These things are not cheap. How do you store them? Throw them in a soft case and bag it? Hard sided foam lined case? Right on the helmet, hanging in your closet?

I just got my first set and I'm looking for ideas.


Let's see your setup!

Used pelican 1520 case. TNVC padded case to protect the nods. Plenty of room for beacons, flashlights and spare batteries. Not super sexy but it works.

TNVC padded pouch nested inside the helmet.

Here's four sets of NODs nested inside their respective helmets:

Nods nest if I'm taking it out of the house. It's obnoxiously priced for what it is, but a clever piece of kit.

In the house my binos sit in a tiny pelican case atop the safe.

Same. The Tnvc pouch stuffed into the helmet works great. Then I'll put it in the drawstring bag the helmet came with, or a cheap backpack, so it doesn't look like I'm carrying thousands of dollars of things lol.

I ordered a NVG-PPE and a hard case. Should be good to go. I'd love to get the helmet bag too but that will likely have to wait.

I'm hoping more folks post their setups and give othes ideas.

USGI PVS14 pouch (Tactical Tailor I think?) tucked inside the helmet with chin straps through the molle straps so it won't fall out.

Mine are usually mounted on a helmet, hanging on a 'Helmet Hanger' on the closet wall. When traveling, I have that way overpriced AXL thing.

Bridged 14s in a TNVC padded case, stored inside the helmet.  The helmet is stored in a First Spear Helmet Hut, along with spare batteries, lens cloth, sacrificial lenses, chem lights, Crye Skull Cap and other goodies and hung on a heavy duty hanger in the office.  That way I can grab that one bag if I need NV and have everything I'd want.  Also have a Pelican 1200 set up to carry the tubes, but it doesn't see much use.

Do you use a battery pack? I've had so many batteries leak recently that I'm paranoid and would likely take them out if I wasn't using the device...

No, but I remove the AA Lithium and have it stowed right above.

FYI, someone on Amazon has packaged together the Iris, SAC, and Pinch Covers and is selling a 2-pack for about $85. Those are them on mine, sans Pinch Covers.

toss em in a ski goggle soft pouch and sometimes use a hazard freight apache case for the tubes/batteries if traveling. helmet, i don’t care about.

i never got super fancy or bought pricier protection stuff even tho it wouldn’t be a bad idea for a >10k toy & thermal.

I bought a set for $70 back on prime day.  They work great and are well made l.  You can also find them on eBay, sometimes cheaper than Amazon.  You just have to shop around.

Okayyyyy.  Lol.

Actually I'm not sure what to say that the photos don't show.  The main compartment has a nice big space for the helmet, with some elastic storage on each side.  The back of the compartment (bottom of bag when stood up) has organization for your gear which you can rearrange by moving the velcro pads.  It's pretty simple.  The front has that zippered pouch along the top, and is about as deep as the velcro goes.  I put paper stuff in there, button style batteries, allen keys, etc.

Oh and it has a single strap from the center of the top to either bottom corner, for carrying like a cool kid.

Aaaaand it looks like it's not on their site any more.  Was going to put a link here.

Throw mine in a tnvc pouch in the helmet on an agilite backpack.  I buckle it to the headrest when patrolling.  Flir, ifak, batts, etc in the main pocket.

I just put them inside a regular GP pouch with some foam around them. Good housings are not fragile.

I know, which is why I wanted to drop a link.

It was available only from Steele Industries' website.

It was $79.98.  Looks like it's no longer available. I'll keep my eyes peeled for it.

This when it leaves the house, otherwise mounted on a helmet hanging on the gun wall. They will fit duals as well.
