Revision took a look at the state of affairs with goggle strap technology and decided that something had to be done. Soldiers know that the NOD mount always gets in the way when they lift them on to their helmets. The PDQ Goggle Retention System snaps onto a set of Revision Desert Locust goggles, replacing the stock strap with a short set of hook & loop extensions that mate to a helmet mounted halo that provides a secure mounting point that is isolated from the head. The halo consists of an elastic strap with gripper strips on the back and a rubber O-ring that mates with the NOD mount.

The kits are available now for $39 retail, $24 unit buy in black, tan, foliage and coyote.
