New RECON Tactical Bump Helmet

TEAM WENDY unveils RECON Tactical, a next-generation bump helmet that brings protection, fit and utility together in one configurable design for search and rescue (SAR), tactical law enforcement, military and training missions.

RECON Tactical combines a streamlined profile, secure fit and broad accessory compatibility into one adaptable offering for diverse environments. Its development was guided by a dedicated research initiative aimed at better understanding how modern rescue professionals operate, with additional field input from FEMA responders, firefighters, the U.S. Coast Guard and other highly specialized teams.

With RECON Tactical, TEAM WENDY focused on protection against head collisions and falling objects, accessory-ready compatibility and comfortable long-wear fit to deliver a helmet that is as adaptable as the professionals who rely on it. Features include military-standard interfaces for headsets, lights and goggles, including an NVG shroud with a machined aluminum plate, bungee cords with hooks to stabilize front-mount accessories, side rails, as well as external Velcro loop panels.

A low-profile hybrid shell reinforced with a carbon fiber crown gives RECON Tactical a streamlined silhouette and added strength, while maintaining a secure-on-the-head feel:

• The CAM FIT retention system utilizes cam lock sliders for simple one-handed adjustment.
• The BOA dial feature stabilizes the weight of the helmet by distributing light, even pressure around the head, similar in feel to a baseball cap.
• Zorbium foam pads, shell vents and lattice cooling pads balance impact absorption, airflow and long-wear support.
• Customers can also select either a chin cup or sport-style retention option based on mission needs and preference.

A Bump Up

Launching in M/L and XL sizes in red, yellow, black, white and coyote brown, RECON Tactical can be further customized with vent covers and reflective tape kits. A SOLAS kit will be available for high-visibility SAR requirements.

The helmet delivers impact protection to EN 12492:2012 for mountaineering helmets, EN 1385:2012 for whitewater helmets, NATO AEP 2902- Method H and U.S. ACH AR/PD 14-02 for combat helmets—benchmarks that reflect flexible engineering across multiple mission sets.
