Night Vision New to current NV, first purchase

[Helidriver]

Well I just got what I think is a pretty good deal on a new Night Optics PVS-7 gen 3. The dealer is a friend of mine and he needed to liquidate some inventory due to a divorce. Got his last one for 2K out the door. It came with the goofy headgear but I think I'm going to get a helmet for it. Is the Ops-Core Base Jump pretty decent? I picked up a used Rhino mount that should work with it. I don't need anything really fancy or have ballistic protection since they are just a toy. They will however go on some black ops with the paintball gun around the camp site from time to time. I just want to make using the goggles easier and more comfortable.

I have an ops core and a team wendy ... and I'd say the team wendy is a tiny bit better as it came with two usable rails out of the box. Still waiting on back order to get second usable rail for ops core. Check prices on ebay.

I think the Ops Core will work great for your intended use. Have fun with it!

I'll give you a killer deal on a team Wendy helmet, and your brain will thank you!

not alot of helmets work with paintball mask, plus makes the mask fog. also if you play paintball with it get a sacrificial window and tape a towel around it.

I don't know anything about this brand. But then again I don't know much about any brand of helmet. What kind of deal are we talking?

 

[Helidriver]

Last question. What are the bungees for on these helmets? I noticed the team Wendy and Ops-Core both have them.

I use them for two things:
01 - Backup holding the 14s, in case they come loose, so they don't go rolling in the grass.
02 - Holding 2 mag counterweight pouch.
I'm sure there are other uses.
