit system components are not damaged, cracked, deformed, loose or showing signs of excessive wear. Do not remove or alter the front, top, or back impact pads. Do not apply paint, solvents, or like products as they could degrade helmet integrity and resulting performance. Replace your helmet if it is subjected to a significant impact since the shell and/or liner pads could be damaged without showing any obvious signs of a problem.
These instructions must be followed by all persons using or maintaining this helmet in order for it to perform as designed. Failure to do so could result in equipment malfunction, serious injury or death.
WARRANTY
The FAST helmet shell is warranted for (5) years from date of purchase against material defects and/or faulty workmanship.

Ops-Core, or for any other cause of action, shall be the repair, replacement, or credit, at Ops-Core’s discretion, of any components or parts thereof, that after examination by Ops-Core are proven to be defective.
If it is determined by Ops-Core that the product’s failure was due to accident, abuse, misuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or normal wear and tear, the product is not covered in this warranty.
Ops-Core shall be released from all obligations under this warranty in the event repairs or modifications are made to any of the parts by persons other than its own service personnel.
