Cleveland-based Team Wendy recently announced the launch of an innovative ski helmet designed to help search and rescue teams. The M-216™ Ski Search and Rescue Helmet provides ski search and rescue (SAR) professionals with a platform that can be scaled up or down to meet the mission requirements by incorporating mounting capabilities not previously available to rescue operators in any ski or snow rated helmet.
With the M-216, Team Wendy has returned to its roots, with its initial mission centered on making the most protective ski helmet in the market. The company has since grown to become a leader in military, law enforcement, and search and rescue products.
"As we celebrate the 20-year anniversary of the founding of Team Wendy, we wanted to leverage our experience protecting professional operators around the world to develop a unique and innovative scalable ski search and rescue helmet," said Jose Rizo-Patron, CEO of Team Wendy, in a press release. "The M-216 symbolizes a return to our roots as Team Wendy's first-ever helmet was produced to protect skiers. We wanted to bring the innovative helmet systems we're known for now in the military and law enforcement space to the ski SAR community."
