DESCRIPTION
The Team Wendy® SAR (Search And Rescue) BACKCOUNTRY™ is the first purpose-built search and rescue helmet to provide accessory mounting capabilities while meeting key industrial and mountaineering performance standards.
The helmet features a glass-reinforced Polycarbonate shroud that is designed to handle lights and cameras. It also includes a sport-style under the chin retention system with a Fidlock® magnetic buckle for easy one-handed operation and a BOA® Fit System to dial in precise fit adjustment while providing single-handed quick release.
The Team Wendy® SAR helmet comes standard with two vent covers to prevent objects and debris from entering the crown vents of the helmet.
PRODUCT FEATURES
ZORBIUM® FOAM LINER
Consisting of two parts: the Polystyrene liner itself that provides protection against blows and the padding for extreme comfort. There are a total of 6 pads (3 shapes in 2 thicknesses) which provide a custom fit.
SPORT-STYLE RETENTION
The helmet features a retention system with a Fidlock® magnetic buckle for easy one-handed operation.
BOA® FIT SYSTEM
The micro-adjustable BOA® system stabilizes the weight of the helmet by distributing a light, even pressure around the head. The feeling is similar to a baseball cap. Tightening and releasing tension is extremely simple with this system.
SHROUD

VENTING HOLES
The shell features 12 venting holes to maximize airflow during use, preventing the buildup of sweat and moisture. Additionally it comes with 2 vent covers. This to prevent objects and debris from entering the crown vents if needed.
