We showed you this helmet yesterday in conjunction with the release of the Ballistic Ears and Visor. It’s completely new and called the EXFIL Ballistic SL. It weighs 2.22 (size 1) or 2.31 (size 2) complete with shell, rails, retention and impact liner.

It also introduces the SL Rail which is 25% lighter than the standard EXFIL Rail and will accept the Ballistic Visor.

One way to tell the SL from previous versions of the EXFIL Ballistic Helmet is by the Wilcox SL Shroud (at the top of the dual image). It offers a 35% weight reduction over the the previous W Shroud. Manufactured from an aluminum insert and glass filled Polymer body, it is compatible with retractable lanyard systems.

It’s certified to NIJ IIIA. The 9mm backface signature is <25.4mm @ 1195 ft/sec. Frag performance is 17 gr v50 >/= 2400 ft/sec.

Back in OCT, TW said on their Facebook that they were shooting for a mid-NOV shipping date, so I'd guess they're not too far off from an official release at this juncture.

OP,

TW makes good shit.

A 2.2 lb ballistic helmet, with rails/accouterments is pretty ****ing light.

Let's keep it about the technical and performance attributes of the gear, and not the politics. If you're interested in that stuff, just review the previous thread(s). Off topic content has been removed.

Apparently they're available or soon to be available with a summer release of the ballistic ears and eye protection visor which is frag rated.

Wish we could get some firsthand information on usage with the eye and ear pro on the Ballistic SL.

They are super light. I had to chance to wear one for about 10 minutes. I don't have any info on the eye or ear pro.

anyone know if the new Ballistic SL will be available during their July 4th sale?

Thinking I should've picked up a lid a long time ago instead of waiting on TW.
