"Night vision is the only super power you can buy." I am ready to "identify" as superhuman!!!! I have looked around the forum, but best I can tell we don't have a tactial helmet pic thread here at CFF. Please post up what your running with a brief description of your rig!!!
I have been pulling a lot of extra duty moonlighting to get into the helmet mounted Nigh Vision + COMs game. To me the force multiplication of a good helmet with some sort of NVG and reliable Coms is a real advantage. I am in LEO but am not on SWAT or anything where I have access to these kind of tools, so I am on my own. I am still in the money saving phase working hard for the $$$ but I am motivated to have good gear to train with and use and am willing to work the brutal hours it takes to get there. I know there are guys on this forum who are old hat (see what I did there) at this and I would love to see the rigs the CFF members have come up with.
Personally, as a first move, I am leaning heavily towards a bump helmet with thermals. Currently, I am open to recommendations on a good bump chassis so long as it is compatible with the Wilcox g24. As HMTs go, the product that has the most appeal for me is the N-Vision NOX 18. Thermal is a HUGE investment for me and will require a lot of extra duty and side hustle to acquire. However, for my situation, a versatile thermal offers capabilities that are more desirable than conventional light intensification NVGs. On a purchase of this nature and $$$ amount I am only interested in USA made products and will gladly put in the time to earn the cash necessary to buy quality US products. The Iray RH25 was on my radar, but for the same money it's looking like I can have a superior thermal for the money, comparable capability and keep my 6K in the states. I like the ability to have HMT that can also pull double duty mounted on a weapon. In the future, I may pair this with a standard PVS-14. I know most folks go NVG (light intesification) then thermal, but I will be going thermals first.
Show me your rigs!!! Hopefully in time I will show you mine!!!
