This agreement reflects a passion to deliver industry-leading solutions shared by both firms. Ops-Core, Inc., located in Boston, MA, was acquired this week by Gentex Corporation, a long-standing global leader in personal protection and situation awareness products. Two companies, focused on serving the modern war fighter, have joined today to deliver sophisticated personal protective equipment for elite military units around the world. We are pleased to see that Gentex has chosen to expand their offerings with the acquisition of Ops-Core and we feel it will be not only a great fit, but also good for the personnel and units who rely on Ops-Core for their helmets. Recently, their designs have been selected to protect American as well as Allied personnel and with this they have grown in both size as well as importance. We have long been impressed with both their vision and execution of headborne armor systems. In a press release, Gentex has announced their purchase of Ops-Core, one of the most innovative tactical companies in the market. Posted in Helmets, Multicam | 8 Comments » Covers for other helmets can be custom created. 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.įirstSpear offers these covers to accommodate both FAST Ballistic and Maritime cut helmets. Additionally, the covers are cut high enough to accommodate the Accessory Rail Connector and also feature cutout for NVG mounts. They incorporate color matched Velcro strips across the crown and around the rear of the helmet to attach strobes, ID and other IFF systems. This gives a different look and is more accommodating for those who want to add garnish or local vegetation to enhance camouflage.įirstSpear covers are manufactured from Mil-Spec materials in Black, Ranger Green, Coyote, MultiCam and White. This cover utilizes a combination of mesh and four-way stretch material. It’s made from four-way stretch material to conform to the helmet’s lines.įirstSpear has also just introduced the Helmet Cover – Hybrid. The Helmet Cover was introduced at SHOT Show and already units are ordering them. In both cases, the design is the same and it’s more a matter of material choices. 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.įirstSpear currently offers two styles of helmet covers for the Ops-Core family of FAST Helmets. Now, they’ve come to the realization that covers aid with camouflage (particularly when wet) as well as noise discipline. Time was, guys didn’t think they needed a cover and were more than satisfied with just painting them.
Ops-Core FAST Helmets are showing up all over the place, but up until now there haven’t been any covers for them.
