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.

Reviews
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.
I’ve been using this helmet for work the past few months and it’s been great for me.
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
I knew this helmet was gonna be light when I got it, but its almost unreal how light it is. Without any accessories on it, it honestly feels like a bike helmet. Not bad after I load it up with my comtacs and nods either.
10/10 would recommend.
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.
