Wilcox Industries G24 Mount

Wilcox Industries G24 Mount

The Wilcox Industries G24 Mount is an innovative breakaway night vision mount designed to enhance user safety and functionality. It has undergone rigorous field testing by operators, who have provided valuable feedback that has informed its development. Featuring a unique “breakaway” mechanism, this mount detaches from its base under stress, thereby minimizing the risk of neck injuries for the user.

The Wilcox Industries G24 Mount is an essential choice for night vision equipment. Wilcox Industries is renowned for its development of advanced and user-focused night vision helmet mount systems. Initial reactions often involve hesitation regarding the cost. While the price may seem high, it is important to recognize that quality comes at a premium. The helmet mounts produced by Wilcox are, in essence, masterpieces of engineering.

They are meticulously designed with direct feedback from U.S. Warfighters operating in the most demanding environments. Each design undergoes extensive refinement until it achieves optimal performance, followed by expert craftsmanship in Wilcox’s cutting-edge manufacturing facility. The Wilcox Industries G24 Mount is engineered to work with a variety of bracket-style NVG shrouds. It stands out as one of the most versatile mounts in the Wilcox range, as it does not necessitate a proprietary shroud.

Nevertheless, it incorporates the highly valued breakaway feature found in other Wilcox models. This feature enables the operator to secure the mount with the shroud or to allow it to detach under stress, thereby minimizing the risk of injury. Situations that may lead to entanglement, such as rappelling, fast roping, or high-speed maneuvers where the NVG may collide with objects, are significant contributors to neck and head injuries among soldiers.

The Wilcox Industries G24 Mount’s ability to disengage from the shroud in these scenarios safeguards both the user and the NVG from serious harm or damage. The Wilcox Industries G24 Mount also includes the same adjustability options as the other models in the Wilcox lineup. If one finds it difficult to position their NVGs correctly using the Wilcox mount, it may indicate an issue unrelated to the equipment.

Another notable advantage of the Wilcox Industries G24 Mount is its design, which extends the NVG forward rather than positioning it directly above the head, as is common with standard mounts. This configuration minimizes the user’s profile and facilitates better height assessment when entering or exiting vehicles and navigating through windows and doorways.

It is important to understand that the Wilcox Industries G24 Mount employs a unique dovetail interface, rendering it incompatible with USGI bayonet plugs. Wilcox produces an Interface Shoe Adapter compatible with nearly all night vision goggle (NVG) systems currently in use. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that you acquire the appropriate adapter when purchasing a Wilcox Industries G24 Mount.

Despite the advantages offered, inquiries regarding pricing persist. Our consistent response is: why would one choose to attach their valuable NVGs to the least expensive mount available? Wilcox has established and continues to uphold the standard against which all other mounts are evaluated.
