Ops-Core FAST Helmets are showing up all over the place, but up until now there haven’t been any covers for them. Time was, guys didn’t think they needed a cover and were more than satisfied with just painting them. Now, they’ve come to the realization that covers aid with camouflage (particularly when wet) as well as noise discipline. Additionally, as FAST helmets can be had in a variety of finishes, a helmet cover is a low cost way to modify the helmet’s camouflage without destroying the finish or purchasing an additional helmet.
FirstSpear currently offers two styles of helmet covers for the Ops-Core family of FAST Helmets. In both cases, the design is the same and it’s more a matter of material choices.
The Helmet Cover was introduced at SHOT Show and already units are ordering them. It’s made from four-way stretch material to conform to the helmet’s lines.
FirstSpear has also just introduced the Helmet Cover – Hybrid. This cover utilizes a combination of mesh and four-way stretch material. This gives a different look and is more accommodating for those who want to add garnish or local vegetation to enhance camouflage.
FirstSpear covers are manufactured from Mil-Spec materials in Black, Ranger Green, Coyote, MultiCam and White. They incorporate color matched Velcro strips across the crown and around the rear of the helmet to attach strobes, ID and other IFF systems. Additionally, the covers are cut high enough to accommodate the Accessory Rail Connector and also feature cutout for NVG mounts. The covers are easy to attach and work in a similar manner to the ACH cover via dual-sided Velcro strips that are trapped in between the helmet and pads.
FirstSpear offers these covers to accommodate both FAST Ballistic and Maritime cut helmets. Covers for other helmets can be custom created. Contact FirstSpear for details.

I am surprised this took so long to come to the market. I cant wait to pick a few of these up.
Now if Ops-Core would just get some helmets out the door and to the customers. I have had one on order with a well known night vision outfit for almost two months now. My PVS-14 is feeling neglected and I cant stand to have the skull crusher on for more than about three seconds at a time.
There’s definitely some more room for velcro! 😉
Ordered a bunch for the store; I know they’ll go over well 🙂
Got the cover, still waiting for the helmet LOL.
Wish there is an ACU cover… just loves ACU for some weird reasons…
You mean UCP? Thankfully No.
Man.. they cost ~$70 each… way too pricy for a cover IMO.
@SSD, what’s wrong with UCP haha?
