MTEK's STRIKE Ballistic Helmet is a high-quality helmet that lends itself to a slick, simple setup while staying incredibly lightweight for the protection it offers.  If you don't need a lot of equipment attached to your helmet but want excellent coverage and minimal weight, you can't get much better.

Ops-Core helmet systems are one of our go-to options when we want ballistic protection, reliability in performance, and comfort all in one package. The FAST SF High-Cut weighs in under three pounds and offers protection against fragmentation, blunt impacts, and level IIIA pistol threats.  As for color options, you can have this helmet in any color you want—as long as it's Tan 499.

While most ballistic helmets are rated for protection against fragmentation, blunt impact, and specific pistol threats, the RF1 is made to withstand all that while adding protection from rifle rounds like 5.56, 7.62x39, and 7.62x51. Sure, this helmet is heavy and expensive, but its level of protection is unparalleled.

The Wilcox J-Arm is our favorite option for attaching a PVS-14 to a helmet mount. The swivel design allows you to change which eye your monocular sits over with the press of a button, and unlike the USGI option, this arm features a dovetail mounting interface, making it far more solid and compatible with the Wilcox G24 and other popular mounts.

The RNVG-A is an articulating version of the rugged, lightweight, bombproof 7075-T6 aluminum RNVGs. The RNVG-A is our most expensive unit, but it offers some great features like individual pod shut-off, adjustable pod tension, intuitive switching, and, most obviously—articulation.

In this YouTube video, we brought Scott from Nocturnality back out to talk helmet loadouts with Lucas and Brandon while comparing and contrasting the features of our three binocular night vision options, the RNVG, the RPNVG, and our newest addition, the RNVG-A.
