Šestan-Busch Counterweight Pouch

Šestan-Busch Counterweight Pouch is a helmet-balance solution built to restore stability and reduce neck strain when running heavy front-mounted gear such as NVGs, ballistic visors, or other night/mission devices. Front attachments shift the helmet’s center of gravity forward, forcing constant neck tension. The SB pouch adds controlled rear weight to bring the balance back, improving comfort and endurance during long operations.

The pouch mounts securely using a large Hook & Loop panel that locks to the helmet’s rear Velcro field or a compatible helmet cover. Because the contact area is wide, the pouch stays stable under movement. Elastic retention cords add another layer of security by allowing you to tension the pouch against the helmet or other gear, minimizing bounce in dynamic activity or vehicle work.

Adaptability is the core advantage. Removable weight elements let you tune the system for your exact setup. The pouch accepts either battery-shaped weights or flat counterweight plates in 50 g, 100 g, or 150 g increments. Whether you’re running a lightweight monocular NVG or a heavier binocular system, you can dial in the right counterbalance in minutes.

Designed for field use, the SB counterweight pouch is easy to assemble, remove, clean, and maintain without tools. If your mission profile changes, the balance can be reconfigured quickly and reliably. Its low-profile shape integrates cleanly with helmet harness systems and rear accessories, keeping the setup streamlined and snag-resistant.
