"Galvion delivers excellent quality at an affordable price point. Affordable enough for our small city to outfit our entire SRT team and each patrol car, and reliable enough that I trust outfitting our officers in them on the most dangerous calls."

Lt Jake DeMonte - Tiffin Police Department, OH

"Two of my soldiers have been using this equipment from the last 45 days. Both soldiers are Gunners exposed from our turrets during missions and training. They liked how easy it was to use the universal mounting system to attach and detach items."

"The Batlskin Viper Front Mount and Interlocking Long Rails are solid. Neither need much adjustment and are easy to place on the helmet. They work well with the Viper Premium Helmet Cover as well."

Deputy C.H., ORANGE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE

"I spent a lot of time in the capital ACH with the standard issue setup and competitive retention systems like Team Wendy. I have conducted HelloCasts, ruck marches, Sapper School officer basic and a variety of other training while wearing my ACH. The MSS is by far the most comfortable, easy- to- use system so far that I've worn. It's highly customizable to different soldiers. I had at least 10 people that wear medium to large capital ACH try it on and all of them found it to be comfortable."
