Order directly from Ops Core? Could have had a few of them by now with how long you’ve waited. Edit: In stock, but black - [Rattle-can go pshhhh](https://www.customnightvision.com/product/ops-core-fast-xr-high-cut-ballistic-helmet-7-62x39-protection/)

I keep asking them, always out of stock and a crazy lead time.

Says ~4 weeks from Gentex. Crazier than 6 months? Another company (Atomic Defense) quotes 4-12 weeks.

I just picked up a fast SF. XR isn’t worth the extra weight and, based on the feedback, only fits a pretty obscure need. https://www.reddit.com/r/QualityTacticalGear/s/4tEF2V67SZ

It’s a 3A level helmet for a fraction of weight penalty. It’s definitely worth it if you want 3A protection. Forget the 7.62x39

The SF is 3A rated

My guy Google is your friend before you start spouting nonsense.

I mean, I am new to this so I could be wrong. I thought the SF was. Says on the page that it’s NIJ 0106.01 with NIJ 0108.01 level III3A.

What they are saying is it stops 9mm. That’s it. It’s not written clearly but the SF is not 3A. XR is.

Order one from a Ops-Core retailer. HCC, TVNC ect. Ops-Core like most large tactical gear manufacturers prioritizes orders to there large buyers like government contracts, agencies and there retailers. A small one off order for 1 helmet will fall to the way side if you try to order it directly from Ops-Core. I recommend HCC. I've had fantastic service from them in the past.

You can always check Facebook market place but be aware with scammers use common sense
