The unmistakable and highly demanded Universal Shroud is compatible with nearly all helmets with 1 or 3 holes, or helmets with no holes when used with the optional strap assembly. These helmet types include, but are not limited to, MICH, ACH, CVC, PASGT as well as non-ballistic helmets such as PRO-TEC. The Norotos Universal Shroud is not just another plastic or aluminum molded NVG holding device – in contrast, the Universal Shroud exhibits the ultimate in anti-wobble design, durability and product reliability.
The Universal Shroud helps to reduce any undesired goggle-to-helmet wobble. Our advanced stability management system starts on the back side of the Universal Shroud where a gasket affixed to the unique curvature of the shroud creates a harmonious, self-stabilizing compression effect. The front side of the shroud has four high-endurance shock absorbers that further enhance the stability of the helmet mount and goggles. Using the Universal Shroud with any Norotos mount will result in optimum stability and longevity.
The specially designed tether plug allows user to keep the helmet mount and goggles together by attaching the desired length of 550 cord from the shroud to the goggles. The tether plug is designed to prevent damage to goggles upon accidental drop or disengagement from the helmet mount, yet automatically releases when snagged or subjected to the user’s deliberate release.
The Universal Shroud meets and/or exceeds military specification requirements for night vision support hardware and exhibits exceedingly high strength and endurance resulting in the most sophisticated, tolerance-controlled shroud in today’s marketplace. When interfaced with the Norotos AKA2 or INVG Helmet Mount, the system optimizes anti-wobble providing extended system longevity while aiding the user by eliminating NVG wobble fatigue. The precision-machined interface is machined from high-strength, corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum alloy specifically designed to be mold integrated within the high-strength nonmetallic shell which optimizes impact resistance even when subjected to severe, direct-impact strikes. All hardware (slides, fasteners, springs and other metallic hardware) has been selected and tested to meet the harshest environmental conditions. The precision machining of the interface incorporated with shock absorber pads assures a continuous anti-wobble fit even as *natural or accelerated environmental wear occurs.
* Proper maintenance is necessary to avoid wear caused by salt water crystallization as well as sand or dirt build-up.
Note: Drilling your own holes in helmet may affect the ballistic integrity.

SHROUD “KNOCK-OFF” ALERT:
Norotos’ Low Profile Shrouds (1-hole, 3-hole and Universal) were engineered for precision performance interface with Norotos helmet mounts. Installing Norotos helmet mounts on shroud “knock-offs” will negatively impact the superior performance anticipated with Norotos mounts including the significant reduction of "wobble." Additionally, knock-off versions are normally limited to 3-hole mounting whereas the Norotos Universal Shroud easily attaches to helmets with 1 or 3 holes as well as helmets with no holes (with optional strap assembly).
