Articles mentioning Team Wendy, LLC

  • ACH-GEN-II — The Military Helmet Spec LE Actually Cares About

    ACH-GEN-II is the US Army's performance specification for Advanced Combat Helmet and its derivatives. It covers fragmentation V50, 9mm V50, backface deformation, and retention — a tougher spec than NIJ 0106. This guide covers what it specifies and why LE agencies increasingly require it.

  • Ballistic Helmets — The Complete ArmorOS Guide

    The authoritative hub for ballistic helmets — NIJ 0106 and ACH-GEN-II standards, cut styles (ACH / MICH / FAST / high-cut), pad vs dial retention, NVG mounting (Wilcox, Ops-Core VAS), and procurement. Source-cited across every spec.

  • Ballistic Helmets for LE — Selection Guide for Departments

    A mission-fit selection walkthrough for LE departments procuring ballistic helmets — threat model assessment, NIJ 0106 + ACH-GEN-II pairing, cut / retention / NVG decisions, and how to structure the RFP.

  • NVG Mounting — Wilcox L4 vs Ops-Core VAS

    Wilcox L4 and Ops-Core VAS are the two NVG shroud systems that matter. This guide covers shroud-to-helmet compatibility, J-arm and dovetail standards, and how to specify a helmet so your downstream NVG loadout just works.

  • Helmet Retention — Pad Systems vs Dial Harnesses

    A properly-rated ballistic helmet fails to protect if the retention is wrong. This guide compares foam pad systems (Team Wendy CAM-Fit, Oregon Aero), dial harnesses (BOA, Galvion Caiman, Ops-Core H-Nape), and hybrid configurations — with selection guidance by mission.

  • Helmet Weight vs Protection — The Real Tradeoff

    Modern helmet weight reduction rarely comes from ballistic compromise — it comes from shell-material upgrades (UHMWPE composite) and cut optimization. This guide covers where the weight is, how much can be shaved without losing rating, and the fatigue math that determines fielded-wear success.
