Helmet-mounted night vision keeps both hands free while you move through the dark — essential for tactical use, search tasks and hunting on foot. A head- or helmet-mounted goggle flips up and down on a mount, letting you transition between night vision and the naked eye in a second.
U.S. sales only. High-performance (Gen 3) night vision is export-controlled under ITAR and offered for sale and use within the United States to eligible U.S. persons.

What to look for
Mount and helmet compatibility
Confirm the goggle works with your helmet shroud and mount (dovetail or bayonet), and that the arm offers tilt, vertical and fore-aft adjustment for correct eye relief.
Single vs dual tube
Dual-tube systems add depth perception for safer movement; single-tube units are lighter and preserve one night-adapted eye. See generations explained.
Weight and battery
Balance and runtime matter for extended wear. Check battery type and whether the mount includes an auto-off switch to save power.

Frequently asked questions
What do I need to mount night vision to a helmet?
You need a helmet shroud, a compatible mount (such as a dovetail or bayonet mount) and a goggle with a mounting interface. The mount arm should adjust for tilt, height and eye relief.
Are dual-tube goggles worth it over a single PVS-14?
Dual-tube goggles add depth perception for safer movement and better close-quarters awareness, which many users prefer for tactical use. A single PVS-14 is lighter, cheaper and keeps one eye night-adapted.
Can helmet-mounted night vision be used for hunting?
Yes. Hands-free helmet-mounted night vision is useful for moving to and from stands and for still-hunting on foot where allowed. Always confirm local hunting regulations.
