SHOT SHOW 19: Fresh gear from Agilite

What is looking so well armored at us is a fully equipped MTEK helmet with mandible from Agilite from Israel. It is not only important that the head is protected inside, but also what is attached on the outside.

Agilite specializes in things like this: the bridge attaches to the helmet and holds everything that needs to be fixed to the helmet (except night vision devices).

Because a picture says more than 1,000 words...

For all the numerous helmet accessories on the market today (battery packs, counterweights, IR strobes, cameras, cables, etc.) and for the many different tactical helmet types, Agilite wanted to create a high-quality universal solution for attachment. It should fit on any modern helmet and be more stable than normal helmet Velcro areas. They have achieved this with the Bridge-Tactical Helmet Accessory Platform.

The "Bridge" fits almost any tactical helmet - here an Ops-Core - and is compatible with almost any accessory. It can be attached within seconds to the inner and outer Velcro systems of modern helmets, creating a stable platform that prevents loss or damage to the respective equipment parts.

One of the unique features of the "Bridge" is its universal rear pod, which is flexible both vertically and horizontally to perfectly accommodate all common NVG battery packs. This includes the models GPNVG-18, AN/PVS-31, AN/PVS-23, F5050, AVS-6, and ANVIS9. The pod has strategically placed exit holes for all cable outputs and network switches. It also has a polymer protection on the back and a place to store PTT cables when not in use.

And if the Bridge doesn't, Agilite produces helmet covers for almost all common helmets - here again Ops-Core. The Hel-Star 6 from Core Survival is also ideally secured here.

Here we have discovered something very special at the Agilite booth: the new US Air Force helmet from 3M, which we will encounter again elsewhere.

Agilite has already made the helmet cover for this new 3M innovation.

On the new 3M helmet for helicopter crews, one can also see a very exciting new rail solution, which is also designed to mount mandible and visor for ideal facial protection.

And here again the MTEK, now looking at the helmet cover from Agilite.

Agilite has also further developed their plate carrier: this is the K19. The first thing that catches our eye: it has ROC closures for quick on and off.
