This photo was taken during this week’s Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans. It’s amazing how versatile the Team Wendy Exfil Bump Helmet’s T-Slots are. While some might question the use of a bump helmet as party wear, I beg to differ. I’d say this is a pretty good choice. Not only does it carry your drinks but it will also protect your noggin in the event of some street mayhem or you hit the falling down drunk stage.
We first wrote about PT Helmets in Nov 2008 and we’ve loved them ever since. Once again, Extreme Outfitters has the PT Helmets A-Bravo Half Shell Helmet back in stock. Features include Dual Rail Mounts and Velcro patches on side and top. They are also pre-drilled for VAS shroud mounts.

Why they’d make a Crasche hat. its designed for children and adults who should wear a helmet, but don’t.
The outer cap is 100% Acrylic which isn’t exactly the perfect material for tactical applications but it ought to get someone’s creative juices flowing. The key to the Crasche hat are the protective inserts which protect your head against impact. The outer layer of the inserts are composed of an extremely strong polycarbonate plastic, the same material used to make bulletproof glass. The inner layers are composed of neoprene rubber, the same skin friendly material used in making wet suits. The inner layer of neoprene rubber has trapped air in the rubber itself, and the larger air chambers. These air chambers help cushion the impact, and help spread the force of the impact over the entire protective insert.

Created by an Army Combat Veteran stationed at Ft Hood, the Kayrank Helmet Rank System is being crowdfunded by Indiegogo. By its own description, it is a military grade, durable, tactical device used to identify the rank of the individual wearing the Kevlar Helmet. The patented design is a rank device that snaps into the Night Vision Device (NVD) bracket on the Army Combat Helmet (ACH). The device can be easily removed when the NVD’s require reattachment.
So far, only Army ranks are available.

Our friends the Petronellas donated a Crye Precision AirFrame helmet customized into a Boba Fett theme by Q-Concepts to the annual Crye SHOT Show fundraiser auction. So if you wondered who won the helmet, I’ll tell you who won it. LEAFGEAR won it.
Their latest helmet is the Viper High Cut PE is a polyethylene helmet that is just under 800 grams. Weight is a serious consideration for Revision and all of the liner parts and their NVG mount is their own design. This is just a sneak peek so look for a full report soon.
Don’t forget that SSD readers have a 30% discount on many Revision products by using code SOLSYS.
This is the Sentry helmet that debuted last year along with the new Moto Mandible and Moto Visor. These are add-ons to the helmet for use in turrets or static positions.
The Moto Visor opens and closes with indexing increments to allow for multiple vented positions and its designed to be used in conjunction with eye pro.
As you can see, it also works with NODs. Granted, there is a slight degradation due to the stand off of the goggles from the eye but it still works.
The Moto Mandible incorporates front vents that exhausts moisture from breathing to prevent the visor from fogging up. This is critical because you can actually wear the visor down to provide full protection. What would be the point of having a visor if you had to keep it up to vent?
Here it’s removed from the helmet and you can see the rear of the ballistic panels. It easily mounts and cantilevers against the edge of t.he shell. It’s held in place via two buckles that fit into the oxygen mask strap receptacles on the rail.
RACS development is complete. Look for an official release in July with orders starting in September.
This gimbal mounted hearing protection incorporates directional hearing augmentation and can be fitted directly over your ears.
Additionally, it can moved into a portage configuration.
Finally, different organizations have different ballistic requirements so now they’re offering multiple performance levels for each of the shell designs.
From Q-Concepts –
V2 of the Crye Precision AirFrame Boba Fett inspired ballistic helmet. This will be up for Auction at Crye’s SHOT Show party to help raise funds for several military charities. The helmet will be on display at the Crye Booth Tuesday and Wednesday. See you at SHOT!
Think of it as the dented helmet that won’t dent.
