Even lighter - Batlskin Caiman Ultra-Light

GALVION unveils the latest addition to its flagship Caiman suite of head systems, the new Caiman UL (Ultra-Light).The Caiman UL builds on the Caiman helmet series, which has been adopted by some of the world’s most demanding military and tactical teams. The new helmet, along with GALVION’s wider range of head systems and power and data solutions, will be on display at booth #643 at AUSA 2025 in Washington, D.C. 

The Caiman UL system was specifically designed for elite special operations operators who demand an ultra-lightweight next-generation solution that minimizes weight and bulk, while offering maximum protection and performance. Offering all of the performance of the Caiman TL (Tactical Light) in a lighter weight, the UL comes in five sizes, ensuring that operators are wearing the lightest, most comfortable, and most stable helmet possible. The new Caiman also features additional updates, including:

• GALVION’s 3-hole shroud, which uses ballistic mounting hardware and offers excellent stability for thermal and night vision devices. The low-profile shroud uses rubber bumpers for rattle prevention and has multiple integrated anchor points for secure bungee storage and paracord pass-through. It also features an interchangeable metal shroud plate to accommodate a variety of NVG and future headborne accessories.
• APEX liner system with a redesigned harness. With over 7 years of end-user feedback incorporated into iterative design updates, the latest harness features its toughest camlocks yet for improved strap tension and a stronger anchor system to withstand operational stress. A recontoured and wider chin cup results in a more natural, secure and stable fit and a surface-mounted buckle allows easier donning and doffing while wearing.

Currently in trials with Special Operations customers, the Caiman UL is available for contract, with expected commercial availability in 2026.
