Lighter Protection with ENDURANCE

TEAM WENDY has introduced its new EXFIL Endurance Ballistic Helmet, a lightweight helmet designed to reduce fatigue during extended operations without compromising protection. Featuring no-thru-hole shell technology, advanced impact protection and an enhanced cooling liner, the helmet prioritizes comfort, fit and performance for military and law enforcement operators.

The EXFIL Endurance reflects the complementary capabilities brought together following AVON PROTECTION’s 2020 acquisitions of TEAM WENDY and CERADYNE’s ballistic protection business:

• At its core is a ballistic shell made from ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), a low-density material that combines high strength and energy absorption with low weight. The complete helmet system weighs approximately 2.29 pounds and is available in Black, MultiCam, Coyote Brown and Ranger Green.
• The shell incorporates Ceradyne Ballistic Technology with a no-thru-hole design and mechanically fastened rails and shroud, eliminating penetrations through the ballistic material. Patented Seamless Shell construction separately preserves fiber continuity to support consistent performance across the shell.
• EXFIL Endurance also features the EXFIL AIR FIT Liner with patented ZORBIUM Foam Technology, developed through extensive research into traumatic brain injury prevention to provide industry-leading impact protection, comfort and breathability. The liner incorporates integrated air channels, cooling fabric and the same cooling pads used in TEAM WENDY’s RIFLETECH ballistic helmet to help manage heat during extended wear.

• Complementing the liner, the CAM FIT Precision Retention System uses cable support, a BOA rear dial and CAM FIT locks to provide exceptional comfort, stability and all-day wearability.

Protection by the Numbers

The EXFIL Endurance is engineered to address multiple types of impact, with published performance against both ballistic and blunt-impact requirements. It meets NIJ III-A/HG2 according to NIJ STD 0106.01/0108.01 and demonstrates a 17-grain V50 of at least 2,400 ft/s (731 m/s).

The helmet also shows backface deformation of less than 25.4 mm at all locations when tested with 9mm FMJ RN rounds at 1,195 ft/s (365 m/s) and exceeds the ACH Blunt Impact Requirement AR/PD10-02.
