We first introduced you to the new Lightweight Tactical Polymer (LTP) Helmet during SOFIC. Now, they’re are available for order and shipping.
CLEVELAND – Team Wendy, maker of leading-edge, multiple-application products that serve to protect against serious and potentially life-threatening impact-related injuries, has released a new tactical helmet platform that is ideal for military applications.
The company has launched the EXFIL LTP – a Lightweight Tactical Polymer helmet that provides operators with best-in-class head protection and a comprehensive and high-end accessory platform for operating environments that require the use of night vision, cameras, lighting and other add-ons.
The EXFIL LTP is designed for:
-Operators across the military, including combat search and rescue (CSAR) teams
-Various airborne, heliborne and maritime operations such as visit, board, search and seizure (VBSS)
-Training exercises in which low equipment weight and high functionality are priorities
The LTP is an extension of the EXFIL™ line, which launched in 2012 with the release of the highly regarded EXFIL Carbon, Team Wendy’s first complete helmet for tactical operators. A leading maker of protective tactical gear, Team Wendy has been the sole supplier of the standard issue helmet pad system to the U.S. Army, Marine Corps and National Guard since 2005.
The EXFIL LTP is now available for pre-order through TeamWendy.com and authorized Team Wendy distributors.
Jose Rizo-Patron, Team Wendy CEO: “We are proud to offer the EXFIL LTP as a follow-up to the EXFIL Carbon. The EXFIL LTP offers the protection, design and functionality that our customers have come to expect from Team Wendy. We are also excited to be rolling out our new Accessory Rail 2.0 System, which will serve as a comprehensive platform for the operator. The EXFIL LTP is a natural evolution in Team Wendy’s mission: Innovate to Protect.”

Worlds most expensive skateboard helmet.
Really? Never have seen a skateboard helmet with an integrated Wilcox shroud, a proven multi-impact liner system, a rail system that directly incorporates operator feedback and a custom boa dial system that is specifically designed to address heavy front loading. Full disclosure, I know the TW guys well and they do all they can to kick back to the operator the best product per the stated rqmts. If you prefer a skate board helmet… go for it.
SAR doesn’t rock $5000 nvg or rail lighting/comms. They use $50 handheld radios and REI headlights.
Oh and allot are volunteers with budgets for $300 helmets.
agreed, it’s comments like those that end up a year or two later in a line of duty investigation.
I would have loved a “slick” version of this helmet without the integrated NVG mount for skydiving.
I like it but if they are aiming at the SAR community they need some high viz colors like red, white, and orange. Flat black and coyote won’t fly with that segment of the market.
Spray paint bro.
They’ve made Carbon Fiber models in Red for USCG.
I wonder if Team Wendy ever plans on making their own ballistic helmet?
Come on now. Not all SAR guys are so low rent. Between my ITT gen III NVG monocular, NiteRider halogen headlamp and CommTac radio earpiece/lip mic my Joe Brown SAR helmet was probably $4000 all total. Add to that a Globalstar tri-mode satphone, Motorola HT1000 radios (UHF and VHF), custom Wilderness pack, Blackhawk utility vest, Conterra Tech Pack, London Bridge Trading Company EMT Jump Pack, custom Flightsuits Limited 27Ps, NRS Swiftwater pack, Dana Designs Terraplane alpine pack and all the kit to go with it the inventory in the back of my rig was pushing $60,000.
If I get lost in Beverly Hills ill be found quick then, here in Washington state ill have to soak in in the rain a little longer.
Does anyone know the size M/L weight of this and/or the carbon? Couldn’t find on the website.
Realize there are a # of configs possible…any info is much appreciated for saving me a phone call to TWendy.
