The Exfil Gen II offers a 20% weight reduction at Level IIIA protection. Additionally, it retains the same frag and BFD spec as the original helmet.
The helmet also features a new shroud from Wilcox. You can see the new version to the left, compared to the right.
Finally, the Gen II rail, offers a new geometry to both save weight and provide an attachment point for a forthcoming visor. This new rail is also backward compatible to the original message.

Not the biggest fan of Picatinny rails on helmets, but this application doesn’t look too bad, if you figure that you can put a Inforce WML/Surefire X300/Any number of other things right there where you probably want it.
The M-Lok attachment on the M-Tek Flux was a good idea, but the dimensions of M-Lok kind of restricted how many accessories could be realistically mounted at once. This takes a difference approach and just tells you where to put stuff.
If my math isn’t totally wrong, the EXFIL weighs about 1180 grams, so a 20% weight reduction puts it at 944 grams, or a little less than 2.1 pounds. That’s incredible for IIIA
Spec wise now its equal to the MTEK Flux.
Also looks like they’re streamlining production of the pads to the same ones as the Mtek.
Oops nevermind about the pads. I actually use a mix of TW pads in my Mtek. Forgot which was which.
I guess that’s an improvement on the rails over the old one… but that remains the biggest flaw of TW helmets.
The helmets are superior to Ops-Core, but the rails are terrible. They need tools, they’re much higher profile, and more prone to snags. And I’m not saying that from pictures, I’m saying that from having owned one.
Give me Team Wendy helmets with Ops-Core (compatible) rails and I’ll be happy.
