The liner is easily washed and doesn’t retain sweat like other models I have used.Īccording to Team Wendy, the liner’s blunt impact performance : You can easily set up your top line communications gear or use cheap ones like I do. Moving on to the interior: The helmet liner is nothing short of spectacular! I love it and so does everyone who puts it on. I don’t carry goggles so it took me a bit to figure it out (I read the instructions after the review….).
The cable access point features a Velcro hook & loop closure and also allows for your goggle retention strap to be placed outside the cover. Some of the finer details found on the Team Wendy Helmet Cover are quality stitching, and a communications cable access point conveniently placed near the back of the helmet where a battery box/counter weight is typically attached. It also features a Velcro opening that is used for communication cables and the goggle straps.
The helmet cover does a great job of breaking up the outline of the helmet. The helmet cover also features stabilizing Velcro hook that attaches to the generous quantity of pile tape (loop panels) on the exterior of the helmet. The cover helps break up the outline of the helmet and seriously reduces the inevitable, reflective shine that even flat paint can’t overcome. Team Wendy makes helmet covers, (highly recommended), they come in three colors.
#TEAM WENDY EXFIL PELTOR VS 3M PELTOR ARC RAIL ADAPTER INSTALL#
The cover proved to be exceptionally easy to install however, you are required to attach the Velcro hook stickers on the inside of the helmet in order to attach the cover (pretty easy). The Multicam helmet cover attaches via four velcro tabs.įor this review, Team Wendy loaned us a tan EXFIL with their new Multicam Helmet Cover. If I were to recommend anything it would be to make the bungee cords slightly longer and utilize larger hooks (Team Wendy is currently addressing this). All in all, the bungee cord system will require a little ingenuity on the part of the user due to the number of different NVDs in circulation. We recommend adding a small loop or key ring to you NVD where possible as Team Wendy’s hooks are rather small. The EXFIL CARBON’s Bungee cords do the job but you will have to improvise a little to get a perfect fit. This “play” is basically caused by the imperfect fit of the J-arm and Norotos mount and is seriously annoying when you are already dealing with sweat, lens fogging and a sub-par strap system. For those who don’t know, typically, when deploying PVS-14 mono NVDs, the user will experience a certain amount of annoying “play” with the device. This is a feature that many lower end bump helmets don’t have and is badly needed. Wrapping up the outer shell are the bungee cords used for stabilization of your NVD. The Wilcox W Shroud is rock solid and the mounting hardware was finished properly. Team Wendy has a slick Peltor Communications adapter that uses the T-Slot rails. Moving on….in addition to the Magpul MOE rails on either side, the outer shell also features a T-Slot rail system above each rail. We threw in a little love for Tactical Night Vision Company. The EXFIL CARBON features Magpul MOE rails. Having a White/IR light on a helmet rail can be a lifesaver when hiking alone in the desert.
I can personally vouch for the usefulness of rails on bump helmets, as I have used one exclusively for the mounting of a Streamlight White/IR light solution. The EXFIL CARBON has all the features demanded by todays war fighters.Īttached to the outer shell are a handful of critical components which have become standard in the military and law enforcement fields.įirst are the Magpul MOE rails on each side of the helmet. The outer shell’s shape and cut allow for the co-deployment of all the popular tactical communication headsets and features air vents to assist in internal airflow. The helmet’s outer shell is constructed of high strength carbon fiber that provides the strength and engineered rigidity to protect the operator’s head. It isn’t until you pick it up that you realize that you are holding the helmet by which all others will be judged. Upon first glance, the Team Wendy EXFIL CARBON appears like an ordinary PT helmet. The Team Wendy EXFIL CARBON is super light and provides a rock solid NVD mounting system. The Magpul MOE rails and a custom Wilcox Mount are the icing on the cake! Those who have worn bump helmets in the line of duty will instantly fall in love with the EXFIL CARBON. The Team Wendy EXFIL CARBON represents the first true developmental breakthrough in tactical bump helmets and features a carbon fiber shell with state of the art helmet liner technology.
