Night Vision Goggle – A New Toy For Big Boys

Boys and men alike want to have a night vision goggle. This can be used as a toy or military equipment. For some boys, they might remember the time when they’re playing in the dark while acting as soldiers and scaring their family by hiding in the dark.

The military use this during night missions and for other security reasons. A night vision goggle can actually be used by anyone, because it has a lot of uses like for stargazing, cave exploring, and other activities in the dark.

With a lot of choices in the market, it can be hard to choose one that will go well with your style and needs. Night Vision Goggle models below come from different brands which are the most popular in the US. Of course, all of them allow you to see well in the dark, but the additional features are worth knowing.

• Yukon Viking 1×24 mm Night Vision Goggles with Head Gear Kit – This water-resistant model has an infrared illuminator of up to 150 meters, but you can see well even if you are 200 meters away. Just like all Yukon models, it also has an Eclipse lens cap system that can be removed, rotated, and flipped any way you want. It doesn’t hurt your eyes the way other models do, that’s why it is well-rated by experts.

• EyeClops Night Vision Infrared Stealth Goggles – This is a great model for kids above 8 years old. It’s a cheap toy that’s around $80. Although I have to say, you don’t want to run with this on your head. This is a big stealth goggle compared to others and you might trip if you’re not careful. For the price tag, it’s quite great because you can finally get a real night vision goggle without paying much for it. Naturally, a very affordable item has its cons too. There’s a loss of depth perception and image is focused on the right eye. This can cause disorientation to users.

• ATN NVG7-2 Night Vision Goggles – This is a single tube system, but it doesn’t minimize its use with just giving you a good-quality vision at night. The model uses a Generation 2 with CTG image intensifier tube. Not only is it convenient – weighing a little more than a pound, but it also has a long battery life that lasts up to 60 hours. Its multi-colored glass optics and strong lenses will surely give you the vision you need.

• Bushnell 2.5×42 Night Vision Monocular – if you’re looking for a cheap model, this would be worth the money. It has its pros and cons, of course, since you are not paying that much. For a Generation 1 unit, it has pretty good quality. It has a water-resistant covering so you can use it even on the rain. The infrared illuminator focuses well so you can see clearly; however, it is so bright. It’s advisable to put a black electrical tape over so as not to hurt your eyes. Another thing, if you don’t want to be seen in the dark, I honestly recommend that you choose another model.
