I have heard of plenty of folks mounting them but where do you actually mount it on the cap? Any Mohawk action? Pics if possible please!

Crye Counterweight Pouch

Thats a little big I was hoping for something more low profile.

Mohawk works great.  Have been using for two years now.  No probs.  Just hunting.  Will post pics when I have time.

I think the Mohawk is bigger then that.
And I much prefer the location of the pouch vs the Velcro that sits on top of your head. Also the adjustment band has a loop it runs thu to allow adjustment.

I don’t. I closely looked at, and considered one.
I didn’t say anything bad about this particular product and I know the Mohawk works well for lots of people on helmets.
But on a nitecap it’s still my opinion that the matching brand pouch for it is hard to beat, especially w/o modifications. (What would one do about the Velcro poking you in the gap at the back of the nitecap?)

Personally I actually like a lot about the Mohawk, minus the phallus protruding from the top. I like the integrated weights, the battery sleeve, the anchor points, and the loops both top and bottom for chem lights and wire management. If it were offered in a version that didn’t have the “strobe” portion. I would own several.

@TNVC, I’m not sure where the sudden interest is in what items I own or don’t own. Is my opinion invalid because I only hadled several, but didn’t purchase one?
I will say that I will not solicit my opinion on something that I haven’t used or handled. This is a public board and I just give my opinion based on my NV experience.
I think it’s pretty obvious that I look into almost every NV related product out there.

Two major reasons to go with the pouch that Crye designed specifically for the Night Cap are:

1) it sits much lower than using another pouch just attached to the velcro in the back. IMO, this produces a Much better balance and feel and,

2) you are still able to crumple it up and stuff it in a pouch/cargo pocket/pack as opposed to the Mohawk which adds additional rigidity and structure.

I feel that the Mohawk is better suited to a more rigid host. I.E, a helmet.

It is really only as big as you fill it. It is, IMO, THE Night Cap solution. Before it was offered, I tried quite a few different counterweight options but this was obviously tailor made for this platform, it's needs and intended uses.

The Crye pouch may be the school solution here, on an unmodified night cap.  I modified mine somewhat, which included adding two web and Velcro straps to the back, which creates a nice "molle" base for a pouch (not to mention really snugs the cap up on your head).

What I think would be the ideal solution here is to add in a pouch, which would ride lower, about mid-way on the back edge of the cap.  More in line with where a C/W pouch would be a on a hard shell.  This would give the pouch max leverage for counter weight purposes.  If it's too far up on your head, you're not getting the full effect of the C/W.

Of course this would depend on the shape of your head; speaking for myself, getting it back and down, away from the crown of your head, just makes more sense to me.

As far as mounting, any kind of combination of webbing and Velcro might do the trick; the Mohawk actually makes a lot of sense, since you have the, uh, shaft to Velcro up on the top, which would allow you to run the pouch "low-ride", past the bottom of the cap.  But if that's too much, then any good admin pouch would work, depending on how it attaches.  Or can be easily modified to attach.

WhiteHotBrownDown is right here. The pouch is as big as you want to make it. There is Velcro on the inside to help secure whatever you want. When empty it’s basically just two layers of thin material. It could expand to be pretty big if you want.
It’s difficult to get good pics but so did my best.

That is exactly how the Crye CW pouch sits.

Right on I was noticing that from the photos.  Diseased minds think alike.
