Kayrank Launches New Website

Monday, May 22nd, 2017

It’s been years since we last mentioned Kayrank, a small Veteran owned business which offers their Helmet Rank System.

It consists of polymer plates, sized to fit a helmet NVG mount, which are engraved with military rank insignia. This subdued device can be worn placed in the mount during the day and removed and stored when NODs are worn.

When we first mentioned the Kayrank Helmet Rank System, readers had some interesting comments. They couldn’t fathom displaying rank on the helmet even though we did it for decades.

However, despite numerous negative comments here on SSD, they’ve managed to stay in business, and thrive. In fact, they recently updated their website.

Kayrank offers plates for US Army enlisted and officer ranks, SPC through BG (minus SGM). They’ve also introduced warrant officer ranks.

Kayrank Helmet Rank System Now Available

Monday, July 22nd, 2013

It was just in January that we told you about the crowd funding campaign to produce the Kayrank Helmet Rank System. While it stirred quite a bit of debate among SSD readers, and although it wasn’t funded, the creator went ahead and raised the money himself. Now, it’s available for order.

Essentially, the Kayrank Helmet Rank System consists of polymer plates, sized to fit a NVG mount that are engraved with military rank insignia. Before everyone was issued NVGs we used to sew our rank on the front of our helmets just like on our patrol caps. When night vision became more common and almost every helmet now sports a VAS shroud of one sort or another, there is no place to attach the rank. This subdued device can be worn in the mount during the day and removed and stored when NODs are worn. Of course, I’m retired, so I’m not threatened in the least but by the Kayrank. But, it does have merits for folks in those units that want you to display your rank on your helmet.

Maybe they’d be more interesting if they displayed morale images rather than rank. I wonder if I could get one with the SSD logo?

Kayrank Helmet Rank System

Wednesday, January 30th, 2013

Kayrank

Created by an Army Combat Veteran stationed at Ft Hood, the Kayrank Helmet Rank System is being crowdfunded by Indiegogo. By its own description, it is a military grade, durable, tactical device used to identify the rank of the individual wearing the Kevlar Helmet. The patented design is a rank device that snaps into the Night Vision Device (NVD) bracket on the Army Combat Helmet (ACH). The device can be easily removed when the NVD’s require reattachment.

So far, only Army ranks are available.
