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.

I want to purchase with a government issued credit card, how do I do that?

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.

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?

You can select from UPS, FedEx or USPS.  Please note that if you select UPS or FedEX you cannot use a P.O. Box for your address, you need an actual street address.

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

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

Yes, we only offer this option on the EXFIL® Ballistic helmet.

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 (EPIC™, EPIC Air™, Revolve™ and ZAP™) can be removed and hand washed with a mild soap, then (completely) air-dried 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 OpsCore FAST helmet, but typically require replacing the FAST retention system (chinstrap) as well, because it is integrated with the FAST liner. We recommend the EPIC™ or EPIC Air™ liner system and CAM FIT™ retention system. Most customers prefer this combination in the FAST shell. See our liner selection guide for more information.

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

ZAP™ and EPIC Air™ liner systems will fit a Crye Airframe™ helmet. See our liner selection guide for more information.

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 replaced, please contact us via email or call 216.738.2518.

Do you sell retention systems for left-handers?

Yes, we currently offer as an option on the EXFIL® Ballistic helmet and on our CAM FIT™ retention system.

Will your CAM FIT™ retention system fit my Crye AirFrame helmet?

Yes, we make a CAM FIT™ 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 OpsCore FAST helmet?

Yes, our retention systems fit the 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 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.
