CLEVELAND -- Team Wendy, maker of leading-edge, multiple-application products that serve to protect against serious and potentially life-threatening impact-related injuries, has released a new tactical helmet platform that is ideal for military applications.
The company has launched the EXFIL LTP -- a Lightweight Tactical Polymer helmet that provides Tier I operators with best-in-class head protection and a comprehensive and high-end accessory platform for operating environments that require the use of night vision, cameras, lighting and other add-ons.
The EXFIL LTP is designed for:
Operators across the military, including combat search and rescue (CSAR) teams
Various airborne, heliborne and maritime operations such as visit, board, search and seizure (VBSS)
Training exercises in which low equipment weight and high functionality are priorities
The LTP is an extension of the EXFIL™ line, which launched in 2012 with the release of the highly regarded EXFIL Carbon, Team Wendy's first complete helmet for tactical operators. A leading maker of protective tactical gear, Team Wendy has been the sole supplier of the standard issue helmet pad system to the U.S. Army, Marine Corps and National Guard since 2005.
The EXFIL LTP is now available for pre-order through TeamWendy.com and authorized Team Wendy distributors.

The EXFIL LTP offers the protection, design and functionality that our customers have come to expect from Team Wendy. We are also excited to be rolling out our new Accessory Rail 2.0 System, which will serve as a comprehensive platform for the operator. The EXFIL LTP is a natural evolution in Team Wendy's mission: Innovate to Protect."
