PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The EPIC™ Responder Plus ballistic helmet, intended for law enforcement patrol officers, features exceptional performance and is substantially lighter than the ACH. It offers maximum adjustability and comes configured with Team Wendy’s CAM-FIT™ BOA Dial retention, EPIC Air® Fit liner system and front cover plate for face shield alignment.
The EPIC™ ballistic helmet line for law enforcement operators 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.
*NOTE: The EPIC RESPONDER PLUS differs from the EPIC RESPONDER by using the CAM-FIT BOA retention straps and EPIC Air Fit liner.
Available in Full-Cut, Mid-Cut and High-Cut
