We first showed you the Mission Configurable Helmet Cover during AUSA 2012. Since then, it’s seen some limited use and a bit of development. During a recent visit to Op-Core’s Boston Factory, they showed me an enhanced model that will join the original version we’ve shown you in the past.
I’ve got to say that I still love the thing. It’s a great way to enhance the capability of your ACH-style helmet with the addition of not only a cover, but also VAS Shroud and ARC Rails. And all this with the addition of a cover and the pulling of a drawstring.

I’ve been really interested in getting my hands on one of these, provided it can hold a set of NVGs stable. Have they mentioned what allows the fabric to hold the shroud/NVG stable without a screw? Also, any idea what the price point is expected to be?
Video, Editor’s and Mfr Rep’s posts in the Comments explain much:

The Ops-Core website lists this at $172
Will this be offered in a UCP version? There’s no UCP listed on the website.
For the price listed, I’d definitely be in for one, was about to pick up a set of ARCs and get the drill out, but if this can be had in UCP, I’d pick one up ASAP.
