Please note that the warning does not mean our products will cause cancer or reproductive harm. Prop 65 may be best defined as a “Right to Know” law, and Prop 65 warnings are not an indication that a product is violating safety standards or regulations. View our Prop 65 Policy Statement.

How do I make a purchase with a government issued credit card?

You should be able to place your order on our website. If it is declined it may be due to how your government credit card is coded. If you are having issues, please contact info[at]teamwendy[dot]com for further assistance.

I have an APO/FPO/DPO address - how do I place an order?

Our website will accept orders that have an APO/FPO/DPO address. When you checkout, enter your shipping address information as follows:

• Enter your full name 
• Enter your grade, unit or box number
• Use the second address line for additional information if needed.

I’ve been trying to place an online order and my credit card keeps getting declined. What am I doing wrong?

The most common reason for an order being declined is address verification mismatch. Ensure that the billing address you enter for your order exactly matches the address that the credit card is billed to.

What shipping options can I choose from when ordering?

At present and in the best interest of our cusomters, UPS is the only shipping vendor available to Team Wendy customers.

Team Wendy temporarily suspended USPS as a shipping option in response to widespread USPS delivery delays that began in 2020 due to unprecedented package volumes and limited employee availability due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will reactivate USPS as a shipping option once USPS resolves its widespread delivery issues.

USPS delivery is still available for shipments to P.O. Boxes and APO/FPO/DPO addresses only.

Why can't I see the shipping method I want when placing my order online?

Depending on your location, only those shipping options for your area/location will display.

How soon will my order ship?

See our Shipping Policy for more information.

I need to return product for an exchange or refund. How do I do that?

If you are not satisfied with your Team Wendy product and purchased it on TeamWendy.com, you may return it within 30 days of receipt of shipment. Returns will only be accepted if the item is unused, in its original condition and its original packaging. See instructions in Return Policy. 

NOTE: If you purchased your item/s from a Team Wendy dealer (list of authorized dealers), you must contact them to coordinate the return/exchange, and their return policy will apply.

Do you sell helmets with retention systems for left-handers?

We offer an LED (left eye dominant) option on the EXFIL^® Ballistic SL and EXFIL^® Ballistic helmets.

How can I find out what type of performance standards your helmets meet?

This information can be found on each helmet page, or you can contact us via email or call 216.738.2518.

If I’m in between sizes, what size EXFIL® helmet should I order?

We recommend going up to the larger size. You can customize the fit with the comfort pads that are included with your helmet purchase. If more pads are needed, we sell additional comfort pad sets. Check under the appropriate helmet accessories page.

I need to wash my Team Wendy helmet liner pads. What’s the best way to do that?

All of our liner system pads (CloudLine^®, EPIC Air^®, EPIC^® and ZAP^™) can be removed and hand washed with a mild soap. Allow pads to air dry completely before reinstalling. Do not wash in a washing machine.

Will your helmet liner systems fit an OpsCore FAST helmet?

All of our liner systems will fit the Ops-Core FAST helmet, but typically require replacing the FAST retention system (chinstrap) as well, because it is integrated with the FAST liner. We recommend the CloudLine^® System or EPIC Air^® Liner System and CAM FIT™ Retention System. Most customers prefer this combination in the FAST shell.

Will your helmet liner systems fit a Crye AirFrame™ helmet?

Team Wendy's EPIC Air^® Liner System and ZAP^™ Liner Systems will fit a Crye Airframe^™ helmet.

I need to replace the chin strap on my EXFIL® helmet. Will the ones you sell on your website fit?

No. The liners and retention systems in all Team Wendy EXFIL^® helmets are integrated, and cannot be replaced in the field. If your chin strap on a Team Wendy helmet needs to be replaced, please contact us via email or call 216.738.2518.

Do you sell retention systems for left-handers?

Yes, we currently offer an LED (left eye dominant) option on the EXFIL^® Ballistic SL and EXFIL^® Ballistic helmets, as well as on our CAM FIT^™ Retention System.

Will your CAM FIT™ Retention System fit my Crye AirFrame helmet?

Yes, we make a CAM FIT^™ Retention System that is compatible with most common shell types, including the following: ACH/MICH, FAST, AirFrame™, USMC LWH and PASGT. See our retention systems page for sizing information.

Will your retention systems fit my Ops-Core FAST helmet?

Yes, our retention systems fit the Ops-Core FAST helmets; however, the ballistic-rated hardware included in our CAM FIT^™ and CAM FIT^™ H-Back Retention Systems is not long enough to go through both the rail and shell. We recommend saving the hardware from the original Ops-Core system and using it to install the Team Wendy retention, or purchasing the CAM FIT^™ ARC Rail Hardware Kit. See our retention systems page for this hardware kit and for retention sizing information.
