Team Wendy is now offering MultiCam dipped EXFIL Bump Helmets and Tactical Night Vision Company is giving us a first look. Featuring an entirely new suspension/padding system that minimizes the use of foam, any energy from a strike is dissipated through a combination of a crown sling and buckling zones. In fact, this helmet’s liner technology was developed specifically in support of Natick’s Heads Up program. It also incorporates the Boa lacing system found on ski boots for a custom fit. Additionally, the EXFIL comes with a skeletonized Wilcox VAS shroud and rail system with integrated T-slots.
The MultiCam variant will join the Tan and Black versions on TNVC’s website later this week.

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.
