T.REX SBL NVG Lanyard

Overview Lanyard systems for night vision devices are very important. After all, they hold the NODs to you. There are several excellent ones on the market, but many of them are pricey, and it isn’t always intuitive to hook them up to your night vision device once it’s mounted to the helmet. So we took our original SBL design from a few years ago and made a few tweaks to level it up above the rest. Specifically, we took our 4 Cell T.REX Battery / Chemlight Holder, which attaches via hook and loop, and added two retention bungee cords to each end. On each retention cord is a mini carabiner clip that can snap directly into the holes of GPNVG, PVS-31, DTNVS, and PVS-14 night vision housings. This makes attaching/detaching the NVG unit from the SBL almost as easy as removing the SBL from the helmet, which is important because it’s generally not a great idea to leave NVGs attached to a helmet in storage. If you have a night vision unit that doesn’t have retention holes or the holes are too small, like in DTNVGs, you can loop thin zip ties (included) through those holes and attach the mini carabiner to them. The old, traditional method of simply wrapping the lanyard around the unit and tying it off in a knot of sorts is still effective. The SBL also works great for holding down a battery pack or counterweight while still providing some storage for CR123, AA, and other small batteries and items.
