The ATN Night Storm Gen.1 Night Vision was as described. I bought this to keep in my duty bag and carry with me in my patrol car for close up additional surveillence options. It works great for my purpose. Anyone that is expectiong a Gen 2 or higher should spend the extra money. I ordered this item from Optics Planet and received couteous service with good communication.

This is a piece of junk. Do NOT waste even 1 penny on this! Looking through this is equivalent to looking through a glass of water. Yes, there is light enhancement, but you can't see anything! This would not even qualify as a toy for my 9 year old nephew!!

Used 1st gen NVD's in the Marines, and was pleasantly surprised to find that these are just as good. I could readily identify objects in the woods (with little moon light breaking through) at about 125'. It was a half moon night. The infared illuminator work well and reached out approximately 75'. For the money, I believe this to be a good value.

Although you cannot turn off and on the inferred which uses the battery life. I would still recommend this product to a friend. This is a great gift for the money. These were not for me, but I looked through them and they were very clear. My guy loved them! I received excellent customer service from this company and I also received the goggles before the date scheduled

Okay, sure, the color is a bit odd... But why would you buy a product for its color? I bought it for its functions. Anyway, the point: Works great in the dark like it's suppsoed to, works great period. Highly recommend...

I was a little disapointed in the smallness of the image. However, it does do a good job in viewing objects under a moon lit sky. Probably a good buy for the money.

Pros:  Tuff
Cons:  Yellow case is not rubberized.
Would recommend:  yes

The yellow finish is not a rubberized finish, just cast steel painted yellow. Front lense rotates to focus, pretty crude feel like there is no bearing or lubrication. Lanyard is just a little wrist strap. The lanyard attachment hole is very small, so you can't attach a neck strap or ring. Functionally is works OK. Some small bits of crud/junk are visible in the optics.
