Hello,
Am I missing something, or is the helmet $420 US dollars. Also anyone have a discount code for this company.
I'm going to swap the Wilcox shroud on my Nitecap with the one on the PGD since I'll probably just run a single PVS 14 vs my 14/breach set up. I've got coyote velcro from Amazon.... but I know what you mean. The older models show a TW shroud.Wish it came with more Velcro and a Metal shroud. Plastic shroud locks up solid, so not a major complaint, and Velcro is cheap, but small things like that keep it from going from a home run to a grand slam.
I kinda want one of these even though I have no NV, just to have the added protection.
I’ve been walking around the house throughout the day with the PGD on my head. My wife is about to have an Intervention.
The helmet is the cheap part.
The Sordins or Ops Core ear pro I want to go with it gets spendy.

Just wanted to provide some information I found. As WALLYBOB posted they changed the front shroud in the new models, however Varusteleka is listing that the 2020 models have a few other updates as well (in addition to the new shroud).
I'm not sure if Horta has the 2019 or 2020 model, apparently the new one dropped a bit of weight which is mainly what I'm concerned with.
2020 MODELS
- Weight c. 1,400 g / 3 lbs. (Large) with the padding, rails, and the NVG mount
- The shape and layout of the detachable padding has changed. The helmet also comes with additional pads so you can customize it to your liking.
- Chin strap design and materials have been updated. It now comes with the original BOA dial as well as the ITW Nexus and Duraflex hardware
- Design of the NVG mount on the front has changed a bit but it doesn’t affect the usability
- Design of the accessory rails has changed a bit but it doesn’t affect usability
- The shape of the helmet has also changed slightly
- Helmets are now manufactured in Europe

One of the reviews says the arc rails aren't true arc rails and required an adapter to use the peltor arc adapter. Could you confirm if you have any various arc accessories that they work correctly? Thanks for all the info you're providing.I have the 2020 model, which is why my order was delayed for 4 months because they were in the middle of the production change.
Mine is the XL, which probably accounts for the extra 6-ounces.

Helmet is comfortable and adjustment works well. The pads are supportive and soft at the same time. Construction is solid as expected for a bucket made of Kevlar. Note for the 2020 helmet, it is NOT compatible with the OEM Peltor ARC adapters. I can't confirm if they work with other ARC rail accessories or not. They look like ARC rails but they are not. So if you have a headset you want to use with it then you will have to set the headband inside the helmet. The good news is this works fine. It's a little annoying to put the helmet on now but the ears fit snug and do their job. Knocking one star off due to the rail compatibility. Otherwise its pretty great.
EDIT: After speaking with the manufacturer it turns out that they have adapters for the Peltor ARC adapters. Adapters for adapters heh. Apparently the helmet was supposed to come with them but mine didn't for some reason. They are shipping me a replacement set which should be here any day now. I will edit this review again once I have them.
EDIT2: The adapters have arrived. They replace the backs of the Peltor arms. Install just requires a phillips head screwdriver. I had them on in minutes.
Yeah that jives with what the other reviewer said as well, but he said PGD is supposed to be shipping these with an adapter to fix the issue, but it wasn't included with his helmet. Did yours not come with them either?
Would you be able to see if other arc rail devices fit? It's really unfortunate they made some kind of knockoff arc rail.
Welp... it’s official. It never occurred to me to check the bag of accessories and look for something that might help. I just assumed the guys at PGD dropped the ball.
As it turns out, I **did** get the adapters. If I’m honest, I like how flush to the helmet the adapters make the Peltor adapter sit. See photos below. Simple solution that works VERY well and is much quicker than ravaging a perfectly good set of Peltor mounts.
I’m a moron!

Dude get a proper fitting screw driver to avoid all the marring.
This mans wet dream of night vision and head gear yet he uses the fucked up Phillips head from the kitchen drawer......tsk, tsk, tsk.
That's what I was thinking as well, may have to bend the wires if attaching that adapter messed up the geometry of how it presses the ears firm against your head.Hopefully the ears are still as tight against your noggin with the removal of the stock adapter wedge thing. Pretty sure it gave it a bit of inward cant in its factory config.

Horta, sorry to sound like a broken record, but do you have any other arc rail accessories you could test fit? It sounds like only the top ridge is that is blocking that specific arc rail accessory, is the channel the same width/depth you think?
That peltor adapter thing looks like it grooves into the channel so it makes me think the entire "arc" rail is not compatible with any actual arc accessory.
This would be the thing to check for sure. Tons of accessories only use the internal track and the little index pockets to key into, so it might not be a huge deal at all.It sounds like only the top ridge is that is blocking that specific arc rail accessory, is the channel the same width/depth you think?

But, that's what she said.As the FNG, I'm just trying to get a feel for how you guys roll.
By my count there's more than 20 "that's what she said"......
......the helmet......worth it
Well I sent them another email asking about the rails. I actually ended up buying one of these, but if it turns out the rails are only arc in appearance I think I might cancel the order.
It does seem like a good helmet but the plastic shroud, weight, and now the rails may be a bit too much.
It depends how the accessories are constructed.
Forexample Peltor 3m is specific made for the ops-core ARC rail.
Normally we also add a picatinny rail adapter, so lights can be added.
