VAS Shroud is a low-profile Shroud for mounting Night Vision Devices to ACH, MICH, PASGT, and Lightweight Marine Helmets. It was developed to replace the original helmet “hook and strap” mounting system issued for use with the majority of PVS 7/14 systems currently fielded. And while the hook and strap mount system does offer the benefit of being quickly removable, it has drawbacks with respect to weight, stability and snag hazards.
With the advent of other “permanent” NVD mount products from various manufacturers, many of the stability and snag issues have been improved. Unfortunately, these systems require users to replace their current solution with completely new mount arm and shroud components that cost hundreds of dollars more, and yet offer essentially the same level of attachment functionality. Worse yet, these new NVD mount designs actually increase the amount of weight in the shroud, which must be carried around on the helmet at all times (like during the day) when the NVD is not even attached.
The Ops-Core VAS Shroud offers a simple upgrade solution to give anyone using the Standard US Army Mount Arm #A3256368 the increased performance of other high-end mount systems at a fraction of the cost. Not only does it resolve all of the deficiencies in the original hook and strap design, but it is also the lightest, lowest profile and least obtrusive “permanent” mounting solution currently available. |
