Cold Harbour Cadex Helmet Integrated Plate (CHIP)
Cold Harbour Cadex Helmet Integrated Plate (CHIP)
Developed for the special operations community to reduce headborne weight and helmet profile, the Cold Harbour Cadex Helmet Integrated Plate (CHIP) is a retrofit to the Cadex NVG mount that yields more than a 25% reduction in weight from currently fielded NVG mounting solutions. The CHIP bypasses the standard NVG shroud and mount interface to attach directly to any helmet drilled in the standard 3-hole MARSOC/WARCOM hole pattern.
The CHIP retains all of the industry-leading features of the Cadex NVG mount and is the one of the most rugged, lowest weight, and lowest-profile helmet mount solutions.
Main Features:
- 26-40% reduction in overall weight (48g-70g reduced compared to standard NVG shroud + mount)
- CHIP-enhanced Cadex mount weight - 162g
- Entire assembly sits closer to the helmet and user's face, increasing FOV through the night vision goggle
- Unique multi-curve plate geometry allows all hardware to fit perfectly perpendicular to each mating surface providing the highest amount of stability
- Reduced helmet profile when NVGs are not in use
- Eliminates wobble between NVG mount and shroud
- Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and Cerakoted by Blackbox Customs in your choice of Graphite Black or Burnt Bronze
- Enhances vertical adjustability of legacy Cadex mount with 9 different vertical mounting positions to suit any helmet, head shape, and NVG configuration
- Comes with complete set of black oxide steel hardware (3 lengths of bolts) to fit both bump and ballistic helmets
- 100% Designed and Made in Canada
Installation:
- Remove the two factory screws holding the NVG mount plate to the Cadex mount with Philips #2 screwdriver. These screws will not be re-used.
- Attach CHIP to Cadex mount with two 6-32 bolts (included)
- Remove NVG shroud from host helmet
- Attach CHIP-enhanced Cadex NVG mount to helmet with included hardware
Note: The CHIP is not compatible with helmets that have a molded-shroud (eg: Ops-Core Fast legacy Bump or Team Wendy LTP Bump helmets)
For those needing the breakaway feature of the Cadex mount, the CHIP will remove this feature, as a result of the low-profile mount.
