My new helmet arrived yesterday, and this thing rocks. It's much more comfortable and easily adjustable than the skater-type bump helmet I had rigged up before, and now the Howard Leight ear muffs fit perfectly. In hindsight, though, I should have ordered the military version rather than their sport version because I don't really like the chin strap, and the military version comes with a few extra features and accessories. I called and ordered directly from Ops Core, and both Anna and Viktoria have been extremely helpful. If you want one now, then call Ops Core and order directly from them.

Re: Ops Core Base Jump
I'll tell Clasky to post the review here we just did. Amazing helmet based on the Fast Ballistic and Bump offerings from Ops-Core.

Re: Ops Core Base Jump
Get some pics up Bach...been waiting for these things to come out for a while now. I've got a FAST, but that's not practical for being back on the block and running NODs.

Re: Ops Core Base Jump
The OpsCore FAST Base Jump Helmet is feature-rich, low-cost alternative to their popular FAST Bump Carbon Fiber Shell. Designed to include all the revolutionary bells and whistles of the FAST series, the Base Jump does not disappoint. It is almost exactly the same as the FAST Bump, except for a couple minor details. The shell is constructed of an injection-molded polymer (35% glass-filled Nylon) for an extremely rigid structure. There is no bending or warping often found in other polymer “skater-type” helmets. The second difference is in the night vision shroud. While the FAST Bump requires an additional bolted-on shroud, the FAST Base Jump has its shroud in-molded directly in the shell. This truly innovative design feature creates an extremely rigid and stable platform for attaching night vision mounts and cuts down on the overall weight because of the lack of hardware. The OpsCore FAST Base Jump retains all the features of the FAST family of helmets.
The in-molded shroud is designed to interface with standard NVG Mount Brackets. These include the Standard-Issue USGI Rhino Mount, Norotos AKA2 and INVG, Wilcox L4 G24, L4 G01 L4 G02, L4 G21, L4G29. The molded is tight which reduces wobble. The shell’s paint adds a small layer of thickness as well, which will crack off in certain contact areas. But, this extra several thousandths of material helps to stabilize the mount. The polymer is thick in this section, so there are no worries of it cracking or breaking under normal use.
Like its cousins, the FAST Bump and FAST Ballistic Shells, the Base Jump utilizes the latest generation of the OpsCore OCC-Dial suspension system. This system features an adjustable “fit-band” that tightens or loosens around the user’s head, providing more support and even weight distribution around the cranium. Instead of relying solely on position-able pads, the OCC-Dial makes contact in a complete loop around the head, thus eliminating “hotspots” of contact that can be annoying/painful during prolonged missions. The latest generation system has a better-knurled rotational knob for ease of use with gloves. The forehead padding has been greatly increased in depth and area from previous generations, adding to user comfort. The fit-band allows for better integration of ear-pro and comms headsets. It can be undone from the brow, allowing the headset to slide in between the shell and the fit-band. The rest of the OCC-Dial system is made up of position-able EPP impact pads and LDV closed cell comfort foam. These, too, have been upgraded with softer padding than their predecessors. They are not affected by altitude, temperature, or moisture. The suspension system is rounded out by the ever-popular OpsCore Head-Lok chin strap system.
The sides of the helmet sport proprietary FAST-ARC 4-position Rail Connectors for securing accessories like lights. These ARC’s act as the hub for an entire suite of modular accessories.
• Works in conjunction with locking and rotating adapters that utilize emergency break-away features for airborne operations.
• Upper ARC dovetail for devices like low-profile lights, video camera, visor, mandible and up-armor side covers.
• Corner ARC buckle receiver for gas and O2 mask strap kit attachments that eliminate the bulk and clutter of traditional bayonet style mounts.
• Lower ARC dovetail for devices like flip-out COM headset, battery pack, goggle strap keeper, mandible and up-armor side covers.
• Over-the-center side hook attachment for devices like illuminator, strobe light and battery pack.
The FAST Base Jump Helmet incorporates the BISS-NVD lanyard/ elastic tensioner which eliminates night vision mount rattle and vibration by keeping your devices taut against the helmet shell. When not in use, the bungie-cord lanyards hook into holes under the shroud for storage.
The OpsCore FAST Base Jump Helmet strikes the perfect balance between functionality and cost. It offers the most coveted accessories and features found in the higher-price FAST Helmets, but at a price point most individuals can afford. OpsCore suggests that this helmet is not designed to support binocular style NVG’s. We would agree with this assessment, unless the user adds a counterweight to the rear of the helmet. Even so, our testing showed that heavier NVG’s will cause the helmet to continually slip down over prolonged use. We believe that the OpsCore FAST Base Jump is the ultimate universal helmet for users not requiring ballistic protection. It is the most feature-rich and comfortable unit on the market. The suspension system keeps getting better with every generation and truly shines. For those users who have a hard time fitting other lightweight polymer helmets while maintaining support and stability, this helmet is your huckleberry.
These have been shipping very limited quantities for the past month (mostly to dealers), but full production and color choices are shipping in January. They are available in:
Urban Tan
Foliage Green
Black
Red
Desert MARPAT
Multicam
They come with everything you see here and a couple other adapter plates.
You guys have come to expect the very best night vision and related equipment from TNVC and we are very pleased to bring you these awesome helmets.
Retail is $239
We will put together some package deals with the standard Rhino Arm and maybe a Wilcox G24.
