Licentia Arms Co. gives an overview of the Ops-Core FAST SF Gen 2 helmet which introduces several design updates compared to the previous ballistic model. A primary change is the shell weight, which has been reduced by approximately 3.7 ounces in the size large configuration. Despite this reduction in weight, the helmet maintains the same level of ballistic protection as its predecessor.

Thin Line Defense share they think about the RAILINK from Ops-Core in this video... "We finally got our hands on the new Ops-Core Railink Black.

We'll take a look at how it works, how to install it, and how it compares to legacy setups on the market so we can see if this is really the future or if it's just a way to lighten your wallet."
Thin Line Defense talk about the Ops-Core FAST SF Next Generation Helmet and the upgrades done to it... "We tear into the updated Ops-Core FAST SF Ballistic Helmet to see all the new changes in the newly released version. With the lightened shell, lockdown liner, and headlock flux system, there is already a huge push towards comfort, particularly when paired with a headband-style earpro. This looks like a huge winner to me, and all the new bits can be retrofitted into the old style, too!
