The M-216 Helmet has not been made available yet. The below description is from a SHOT Show 2017 preview.

The M-216™ marks a return to ski helmet production for Team Wendy. The M-216™ is being released in 2017 in honor of Wendy Moore, the company's namesake. Wendy tragically passed away following a traumatic brain injury suffered while skiing on Mammoth Mountain, CA in 1997. The M-216™ is the first ever purpose built ski helmet to integrate tactical modularity and scalability. The helmet includes an integrated front shroud compatible with GoPro camera mounts and a variety of headlamps, as well as offering the capability to mount night vision and thermal optics for rescue operations. The side accessory rail was developed in collaboration with Princeton Tec®, for seamless low profile integration of a variety of their task lights (MPLS Point, Switch, and Switch Rail). 

Other features include:

  • Glass-reinforced polycarbonate shroud for mounting NOD's, cameras and head lamps
  • Hybrid shell design - ABS/PC copolymer hard front shell provides reinforcement for mounted accessories, and an in-mold PC rear shell reduces weight

  • 8 adjustable crown vents have three positions: full open, half open and full closed for completely on-the-fly user selectable comfort

Retention System:

  • Customized Boa® Closure System for precise fit adjustment with single handed quick release
  • Under the chin strap utilizes Fidlock® magnetic buckle closure for one handed operation even while wearing gloves

Accessories:

  • Forward mounting position of the rail directly interfaces with Princeton Tec® MPLS Point, Switch, and Switch Rail lights to provide an extremely low profile, fully integrated task light
