About Highcom:

Highcom is one of the largest domestic manufacturers and one of only a handful of US armor companies who fully manufacture their plates in house and heat press their own backers. 

They are also one of the only companies with their own In House Ballistic Testing Laboratory (See Here), which allows them to perform ballistic tests on every single batch of armor before being shipped to end users. 

Highcom was established in 1997 and has been making armor for over 25 years, they were one of the first US manufacturers to sell ceramic level 4s to civilians.

Highcom currently has 17 hard and soft armor models active on the NIJ Certified Products List. 

Highcom is a lesser known company due to the fact they are primarily a government/ military supplier.

    I had a friend who bought one of these from Apex and I was able to compare it to a FAST SF that I was also looking at. When I compared both side by side, weight wise I couldn't tell a difference. Maybe the Highcom was 2 ounces heavier? I don't know.


    Ended up going with the Highcom and swapped the pads for some 4D pads. Weight feels the same as the Ops Core and with the pad upgrade it feels more comfortable. Mounts my night vision well and its sturdy

    Helmet took 22 days. Quite the wait but it was made to order. Definitely very lightweight! The coyote color as a base matches well with my ranger green kit. I followed measurements as recommended and it fits perfect as a small. My head is definitely below 21.9. I could get away with a medium but the slop/extra space is not worth it. The sizing is literally perfect. Fitted all common accessories but the Ops-Core retention dial in a S/M. The Agilite FAST ST/XP HC Gen 4 cover fits perfectly.

    Got recommended this by a friend that I do night shoots with often. Really happy with the helmet and it doesn't strain my neck after 4 hours of night shooting

    I was originally going to go for the standard helmet but I figured my neck would thank me for going this route. I'm glad I did. Its ridiculously light.
