Next Generation NIJ IIIA + HG2 Law Enforcement
FAST XP G2 Helmet System
3 Big Improvements: Helmet – Liner – Chinstrap
Purpose-built for law enforcement. The next-generation FAST XP delivers NIJ IIIA/HG2 protection with the new LOCKDOWN™ Liner and Head-Loc® Flex retention — improving officer safety with better stability under NVGs and faster CBRN mask integration.
"This launch marks a major milestone for our company and an ongoing commitment to law enforcement professionals who keep our communities safe. The FAST XP Helmet System is built on decades of military pedigree but engineered specifically for the realities of the badge."
— Fred Grimm, VP of Commercial Sales Americas, Gentex Corporation

What's New vs. Original XP
1. LOCKDOWN™ Liner System
User-adjustable suspension manages heat, moisture, and fatigue during long shifts. Moisture-wicking fabrics + integrated airflow channels. Conformal nape pad and cable Occ-Dial® provide secure, stable fit for any head shape.
2. Head-Loc® Flex Retention
Convertible chin cup worn over OR under the chin. Eliminates mask extenders for O2/CBRN kits — faster donning in chemical threat environments. One-handed adjustment retained.
3. PowerPath ARC™ Rails
Secure equipment mounting with behind-the-rail cable channel — reduces snag risks during dynamic entries and vehicle ops.
+ Modular Bungee Shroud (MBS)
Contributes to NVG stability without interfering with other rail-mounted devices. Carabiner clips reduce snag hazards.
Officer Safety Features
- ✓ Stability under load: LOCKDOWN Liner's conformal nape pad secures a larger contact area — helmet stays put during dynamic entries and vehicle ops with NVGs mounted
- ✓ CBRN readiness: Head-Loc Flex under-chin mode integrates gas masks and O2 systems without mask extenders
- ✓ Extended wear comfort: Moisture-wicking fabrics and airflow channels keep officers cooler during 8+ hour shifts
- ✓ Snag reduction: PowerPath cable channel + MBS clips eliminate loose cables catching on doorways and gear
Beyond NIJ — Military Testing Protocols
Gentex validates every helmet size through comprehensive military testing protocols including exposure to ambient, hot, cold, wet, and high-altitude environmental conditions. This expanded qualification ensures the FAST XP meets demands of law enforcement, special response teams, and military users in dynamic, high-risk environments.
