2012 Ops-Core Catalog
After starting the revolution in military headgear almost six years ago, we have relentlessly pursued our focus in providing system level solutions to the modern warfighter. Since every mission and duty position is different, we have not compromised our brand with a one size fits all mentality that typically limits the performance of high quality equipment. This is the reason we offer six different helmet models and over twenty unique accessory lines dedicated to augmenting their functionality. We know our customers are experts in what they do, so we dont try to tell them what they need. Instead, we give them a variety of options to choose from. All meticulously designed to excel at their specific purpose All carefully built to work together in harmony This is an exciting year for Ops-Core with the launch of over ten new products and the backing of our new parent company, Gentex. We have retained our small company vision to support the elite warrior, but have now gained the large company strength to increase our manufacturing capacity. Gentex and Ops-Core have already poured millions into this commitment, with plans to shorten our product lead times to less than sixty days by the end of the year. We are leveraging new synergies with state of the art Gentex electronics, which gives us the bandwidth to add sensory enhancement and communications capabilities to our helmets. The result is a family of fully integrated headborne systems to enhance personal protection and situational awareness for national security forces operating in high performance environments. Countless options for countless missions, one soldier at a time.

LUX LINER
Ops-Cores hybrid suspension / liner design features an adjustable circumferential fitband with repositionable impact pads. The fitband allows the user to precisely adjust the liner shape and size for a customized fit and optimal comfort. Not only can the length, width and overall shape be personalized by simply turning the knob dial, the helmet depth can also be set by adjusting the vertical position of the whole system. This provides a perfect and secure fit that is able to support the weight and moment forces of a helmet in demanding military operations. The liner system is also compatible with a variety of communication headsets and hearing protection devices, including headband style COMMs. The headband slides under the fitband to rest in between the helmets two top impact pads eliminating pressure points and interference that is a common problem with traditional liner systems. The impact pads are also pre-molded to the shape of the head and are not affected by temperature, altitude or moisture.
The Lux Liner is a revolutionary suspension system that combines a one-piece full coverage impact layer with modular, breathable comfort pads. Pads can be repositioned for comfort without affecting impact performance. The Lux Liner system is available with a low profile Worm Dial fitband, or with our proven H-Nape Head-Loc Retention System. The Lux Liner easily retrofits into FAST helmets using the existing Velcro pattern in the shell. Available in S/M, M/L, L/XL sizes. Comfort pads come in two thicknesses.

Retention Systems
The patented Head-Loc Retention System has a unique strap geometry that creates straight force lines to evenly distribute the helmet load on the head. This design eliminates pre-existing slack in the system that causes instability and slipping problems inherent to all other conventional chinstraps. Head-Loc tabs do away with loose strap ends and provide quick and easy one-handed adjustment. They also keep the design low profile, lightweight, and snag free. Combined, these features result in a retention solution that is secure, comfortable and adaptable to a variety of mission scenarios and environmental conditions. When wearing NVGs or conducting rigorous physical activities, the helmet can be stabilized without use of counterweights or other bulky devices, facilitating a high performance head-borne platform that stays put and does not flop around in ways that could be detrimental to the task at hand.
Helmets are worn for extensive periods of time under extreme environmental conditions. The materials selected for helmet components must be able to withstand substantial amounts of wear and tear while also providing consistent protection, comfort and support. These requirements can be contradictory and difficult to achieve and often require innovative solutions with unique combinations of materials and parts. Ops-Core uses different materials carefully designed and chosen to work in combination with one another to provide the desired performance benefits. The resulting components represent just a few of the many ways we are trying to improve the comfort, ventilation, protection and stability of our 2012 products.

FAST MARITIME
The FAST Maritime was designed to be the lightest helmet in the world that meets the
fragmentation, structural, and environmental performance of the US Army Advanced Combat Helmet* with 9mm backface deformation of less than 25.4mm at 1200 fps * Based on original 01/2005 ACH Performance Specification
LETH
by the NIJ - IIIA standard
Specifically designed to defeat handgun threats encountered by Law Enforcement Officers Meets stringent Backface Deformation (BFD) performance requirements that are not required Retractable ballistic visor:
FAST Maritime helmets are made of a DSM Dyneema HB-80 core material which
yields a shell weight reduction of 42% when compared to the traditional US Army ACH shell and further reduction of 20% when compared to the FAST High Cut helmet
The helmet ear cut geometry is 16mm higher than the FAST High Cut version allowing
for clearance of larger headset communications devices
FAST Maritime helmets have dedicated Side Armor and Mandible components that are
specifically matched with the higher ear cut geometry

The SLAAP plate can withstand an impact from a 7.62 x 39 caliber, 123 gr.
FMJ with mild steel core penetrator shot at muzzle velocity of 2,400 (+ 50) fps at 0 obliquity, with less than 25.4 mm (1 in) of backface deformation (Stopping a round from penetration is not enough to mitigate injury the round must be stopped in short enough distance to prevent fracturing of the skull)
Secure attachment from custom nylon anchors mounted to longer ballistic screws
(all included) and Velcro hook to ensure low profile, motion free positioning
Total weight of .85lbs (385 g) Made of 500 Denier Cordura and Hypalon Elastic pockets stretch to fit either (2) weights or (1) weight and (1) battery (AA,
AAA, or 123)
SLAAP Plates come in two sizes: Large (1.0 lbs) and Small (.85 lbs) The operator only needs to sustain the additional weight for short periods of
time in circumstances of imminent enemy contact (This distinct design feature increases combat mobility and awareness and decreases fatigue)
Cover includes mini Chemlight window and small Velcro patch for 20mm Glint
tape square for low-light IFF
The SLAAP Plate is specifically designed to fit the range of Ops-Core helmets,

H-Nape Chinstrap
The H-Nape is the standard issue chinstrap for USSOCOM. It is intended for operators conducting rigorous activities while wearing NVGs like the PVS-15 or ANVis-9 with heavier accessories mounted to the helmet. It features a fifth adjustment tab on the nape pad to provide the extra security and prevent any back and forth helmet rotation. All Ops-Core Head-Loc Chinstraps are designed to resolve NVG instability which occurs when helmets are slipping on the head. When NVGs are not stable, they are difficult to look through which renders them ineffective and can be detrimental to the user when operating a vehicle of controlling a canopy.
X-Nape Chinstrap
The X-Nape is intended for users conducting rigorous activities while wearing lighter NVGs like the PVS-14 or having smaller accessory equipment mounted to the helmet. Without the added weight of heavier devices, the X-Nape provides the same security and comfort as the H-Nape and does not require a fifth adjustment point on the back. Unlike competitor designs that require removal of the mounting screws to set the height of the nape pad, the X-Nape version self-adjusts to the back of the skull resulting in an ultra-clean, low-profile system.
