Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.

The Team Wendy SAR is the first Search and Rescue helmet designed specifically for tactical accessory mounting while meeting stringent industrial and mountaineering performance requirements.

Includes a BOA Fit System for precise fit adjustment and single-handed quick release, as well as a sport-style under-chin retention system with a magnetic buckle for easy one-handed operation.

Shroud made of glass-reinforced polycarbonate that can be used to mount lights or cameras but not night vision devices.

Two vent covers are included as standard to keep objects and debris out of the helmet's crown vents.

EN12492:2012 (Mountaineering), EN1385:2012 (Whitewater), ACH Blunt Impact (AR/PD10-02, 16Dec'13), and Off-Crown Shock Absorption (BS EN 14052:2012) are all requirements.

Questions & Answers

Is a picatinny sttle rail included in the included rails, or do I have to order one separately? Will the aluminum GoPro nvg adaptor work on the front of the camera?

Thank you for showing interest in the EXFIL SAR Backcountry helmet, Marcus. br>A picatinny rail is not included with the SAR accessory rails; you will need to purchase one separately. Team Wendy's products can be found on Amazon. In addition, a GoPro camera will not attach directly to the shroud on the SAR Backcountry; you will need to purchase Team Wendy's Shroud Action Camera Adapter. br>Sincerely,br>THE WENDY TEAM

Will the other colors, particularly the red sar backcountry, be available on Amazon?

Thank you so much for your interest in the Team Wendy EXFIL SAR Backcountry helmet, Angel! br>Please accept our apologies for the delay; additional inventory is on its way to Amazon and should be available soon. If you need it right away, you can buy it from Team Wendy's website.br>Sincerely, br>TEAM WENDY

Will that front mount work with my psv15 night vision mount?

Thank you for showing interest in the EXFIL SAR Backcountry helmet, Haddon! This helmet's shroud can only be used to mount lights or cameras; night vision devices are not compatible. br>You'll need the EXFIL SAR Tactical helmet, which has an NVG-mounting shroud and a chin-strap. When devices are mounted to the shroud, a cup-style retention system aids in load balance. br>Best wishes, br>TEAM WENDY

Is it possible to use picatinny rails with this?

Thank you for contacting Team Wendy, Raleigh! Picatinny rails can be attached to the SAR accessory rail, yes. You'll need to remove the W logo spacer plate from the helmet rail and replace it with a picatinny rail. br>Sincerely,br>THE WENDY TEAM

Selected User Reviews For Team Wendy SAR Backcountry Helmet

The helmet is of good quality

5/5

I've never worn a better helmet. DLP and Kong were the two games I tried. Nothing compares to the quality of this helmet. The fit and quality of the garments are excellent. I've used the nvg mount for rescue more than I expected, with either a gopro for training or a light mount for night missions. However, an ARC rail would be nice on this helmet. It'll be easier to find mounting solutions with ARC because you'll be limited to Team Wendy products, and you won't be able to use a rail with peltors.

This is ideal for technical rescue

5/5

This helmet is fantastic. Wendy was the name I gave her. It was used for HazMat Tech and I frequently forgot it was there. Reliable, light, comfortable, adjustable, multipurpose, and professional are all words that come to mind when thinking of this product. I bought a go-kart. Separately, you can purchase a pro mount and use it to capture incredible footage. I'll be using it for swift water rescue, so unless it breaks down before then, this is a must-have for anyone interested in USAR.

Exceptional

5/5

This is a fantastic helmet, as expected. It may be too small if you have a large head; I believe my head is at the very edge of a comfortable size because it fits without any additional padding.

It's light enough that by the end of the day, you won't notice it

5/5

a pleasant experience At a sar event, I first tried one out. I fell in love with it as soon as I adjusted the tension knob. Today I got mine. On my Search and Rescue team, it's a force multiplier for me.

Great product, and I was able to get it with rails

5/5

Out of the box, it's a perfect fit. My wife gave it to me as a Christmas present, and I love it. Pros: super nice fit, very comfortable. I'm looking forward to using it on my first search and rescue mission. There are no disadvantages that have been discovered. Anyone in the SAR community would and will benefit from this.
