Emerson FAST PJ Helmet

[Android]

Emerson’s new helmet is the FAST PJ, which is based off the . This type of helmet sacrifices ballistic protection for weight savings, but still retains the special features found on new FAST helmets.

Comfort is obtained from the adjustable impact pads which are affixed via hook & loop on the helmet’s interior. The straps also keep the helmet correctly seated on the head

In addition to the pads, there is the Occ-Dial adjustable system, which is similar to modern bicycle helmet’s retention system. With the twist of the dial the helmet can be secured on the user’s head.


The FAST helmet also includes exterior hook & loop sections and a set Accessory Rail Connectors (ARC) with detachable goggle clips. This allows various mission-specific accessories to be attached securely to the user’s helmet.


Here’s an example of what can be affixed to this FAST helmet. A standard NVG arm mount is connected via the included , and if a NOD was attached it could be secured with the included bungees. Attached to the hook & loop section on the top is a and a on the side. A is attached to an ARC Picatinny rail adapter via a and a modified is connected via a set of (the included goggle clips are too small). One thing to note is that while wearing comms with an over-the head band (like the Comtac II's pictured), the Occ-Dial adjustment system can get in the way. To counteract this there are available.

As this is a replica, it is not recommended to use in lieu of an actual helmet if one wants to participate in activities such as biking, snowboarding & parachuting. For simulating HSLD alphabet agents, it is a solid bit of equipment.

Very nice, Jon. How are the pads and straps? I've had bad experiences with those on *other* replica helmets, like the unwearable IBH collecting dust in my closet.

Have been eyeing these for the past couple weeks. Found them on airsoft park. Glad to see it's a good helmet!

Also, how are the rails? I mean, it's not like you're going to hang a 203 off of there...(Hmmmm...)
But the pictures don't make them look very strong either.

Go for the Contour. It's all about looks that those things look way better on helmets.
