The EPIC™ Specialist ballistic helmet features exceptional performance to meet the tactical operator's demands. Fully outfitted for SWAT or riot team members, it comes standard with a durable aluminum NVG shroud, new reverse dovetail rails, exterior VELCRO® loop patches, EPIC Air® Fit liner and CAM FIT™ retention.

The EPIC™ Specialist delivers superior comfort while being substantially lighter than the ACH. It also includes a Shock Cord Kit for increased stability of Night Vision Devices.

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.

Also available in Full-Cut and Mid-Cut, please call to inquire or to place an order for either of those options.
