Shell & Construction

🧱 UHMW-PE Ballistic Shell

The UHMW-PE shell delivers 1.5× the strength of steel at a fraction of the weight. Engineered for high-level protection against shrapnel and high-velocity debris, with low thermal conductivity and high electromagnetic wave permeability — keeping you protected without interfering with your electronics.

External Configuration

🔭 OPS-Style NVG Mount

Equipped with a new OPS-style 3-point alloy skeleton frame and engineering plastic mount base with integrated bungee cords for securing night vision devices. Compatible with most standard NVG mounts — mount your optics and go.

🧲 Full-Coverage Loop Velcro Panels

Newly designed full-set loop Velcro panels across the helmet surface allow for secure attachment of equipment, IFF patches, and unit insignia. Customize your profile for any operational environment.

⚙️ High-Cut ARC-Style Skeletonized Rails

Two-piece assembly ARC rails with a dedicated front-bottom slot for face shield clip attachment. Compatible with OPS-core accessories including face shields, mandible guards, oxygen masks, and gas masks — build your full protection platform around this shell.

Internal Configuration

💨 Team Wendy Pad System (Gen 1)

Full 5-point adjustable suspension setup with modular foam pads that absorb and disperse external impact energy, mitigating inward deformation. Pad configuration is fully customizable — dial in your fit for maximum comfort across extended operations.
