Friday, January 18th, 2013Wilcox Industries Launches New Website
Sunday, January 6th, 2013It’s been up for a little while, but it’s still worth checking out if you haven’t seen the new Wilcox Industries website. Even though it’s an all new site, at first glance, you say, “Wilcox.” The look is iconic for them. See what I mean?
In addition to increased information on their full line of commercially available products as well as links to dealers, there are also new videos which showcase the various families of products.
AUSA – Wilcox Industries
Wednesday, October 24th, 2012Wilcox Industries has unveiled their new 3 hole shroud for the ACH/Ops-Core Helmet.
It’s a skeletonized design that is optimized for the ACH geometry. Additionally, it combines a machined anodized aluminum mount with a polymer housing. This approach balances strength and weight meaning zero movement left and right or up and down. In fact, they tested the design by attaching and detaching an NVG 5,000 times. Additionally, it is available with or without a lanyard.

Last week we mentioned that the latest version of Ceradyne’s MOdular HArd Wired Kitted (MOHAWK) Boltless Combat Helmet. But, at last year’s AUSA, Ceradyne along with Wilcox Industries, gave everyone a sneak of the future of combat helmets. These photos of the MOHAWK technology demonstrator were taken during a recent SSD visit to Wilcox Industries. As you can see, the first version was a standard ACH cut. You can also make out an attachment point at the top of the helmet.

Team Wendy EXFIL Carbon Fiber Helmet in Stock Now at GSS Gear
Monday, September 17th, 2012During SOFIC we told you about the new Tactical Bump Helmet from Team Wendy. It’s since been renamed the EXFIL Carbon Fiber Helmet. Whats even better, it’s just hit the market and it’s available NOW in both Tan and Black from GSS Gear.
It’s the same helmet we showed during SOFIC with one major addition. It now incorporates a new Wilcox Industries NVG mount designed specifically for the EXFIL. It’s an injection molded shroud with a machined aluminum mounting mechanism to lower weight.
The EXFIL incorporates the Boa lacing system found on boots. It offers a custom fit and ease of use. In fact, we’ve been working with it and it’s amazing how many different head sizes it’s been able accommodate, everything from an 8 year old to Fanboy’s big melon.
It features an entirely new suspension/padding system that minimizes the use of foam. Instead the energy 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.
Price is $560.00 with Picatinny rail sections and the new Wilcox NVG mount. It’s so new, it’s not even on their site yet so if you want to pick one up by emailing proshop@gssgear.com or call 757-227-6757.
