Gonna start seeing these in movies pretty soon – they certainly have the dystopian-future “look.”
cooleeooo
I have the helmet, it’s great overall, but the “one-size fits all” doesn’t really work. They *need* different sizes.
In my case, for exemple, I’m on the small end of the range, and tightening down the harness makes it secure and keeps my head forward – while sticking out at the back a lot. That reduces greatly my head’s range of movement looking up, especially when wearing a mountain rescue pack.
With that said, it’s cool to see them coming out with accessories as they promised.
I’m curious about what else they have in the pipeline?
Would work great for tree-trimming and forestry work. You know, man stuff.
Though for that stuff, Petzl work helmets are probably a better buy.
The Team Wendy shines in mountaineering, helo rescue, etc.
They need to list whether it’s ANSI compliant for we industrial people who have to worry about OSHA and other pesky entities.
The helmet, that is.
Quote from the Website:
“Meets the requirements of EN12492:2012 Standard for Mountaineering Helmets
Meets the requirements of EN1385:2012 Standard for Whitewater Helmets
Meets Advanced Combat Helmet blunt impact requirements (per AR/PD 10-02 Rev A)
Meets additional off-crown impact requirements of EN 14052:2012 European standard for high performance industrial helmets
NOTE: EN 14052 requires a low-strength chinstrap, the EXFIL® SAR is not fully certified to EN14052 in order to meet more rigorous chinstrap requirements of EN12492 and reduce the risk of losing the helmet during a fall.”
Those are European standards. ANSI is for the USA.
Looks cool, but if you have anything mounted to the mount in the front, it looks like the visor will get in the way of that being raised and lowered.
