In the new Vent Mode position, the earcups shift slightly off the ears to improve airflow and relieve seal pressure while still allowing effective monitoring of communications. Importantly, Ops-Core Near Field Magnetic Induction (NFMI) Earplugs remain fully engaged in Vent Mode, providing increased noise reduction while preserving clear communications and 3D Hear-Through when used with NFMI-enabled Ops-Core headsets.

“Our customers operate in the world’s most demanding environments, and their feedback is crucial for innovation,” said Peter Harbeck, Segment Director - SOF at Gentex Corporation. “The AMP Helmet Rail Mount Kit with Vent Mode is a direct result of listening to operators who needed a better way to manage heat and comfort without losing communications. We’ve kept the same rock-solid durability and adjustability of the original design while adding an essential enhancement.”

The new rail mount maintains the same familiar form factor, world-class durability and rugged performance as the original AMP Rail Mount. It is designed to offer increased stability during dynamic movements and remains fully compatible with Ops-Core NFMI Earplugs for double hearing protection. The AMP Rail Mount with Vent Mode is available in three colors: tan 499, black, and ranger green.
