FMA Base Jump Lanyard

NVG Retention Lanyard for Ops Core Base Jump Helmet

 

We started with the premise that the OPS Core Base Jump Helmet is one of the best available platforms for form, fit and function.  However, due to the molded-in shroud, an operator cannot use a retention lanyard device to catch their ultra-expensive NVG’s, in the event the mount disengages from the helmet.

Unfortunately we have seen some DIY projects that advocate drilling holes and installing bolts through the helmet itself.  Not only are these practices not approved by the manufacturer, voiding any warranty, they produce a danger to the wearer.  In a ballistic helmet, these holes violate the structural integrity of the helmet and aid in the degradation of the ballistic fibers inside.  In non-ballistic helmets, structural integrity can also be compromised and, placing a metal bolt where it might contact the head in a hard blow, well…you get the picture.  

Due to the Ops Core Base Jump Helmet’s extreme popularity among professional and commercial users, we recognized a need for a simple, efficient, and cost-effective lanyard.  The design also had to be intuitive and require no modification to the helmet.  Base Jump Lanyard utilizes an off-the shelf Wilcox Retractable Lanyard  threaded over a milspec webbing/ hook & loop strap.  The strap ends are fed through the existing forward vent holes of the Base Jump Helmet and secured by the hook patches on the inside of the helme
