The Batlskin Hellbender™ TE is based on Galvion’s proven PDxT™ platform, widely adopted in military programs worldwide. This new helmet combines advanced ballistic protection with a lightweight Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) core. It is offered in both high-cut and mid/full-cut designs, providing a balance of coverage and modularity for diverse mission requirements. The Hellbender TE is configurable with a suite of accessories and integrates with the APEX™ liner system for superior impact absorption and comfort. It is scheduled for commercial release in mid-2025.

The Batlskin Caiman® SAR helmet, designed for first responders and search-and-rescue operators, features an ultra-lightweight, high-impact polymer shell. Incorporating a newly developed 3-hole shroud and the APEX™ liner system, it ensures stability and comfort in high-stress environments. Available in vented and ventless options, the Caiman SAR comes in five sizes and multiple high-visibility colors, including red, yellow, and orange. This helmet will be available for order in late 2025.

Galvion is a global leader in designing and delivering advanced protective systems and power solutions tailored for military and tactical operators. Originating as part of Revision Military, the company rebranded in 2019 to focus on protective head systems and power management technologies. This strategic move enabled Galvion to hone its expertise in these critical areas, providing innovative solutions for modern warfighters. Galvion’s product portfolio emphasizes two primary domains: protective headgear and power/data management systems.

Operating internationally, Galvion has a presence in North America, Europe, and the UK, with a recent expansion in Gdańsk, Poland, to better support European clients. The company has secured major contracts through NATO, delivering tens of thousands of head systems to member countries, including Norway, Finland, and Sweden.

Innovation lies at the heart of Galvion’s mission. Its advanced research initiatives, such as the Warfighter Lab, focus on understanding and mitigating the physical and cognitive loads faced by soldiers.
