The EPIC™ Protector ballistic helmet, designed with mobile field force police officers in mind, is substantially lighter than the ACH. It provides premium comfort and comes configured with Team Wendy’s CAM-FIT™ BOA Dial retention, EPIC Air® Fit liner system, new reverse dovetail accessory rails and front cover plate to ensure riot shield alignment.
The EPIC™ ballistic helmet line for law enforcement professionals is a result of the innovative synergies between Avon Protection, Team Wendy, and Ceradyne. The series features lightweight high-performance material paired with Team Wendy® retention and liner systems for maximum comfort.
Designed to provide the ultimate in head protection against ballistic threats in addition to mitigating head trauma from blunt impacts, all EPIC™ helmets feature Ceradyne seamless ballistic shell technology. This leading-edge shell technology incorporates a proprietary Thermoplastic composites forming/molding process that is fine-tuned for Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene fiber composites. Thanks to its high strength and low-density combination, this fiber has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any available fiber on the market.
