Pretty cool. Didn’t they start out making ski helmets?
They started out making retrofit pad sets for helmets. At least that was the first thing I ever saw from them.
The ski helmets were even before that – late 1990’s. The pad retrofits came from materials used in the ski helmets
Ski helmets because his daughter died from a TBI suffered while skiing.
And now the name makes sense. Damn, at least they have helped save thousands of people since then.
Anyone know what light that is? Princeton Tec?
The light is a new variant of the Switch Rail from Princeton Tec, now with a MPLS backing (like the Switch and Point MPLS lights) instead of the picatinny. The accessory rail has the mount built right in, and the helmet will come with a light.
Thanks, Jon. I must’ve just missed that free light cutoff. Our agency just equipped our team with Exfil Ballistics. I’ll keep an eye out on the sight. Looking for something with a small footprint to run in front of our rail mounted TEA comms.
*site.
The inclusion of the light with the helmet is specific to the M-216 Ski helmet (introducing the accessory mounting capabilities to a new user group that may not be familiar with the lights, including to help familiarize users with the capability).
For your EXFIL Ballistics, check out the rail accessory kit. It has “mini-tinnys” that mount forward of comm’s that are perfect in conjunction with the Princeton Tec Switch Rail (picatinny backing).
