Two Sites, One Mission: Team Wendy Levels Up Online

Wednesday, September 24th, 2025

Gear up faster with seamless e-shopping

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Sept. 24, 2025 – Team Wendy®, a leading provider of innovative head protection systems, has flipped the switch on not one but two new websites, revamping its digital front door with a sleeker path to mission-ready gear and a stronger signal to its global community of defense, law enforcement and search and rescue (SAR) professionals.

Since 1997, Team Wendy ballistic and bump helmets, liners, retention systems and accessories have combined advanced materials with field-proven engineering, delivering protection, comfort and versatility that operators can count on across town or across the globe.

For the Mission: TeamWendy.com

The reimagined Team Wendy main site looks sharper and works faster by prioritizing key pages including:

Mission-specific specs and learning for law enforcement, SAR, service members and more.

A fully loaded Headstrong™ Knowledge Vault packed with how-to and product performance videos including the new RIFLETECH™ helmet live shoot.

Clean navigation, product info that’s easy to find, plus a visual style that feels as focused as the operators and first responders who wear Team Wendy helmets.

For the Gear: Shop.TeamWendy.com

Shop.TeamWendy.com is built on the industry’s most trusted e-commerce platform, giving users a fast, frustration-free path from product page to purchase. Now, users can track shipments, explore new gear, get notified on updates and easily manage their orders all in one place.

While the store lives on its own dedicated platform, Team Wendy made sure the transition from the main site is clear and seamless. Subtle cues like iconography and visual handoffs guide users between the brand and buying experience without ever losing their place.

“We built the site to reflect what Team Wendy stands for and how we serve our community, from the product education to the specs to a smoother checkout process, everything is designed to make it easier for people to find what they need and feel confident in what they’re getting,” said Kevin Hatgas, Digital Marketing Manager, Team Wendy.

In addition, visitors can expect even more videos, more data and more stories from the field as Team Wendy continues to tackle what’s top of mind for the ones who push the brand forward.

A Future Foundation

Team Wendy knows their job doesn’t end when a helmet ships. These new platforms are built to support the full experience—before, during and long after the purchase. That’s why the company strives each day to be both a gear provider and a mission partner.

For a firsthand look at the reenergized experience, visit TeamWendy.com and explore—and shop—the future of field-ready innovation.

Spiritus Systems Releases the Reactive Cummerbund for the LV-119

Friday, September 19th, 2025

The Reactive Molle Tubes Cummerbund is a rigid yet flexible design that offers support, fits most body types through a highly adjustable system, and moves naturally with the wearer—allowing the carrier to be worn snugly without restricting movement or breathing. The Reactive Cummerbund was designed during the development of the upcoming LV-120 plate carrier, and it became clear that users of the LV-119 were also looking for this kind of upgrade. In response, we’re releasing the Reactive Cummerbund as a stand-alone product ahead of the LV-120 launch. That said, it will be included with the full LV-120 Kit when it becomes available, so it is not necessary to purchase the stand-alone cummerbund if you intend to get the LV-120.

Why “Reactive”?

The cummerbund is designed to flex with your movement. Whether you’re breathing hard, bending, or twisting, it expands and retracts automatically via shock cord to maintain a secure, comfortable fit. Adjusting the tension is a fairly straightforward process of letting out or taking in slack on the shock cord via barrel cord locks. This allows the user to make quick micro adjustments to accommodate cold weather clothing or general sizing adjustments that may not require a significant change.

Construction & Adjustability

The Reactive Cummerbund is constructed with CURVthermoplastic composite material, nylon laminate, and First Spear Tubes with heat-shrunk pull cords, which makes it extremely robust yet lightweight. On the front of the cummerbund there are 4-columns of 3-rows of MOLLE which turns into 2-columns of MOLLE until you reach your adjustment limit.

A big part in ensuring that the cummerbund is one-size-fits-most are two modular pieces that slide and lock together with a secure keeper. This, in turn, allows for a wide range of adjustments that can shrink down to the equivalent of our former size 1cummerbund or expand to the size 2 without tools or guessing what cummerbund size you are.

The Reactive Molle Tubes Cummerbund is available now in MultiCam, Ranger Green, Coyote, and Black.
