Expected quality for the price - ATN PS31-3 1x27mm Night Vision Goggles

I have about 10 hours on these so far and I love them. Obviously they aren’t L3’s but for half the price, I would definitely recommend these. Having a 51 degree field of view is awesome especially when comparing these to something like pvs14s. These also have tie down loops which work great with the retention bungees on fast helmet type designes. The housing on these seem pretty sturdy which is nice. The majority of the housing is some kind of metal but for some reason ATN decided to make the connection to the bridge polymer, which is kind of upsetting since now that is a weak point of the unit. The tubes on these have very little eye relief, so if you go off axis while looking through them, the image will distort really quick. As long as you have them within 6 inches from your eyes and relatively centered to your eyes, you will be fine. I have no complaints about the image quality though. These do come with a knock off Wilcox g24 mount (which is a little upsetting) that can be found on Amazon for about 100 bucks. The mount’s screws constantly loosen up so throw some lock tight on them and it’ll be fine. All in all, you get what you pay for. If you’re looking for a pvs-31 style of night vision while on a budget, I would highly recommend these ATN ps31s. With that being said, DO NOT buy anything less than the gen 3s. Gen 2 green and gen 2 WPT image quality look like complete dookie. Gen 2 technology is about 45 years old so keep that in mind.
