Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Team Wendy RIFLETECH™ Helmet designed for?
The RIFLETECH™ Helmet is designed for law enforcement and tactical users who need ballistic head protection with modern accessory integration, stable fit, and comfort for extended operational wear.
What is the difference between ballistic helmets and bump helmets?
Ballistic helmets are designed to help protect against specified ballistic threats and fragmentation based on the helmet’s tested rating, while bump helmets focus on impact protection from blunt force and are not intended for ballistic threats.
What standards or testing should I consider when selecting a ballistic helmet?
Standards and testing vary by helmet model and agency requirements. Selection commonly considers ballistic test rating, backface deformation performance, impact protection, and retention stability. Safeware can help align options to your spec.
How do I size and fit the Team Wendy RIFLETECH™ Helmet?
Sizing is typically based on head circumference and fit adjustments using pads and the retention system. Safeware can help with sizing guidance and fit strategies for team deployments.
How do I choose the correct helmet cut (high/mid/full) for my mission?
Cut selection depends on comms headset clearance, accessory mounting needs, and desired coverage. High cuts improve headset compatibility; mid/full cuts provide more coverage depending on the model and mission profile.
Is the RIFLETECH™ Helmet compatible with NVG mounts and helmet accessories?
Yes. Tactical helmet configurations commonly support NVG mounting and accessory integration such as rails, lights, cameras, and counterweights, depending on the selected configuration.
Can the helmet be used with communications headsets and hearing protection?
Yes. Many configurations are designed to support communications headsets and ear protection, with fit and comfort influenced by cut style, rail type, and pad/retention selection.
Is the RIFLETECH™ Helmet compatible with gas masks or respirators?
Many configurations are compatible with commonly used gas masks and respirators. Proper sizing and pad/retention adjustment are important, and agencies should conduct fit testing with issued respiratory protection to confirm compatibility.
Can the RIFLETECH™ Helmet be reconfigured later as needs change?
Yes. Helmet systems are often modular, allowing upgrades or changes to pads, retention components, rails, shrouds, and accessories as mission requirements evolve.
How should a ballistic helmet be maintained and when should it be replaced?
Inspect routinely for damage, UV/chemical exposure, and worn components. Pads and retention parts may need periodic replacement. Follow manufacturer guidance and your policy for service life and retirement after significant impacts.
