Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best pouches for carrying night vision devices?

Spiritus Systems offers specialized pouches like the Small GP and Medium GP, often paired with their custom foam inserts. These are designed for better fit and protection compared to standard bulky cases, allowing for secure carry on plate carriers or cummerbunds.

Can PVS-15 night vision goggles fit in a Spiritus Systems Small GP pouch?

Yes, PVS-15 goggles fit well in the Spiritus Systems Small GP pouch when both tubes are collapsed. However, there will not be enough space to also carry an NVG mount alongside them in this pouch.

Which Spiritus Systems pouch is best for PVS-14 monoculars?

The Spiritus Systems Small GP pouch is an excellent choice for PVS-14 monoculars. It fits the device securely and even provides enough extra space to carry the NVG mount along with the monocular.

Are Sentinel NVG housings compatible with Spiritus Systems GP pouches?

Sentinel housings with ANVIS ball detent mounts are generally too tall for the Spiritus Systems Small GP pouch. They fit very tightly, deforming the pouch, in the Medium GP pouch and are not ideal for either.

How can I prevent losing my night vision if it falls out of my pouch?

Many tactical pouches, including Spiritus Systems models, feature tie-down loops. You can use a clip or lanyard to secure your night vision device to the pouch, ensuring it remains attached to your gear even if it accidentally dislodges.
