NVG Integration & Operational Use
-
•Designed to sit behind NVGs — low-profile geometry does not interfere with goggle operation
-
•Removable rubber gaskets keep debris and brownout particulates out of eyes — gaskets pull off for ventilation when fogging is a concern (keep nose piece in place to prevent lens-on-nose contact)
-
•Bungee cleat system — one-hand tightening/loosening in engaged position; lock bungee at desired tension
-
•Stow positions: Mid (donning/doffing, eye-wipe, chinstrap access) • Up (NVG-compatible storage) • Velcro-tab stow on helmet shell
-
•Rail clips: Small clips for FAST High Cut / SHC / Sentry ARCs — Large clips for ACH / ACH Skeleton / FAST SHC Skeleton ARCs
Helmet Compatibility
One Size Fits All. Compatible with all Ops-Core FAST (any cut), Sentry, and Gentex ACH/TBH helmets equipped with ARC Rails, regardless of shell cut. Rail clip selection determines ARC type — small and large clips included in kit.
