NIJ - IIIA and US Army - ACH Specification
Due to difference in shell shape, edge cut, and the lack of "ear bulge" features, the FAST helmet does not have the same amount of head coverage and subsequent performance characteristics as the "full-cut" ACH (for which the specification was written). It does meet all of the requirements listed below.
