One of my buddies who has to travel with NODs a lot for work has been bitching about existing helmet cases. I'll post what pictures he sent me. The idea is basically a larger padded helmet case where you can leave your NODs assembled and travel with them that way. I like the idea and I'd be in for one myself if you are interested since I get tired of taking my shit apart constantly to move it back into the bag, same as him and half the other dual users I know. Thoughts?

Also,

The front retention D ring should be adjustable. A few rows and columns of lightweight MOLLE sewn or integrated into the front portion of the bottom would be perfect. We use and test a variety of head mounted sensors, not just thermal overlay. Being able to adjust the retention within the bag itself would be ideal.



Thanks, Stu!

World wide. Gucci has sewn one. 95% of the time though, the helmet with sensor needs to be able to be used right out of the luggage.

I had to add to my own extension. Ideally, the whole retention strap would be about 32" long, to be able to double back on it.

About 8 5/8" - 8 3/4" tall:

You have to stretch the V1 Otte bag quite a bit to close it. Also, crown down allows you store the mount with the amount of tilt that you use. Crown up doesnt allow for this.

Well that’s a plus but just chuck them in the vehicle and go they are tough.

I need to get the software for the laser cutter so I can lay some of this stuff out for the hell of it.

Still mulling on all of this


Don't like the nods cantileavered out there with no support/protection.  The part that's giving me a headache atm.  In a rigid pelican and foam a non issue but a flexible bag yah

In the pictures above I also didn't have the Wilcox mount adjusted all the way out. It was at about half. That would add a bit more to the bag but not much.

I have the SKD TAC version. It’s… ok. In no way would it work with even just the mount on the helmet.


I personally would only travel with the NODs IN the bowl of the helmet (for extra protection), but that’s me, I’m poor.
