NVG Helmet colours
I have been asked several times about the preferred helmet colour for NVG operations, but I really dont have a clue...can anyone help?
Having a military NVG background, colour was not a choice. But in the civ world, there are those who say only matt colours like grey and olive are acceptable, and others who say it really doesn't matter. Some say you need to get rid of all the reflective tape, and others say it makes no difference.
On the face of it, if you have compatible lighting, does it really matter if the helmet is refective because it is reflecting compatible light? Or, does it hinder NVG ops when you are using non compatible external lights like landing, winch, and position lights?
Anyone have experience with this?
