Warrior is pleased to announce that NOCSAE has partially reinstated its license agreement which will permit Warrior to begin shipping the Regulator II immediately. The Regulator II has been developed as part of Warrior’s goal to continuously improve its product line. The Regulator II is a new model, separate from the Regulator and can be easily identified by a large model denotation (“Regulator II”) on the rear of the helmet. The Regulator has no marking in the same location on the rear of the helmet. Besides this difference, the exterior look of both helmets is identical.

It is important to be able to distinguish between the Regulator and the Regulator II. As a result, any removal, tampering with, obscuring or covering of any Model information and/or NOCSAE logos on the Regulator II helmet, or any helmet, is prohibited and will void any and all NOCSAE certifications for that helmet.

Should you have any questions regarding the Regulator or Regulator II helmets, please do not hesitate to contact Warrior Customer Service by phone: (800) 966-7845 or email: [email protected].

This statement is to provide you with an update on Warrior’s efforts to re-certify the Regulator helmet with NOCSAE:

Warrior received the decertification notice from NOCSAE regarding its Regulator helmet on November 24, 2014. NOCSAE indicated that Warrior would need to pass an SEI QA/QC audit before certification could be reinstated. Warrior immediately scheduled an expedited audit with SEI, including onsite inspections at Warrior and at Warrior’s helmet supplier, which were completed in mid-December with passing test results immediately provided to NOCSAE. Warrior continues to have full confidence in the quality and safety of its Regulator helmet and is making every effort to achieve re-certification as quickly as possible. As such, Warrior is optimistic that re-certification is imminent, and will continue to provide updates as they become available.

Simultaneously, Warrior expedited the necessary internal and external testing of its Regulator II helmet which was developed as part of Warrior’s goal to continuously improve its product line and which offers a slight modification in design. Warrior wanted to aggressively make all efforts to have helmets, with a licensed NOCSAE logo, available as quickly as possible to supply to our many loyal customers. External testing of the Regulator II was performed at ICS, an independent, NOCSAE certified lab with passing test results immediately provided to NOCSAE. With all of the required testing and audit data and information for both helmets provided to NOCSAE by the end of December, Warrior was authorized to commence production of the Regulator II helmets as of January 2, 2015, which Warrior did, but has waited on final certification of the Regulator II prior to making any shipments. Warrior is pleased to announce today that it has received formal NOCSAE certification for the Regulator II helmet, and can begin shipping immediately. The full Regulator II safety manual can be found on our website, and important information regarding label tampering can be found in the product safety manual, on Warrior’s website, and below.*

As stated above, Warrior is continuing to aggressively press for the re-certification of the Regulator, which Warrior maintains it is entitled to, and is hopeful that NOCSAE will address this important issue soon. In the meantime, we appreciate your understanding and continued patience.
