SHOT Show – Ops-Core

This is the Sentry helmet that debuted last year along with the new Moto Mandible and Moto Visor. These are add-ons to the helmet for use in turrets or static positions.

The Moto Visor opens and closes with indexing increments to allow for multiple vented positions and its designed to be used in conjunction with eye pro.

As you can see, it also works with NODs. Granted, there is a slight degradation due to the stand off of the goggles from the eye but it still works.

The Moto Mandible incorporates front vents that exhausts moisture from breathing to prevent the visor from fogging up. This is critical because you can actually wear the visor down to provide full protection. What would be the point of having a visor if you had to keep it up to vent?

Here it’s removed from the helmet and you can see the rear of the ballistic panels. It easily mounts and cantilevers against the edge of t.he shell. It’s held in place via two buckles that fit into the oxygen mask strap receptacles on the rail.

RACS development is complete. Look for an official release in July with orders starting in September.

This gimbal mounted hearing protection incorporates directional hearing augmentation and can be fitted directly over your ears.

Additionally, it can moved into a portage configuration.

Finally, different organizations have different ballistic requirements so now they’re offering multiple performance levels for each of the shell designs.

    Who’s making the electronic ear pro? Sordin, Peltor or niether?

  2. Mr. European says:

    Would it be wishful thinking in asking whether the visor can be used with a gasmask?

  3. Chuck says:

    Wonder if the visor will fit an Airframe.

  4. Reseremb says:

    Finally removable hearing protection that allows rail space, but one question comes to my mind… the headsets can be positioned in intermediate positions? for example a couple inches separated from the ears, or not totally collapsed on the back of the helmet? I like to use that area for batteries and counterweight for balance of the NVGs

    take my money!

  6. Tom says:

    I wish they made a maritime cut bump helmet. That high cut makes for a lot better fit of comtac’s and sordins.

  7. Sunray4 says:

    I very much doubt that you can use the NVG’s

    The eye relief will be totally off and you will glow like a beacon in the dark because of the reflection of the image through the visor material!
