3.0 out of 5 stars Impressive but uncomfortable, September 20, 2000
By A Customer
At 2 lbs in weight and mounted on the front of your face, you have to strap the goggles on pretty tight so that they don't hang down. This makes them uncomfortable to wear for any length of time. It would be preferable if they were mounted on a rigid head piece like a bike helmet with a counter weight at the back for balance.

As for night vision capability, they are very impressive and very sensitive, but beware of using them anywhere there are artifical lights, you might end up causing permanent damage to them. Definitely best used in complete darkness.

4.0 out of 5 stars A bit older model, not latest generation, but still ok., December 17, 2004
This is an older, Russian-Made version of the US Military version. It is higher quality first generation night vision, but lacks the clarity of the new 2nd and 3rd generation units, but for it's price, is NOT a bad deal at all. For 3rd generation, be prepared to fork out 10 times this price.
I also suggest placing a piece of black electrical tape or something similar over the ir source since it is red and can be seen for some distance, and get the ramsey kit IR-1 which can be found here on Amazon. It requires a small 12 volt source, but be creative, I use one of those fanypack 12 volt kits that will power the IR-1 for a long time, and used 2-way adhesive squares to attach it to the IR Goggles frame. It is like having a huge invisible (to the naked eye), spotlight, and increases the range and visibility over 100 times than the internal visible light source.

Hope this helps.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad, May 20, 2005
Not bad, you can use it as hunting gadget, or if you are on a searching crew this will come in handy. Slip it into your eyes and your sight will increase greatly. Not bad for the price although it could be better. If you are an expert in hunting, or your out looking for something this is not the best option, but one of the bests. If you just like to go around able to see on dark this is more than enough. Hope you found this helpfull.
