Yes thats a good idea. There are also some paintball masks that have fans built in.  May be some good inspiration

My “grab-n-go” lightweight/budget ANVIS setup.

Crye nightcap with a ground mount adapter and an Amazon knockoff Mohawk. I zip tied a streamlight sidewinder for IR illuminator, it worked better than expected. Definitely one of my favorite rigs and my amps slip right over the top no problem. Attachment Attached File

I really need to try my nightcap with a counterweight.  After using it with a pvs14 without, I stole the shroud and stuffed it in my NV parts bin. It looks like it could be handy with my anvis and batterypack/counterweight

I don’t know if serious or not- I have two of the real TNVC Mohawks on my helmets that are for more serious use. This fake one I got for free. Hell, I bought my Mohawks and my ABNV Storm Mount and I don’t even know how many goggle housings from you, so you of all people should know I don’t skimp on my gear. This was a little fun project I threw together one night out of basically spare parts and I had a buddy who had one of these lying around and he donated it. Never intended for serious use, but actually turned out well enough that it’s become one of my go-to rigs.

I like that battery pouch.  Ordered one in multi.  Been looking for something similar and was hoping TNVC would've put the mohawk on Black Friday sales, but I didn't really need the mohawk part.  Thanks

The point. You missed it.

The Mohawk is an innovative product designed, produced, and offered at a completely reasonable price by one of our foremost site sponsors and likely greatest advocate. The Amazon version is a blatant photocopy that offers no additional functionality or intellectual property.

Nope, same point. The MH25 is basically a ripoff of US technology, offered at a fraction of the price, the proceeds of which are funneled into an oppressive system of government that's hell-bent on destroying our way of life.

Again, I got the fake one for free, and I have tens of thousands worth of various items with a TNVC sticker or tag on them, so I think people can chill about a battery pack holder that was given to me to slap on a glove-box compatible NV lid setup.

ETA: Matter of fact, in those two pics of the TW hemets, both goggles are TNVC, the Mohawks are obviously TNVC, and the mounts are from TNVC. So like $20k from TNVC on my kitchen table.

Fair enough.  I have beat the shit out of my Mohawk, and its hook/loop are as good today as they were when brand new.  One of the benefits of buying the real deal should be real support if the product is defective.  Heaven knows Amazon would provide at least that much ;)

"Glovebox compatible NV lid setup" is a new one.  I like that.

I haven't beaten on my Mohawks too hard, I will say that the type of loop material is consistent with what I've seen issued in SOF on various Patagonia and Crye products. It just kinda falls apart, not the stitching but the loop material itself. I just clean it up with a cigarette lighter and go on my merry way, it hasn't bothered me enough to care- just an observation.

And yes, it is pretty slick to have a bino-compatible lid that you can fit in a center console or a cargo pocket. In actual practice, I just throw it on to take out the trash on Sunday nights

Their lead time said 8-10 weeks when I ordered. I completely understand lead times throughout the industry are longer than usual right now. It’s not the lead time I’m upset about, it’s the lead time PLUS the refusal to answer any emails and just keep me in the loop. I’m about a week from just doing a charge back and canceling the order.

So what is the consensus on the Peltor ComTac VI vs the Amps? Can get them both around the same price, and with the ComTac VI they have the NIB communication so I don't have to run radios all the time. Trying to plan on what I want to mount to my helmet.

The comtac vi looks like a good contender. The NIB is cool but will it acutely work as advertised is what I want to know. What pushed it over the edge for me to go AMP is the NFMI plugs and easy integration to opscore helmets.

Vic, I’m not sure if you’ve done much research on political donations, but the information is readily available online. Many of the manufactures for products you sell have donated significantly more to any left wing political campaign than Team Wendy. And in all cases, it’s not a contribution from the corporations themselves generally, but contributions from employees. Notably, Surefire, Gentex, and Wilcox, to name just a few. And besides any of that, they’re good products so I really don’t care. I don’t have time to vet every single product I buy to verify if there are political favors mixed in at the super high levels of the organization- if I did that, I literally wouldn’t own anything

This Team Hillary internet BS is about as factual as unfilmed tubes dying after 500 hours.

ETA: Corporate PACs are another story altogether.

L3H donated over $200k to Democrats in 2020. So there’s that. L3H image tubes are TNVC’s bread and butter.

BAE systems donated even more, $353k this year alone. Many of the thermal products you sell use BAE cores.

So, while TW might not get a million dollars, much larger defense contractors that contribute significantly to political spending, do take in untold millions from you. Are we supposed to interpret that as TNVC and vic being a giant shill for the Democrats?

C’mon man!

What you miss is this.  Not one of these companies you mention had Hillary on their factory floor shaking hands with the CEO of TW and that CEO telling the world Hillary would be the best President the US would ever have.  On top of that (and when I got the phone call 4000 miles away in the middle of nowhere), I got briefed on the CEO's comments (which I would have let him have a fee pass on that) but when Hillary promoted yet another AWB from his factory floor, that's when it all stopped along with TW hiding and deleting their initial social media posts.  The extra bonus we received was when the CEO of TW helmet division wrote us an despicable email to my Director (a supposed "friend") of this and that after we expressed our extreme disappointment on their actions that we were somehow the guilty party.  

I told that CEO and I will tell you straight up, someone has to answer to the families of Benghazi so you and a few are probably very happy Susan Rice is back in town. If you or anyone else does not like it, I can care less.

I'm not going to argue with you, you're entitled to your own opinion. Donating zero dollars and making political statements pales significantly in comparison to being utterly silent and donating hundreds of thousands to political campaigns year after year after year. "something something- money where your mouth is?"

You're not making a very strong argument Victor. You're ranting. And on top of that, I don't appreciate being construed as somehow excited for the return of Susan Rice. You're taking unprovoked personal potshots, while pushing products made by companies that support democrats.
