From ski helmet to military
Team Wendy´s first ski helmet was launched in 1998. At that time it wasn´t really "in" or "cool" to wear a ski helmet. However, this attitude of the public gradually began to change, and it was also thanks to the Team Wendy. Team Wendy used its proprietary Zorbium foam liner, which sent company´s business in a new direction.
In 2005 the Zorbium® Action Pad NSN Liner System became the officially approved liner system for all standard issue U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Navy ground combat helmets.
