What do you think of these EXFIL Bump Helmets in Orange by Team Wendy? It’s a great color for MAROPS use as well as other applications such as SAR. These aren’t the new EXFIL LTP for Lightweight Tactical Polymer. Notice they don’t have the stylized VAS Shroud found on the EXFIL LTP. Exfil LTP you ask? Well, you obviously didn’t read our story from SOFIC.
This MultiCam dipped Ops-Core FAST helmet has a special paint job thanks to Über Group in honor of SOCS Brett Shadle who tragically lost his life earlier this year in a parachuting accident. The helmet along with other items will be auctioned soon to raise funds for Shady’s family.
If you want to integrate a Peltor headset via teh 3M Peltor ARC Adapters onto a Crye Precision AirFrame helmet, you need to get the adapter set. The AirFrame adapter set is also backwards compatible with the Ops-Core ARC Rail.
Sold in pairs in Black.
It’s amazing how folks continue to use and modify their EXFIL Bump helmets that were just released just last year.
To help them along, TW has introduced an add-on Velcro kit.
But the big news is that Team Wendy has just unveiled a major new helmet system. The EXFIL LTP for Lightweight Tactical Polymer features an injection molded lightweight shell, a new rail design that will be the standard for all TW helmets in the future, and an integrated shroud with a machined aluminum insert from Wilcox Industries.
Additionally, they are introducing a new liner called Revolve. Taking technology from the HEaDS UP program, these small discs compress during impact. Think of it as a bumper crumple zone but for your head.
TW sets up arrays of these discs in three sections that Velcro into place in the helmet.
The system still uses the Cam-fit Boa system and can be retrofit into most helmets. Although, I haven’t found one yet that won’t take the TW suspension. Alternatively, TW will be offering an H-style harness for those seeking something more traditional. Since they’ve introduced so many new options they’ve loaded a suspension selection guide on their site.
Look for Revolve available in June and the EXFIL TLP in late summer.

Tactical Command Industries developed this soft good solution to help mount behind the head-style communications headsets to a high cut ballistic or bump helmet. The TCI Liberator II & III BTH Headset Conversion Kit
The design maximizes real estate on the rail (Ops-core ARC or Team Wendy Rail) and helps turn the separate headset and helmet into a single unit that is easy to don and doff.
One interesting feature on the Headset Conversion Kit is that when you detach the headset from the helmet, the four straps can be hooked together over the crown of the head to form a headband.
Available in Coyote Tan or Black. Berry compliant.
Team Wendy has added the EXFIL Comms Mounts and Helmet Covers to their website for orders.
The TW Communications Headset Adapter mounts Peltor headsets to the EXFIL bump helmet.
