Team Wendy® EPIC® Responder Plus

Response Ready for Everyday Heroes

Designed for patrol officers who serve as the first line of response in any community, the Team Wendy EPIC® Responder Plus helmet is built for the realities of day-to-day policing. From routine calls that can shift without warning to traffic stops, perimeter assignments, and community response, it provides dependable protection, comfort, and stability when it matters most. Lightweight and practical, it supports officers who need to stay mobile, focused, and ready to act—without adding unnecessary bulk over the course of a full shift.

Built with CERADYNE™ Ballistic Technology with no-thru hole design and mechanical fastened rails and mounts, the EPIC™ Responder Plus delivers proven protection in a streamlined design tailored for patrol use. The EPIC® AIR FIT Liner System with ZORBIUM® Foam Technology together with the boltless CAM FIT® precision retention system with rear BOA® dial ensures a secure, adjustable fit that stays consistent and comfortable through extended wear and varied conditions. A front cover plate is integrated to aid in the proper alignment of a band-mounted face shield, giving officers a straightforward way to enhance protection when the situation calls for it. Built on a foundation of DoD-driven design, it keeps patrol officers equipped with reliable, mission-ready performance on every call.
