Balance a front heavy helmet

The Emerson Gear Helmet Counterweight Pouch mounts to the rear of a fast style helmet and holds ballast to offset the weight of front mounted night vision, cameras or lights. By evening out the load it takes the strain off your neck, keeping your helmet comfortable and stable through long games and patrols.

Tough, practical build

Made from hard wearing Cordura 500D, the pouch resists abrasion and rough handling in the field. It closes securely with velcro and carries an external loop panel on the front for ID patches, morale patches or an IFF marker.

Store as well as balance

This is more than dead weight. The pouch offers multiple load options and will hold up to five CR123A batteries, which act as both counterweight and spare power for your kit. You can also stash small tools or accessories inside, keeping useful items to hand on the back of your head.

Match your loadout

Available in Black, Coyote and Multicam, it blends neatly with most helmet and gear colour schemes. It is an inexpensive, effective upgrade for any NVG or camera setup. Browse more helmet kit in our tactical gear range.

Frequently asked questions

What does a helmet counterweight pouch do?

It mounts to the rear of a fast style helmet and holds ballast to counterbalance front heavy accessories such as night vision goggles or cameras. Balancing the load reduces neck strain and makes the helmet more comfortable over long periods.

Does it come with weights?

The pouch is supplied empty so you can tune the balance yourself. It has room for batteries, small tools or dedicated counterweights, and it will hold up to five CR123A batteries, which double as ballast and spares.

What is it made from?

It is built from Cordura 500D, a strong and abrasion resistant fabric that stands up to hard use. It closes with velcro and features an external loop panel for patches or IFF markers.

Which colours are available?

This pouch is offered in Black, Coyote and Multicam, so you can match it to your existing helmet and loadout. The neutral options blend into most tactical colour schemes.

Will it fit my helmet?

It is designed to mount to the rear rail or shroud area of fast style bump and ballistic helmets, which are the most common airsoft and tactical helmet designs. Check your helmet has a compatible rear mounting point before fitting.
