CLEVELAND, OH (July 21, 2020) – Cleveland-based Team Wendy®, a leading provider of exceptional head protection systems, announced today the launch of its EXFIL® Adapter for the Ops-Core AMP™ Communication Headset. This headset, originally designed for Ops-Core’s ARC Rail, can now be also be mounted on Team Wendy helmets.
The adapter easily attaches each arm of the AMP headset to Team Wendy’s EXFIL Rail 2.0 or EXFIL Rail 3.0 accessory mounting systems. A press fit design – rather than a hard mount – ensures breakaway functionality when enough pressure is applied in an emergency situation.
“The breakaway capability is important for airborne operations,” said Mike Romanchek, director of sales and business development for Team Wendy. “The EXFIL Adapter reduces risk should lines get tangled around the headset by detaching from the helmet thus reducing the chances of equipment malfunction or injury.”
The EXFIL Adapter for the Ops-Core AMP Communication Headset retails for $21.99 and is available for purchase on TeamWendy.com and through authorized Team Wendy dealers.
So lm curious, how does this differ from the unity tactical adapter? Are they identical or does one offer different functionality?
We’re offering an alternative design based on customer input we received during development. Due to the airborne requirements of some of our customers, we needed to supply an adapter for the AMP headset with breakaway capability. Our friends at Unity Tactical were aware we were working on this when they released their adapter, which is why the two designs have different functionality. We are grateful to the team at Unity Tactical for helping us to offer multiple options for our customers.
Okay cool, so the difference is breakaway for airborne use. Thanks for taking the time to answer.
