I’ve been using the Ops-Core Skullcrusher for many years when I require Night Vision but I don’t need a helmet, for example, while hunting. It’s much more comfortable than the old headsets issued with the PVS-7s and 14s because it is well padded and offers several points of adjustment. Additionally, it incorporates rails at each side and has accommodation for a counterweight.
Recently, they updated the design by no longer molding the shroud plate directly into the Skullcrusher but rather offering a three hole design that will accommodate their mount or three hole mounts from other companies such as Wilcox.
Figures I buy the Crye Skullcap and within a month Ops-Core and Wilcox both release better versions of the same thing…
The Crye model isn’t terrible, but the adjustment range on the the straps at the chin are asymmetric, so unless you’ve got a giant head, it pulls to one side.
This has been around for years.
As these things get bigger they’re just going to become helmets again.
Once again, it’s been around for years.

It’s almost a bicycling helmet. I could use it for night rides.
