Real Night Vision (within reason)

Bought these with moderately high expectations and fully understanding the limitations of first generation night vision technology I can say I'm satisfied with the performance. They work ALMOST as good as the military grade night vision gear I used in the 1980's. If you do a bit of research you'll see that 2nd generation night vision optics are significantly more expensive. If you're rich go for 3rd gen equip. Lesson here is Gen 1 stuff is affordable but comes up a little short from turning night into daytime.



I recently went camping in the boonies and took these along for the following review:



Performance on starlight alone is not acceptable (at least with my pair) as I could not resolve much of anything without the I.R. illuminator turned on (more on that in a sec) but these binocs do work pretty good when there is a moon overhead. I could see further than I needed to except for anything that might have been in shadows. Shadows keep their secrets well unless the illuminator is turned on. No moon tonight? Flip on the I.R. illuminator and see pretty much everything in the dark quite good up to say 60-70 yards. The I.R. lamp (illuminator) has a sort of "spotlight effect" in that everything in the center is really bright kind of like when you use a flashlight on the wall you will have a really brightly lit spot and then area outside of that spot is somewhat visible but much less so.



Each eye is focused independently of each other and when properly focused is fairly sharp. I did notice that focus is easily knocked out of whack by the lens cover(s) so each time I pulled off the covers to have a look I needed to fine tune them again. I wish they could be locked into place. There is also a macro focus but I did not investigate that. I was more concerned about what there was to see outside of the camps perimeter.



For those who don't know everything has a very green appearance and that's just the way it is. Newer generation night vision may be less green but since it's so expensive I haven't investigated it. And you can use these during the daytime as well providing the front lens caps are in place. They have daytime filters allowing for daytime use but I much prefer my regular (and higher magnification) binoculars for daytime usage. In a pinch though these will do both. Hope this helps some folks out since reviews on these are hard to come by.

Amazing

These sunglasses fit so comfortably that you won't feel like you're wearing sunglasses at all. The lenses provide for crisp clear vision and absolute UV protection. I love these sunglasses and honestly I think they really do take the place of 10 or so cheap pairs of $10 Wal-Mart sunglasses so don't let the price detour you.More detail ...

Excellent Night Scope

This scope is one of the best Gen 1 units on the market. At 36 lines/mm it has just about the best resolution. Most other units only have 24 lines/mm. The illuminator is bright (almost too bright) uniform and has a crisp edge. It could be a bit larger however so that it would fill the field of view.



Note that if you remove the eyepiece or lens (to put on the riflescope eyepiece or change the magnification) you will break the seal and the unit will no longer be waterproof.



Don't bother with the IR flashlight. Its output is actually less than the built-in illuminator and it is far from uniform.

dam fine boots dam fine

I never write reviews ever... I always felt like I did not want to waiste my time. However I realized after spending hours and days of serching for the perfect hiking boots how important reviews are to help one find the right boot.



I live in the rocky mountains of montana and needed a top level boot. I have serched and tryed a ton of brands and I must say... vasque Rules!



I use to own the original zephers before vasque re did them and messed them up. I needed something to replace my vasque zephers I hiked all over Iceland and montana in snow mountains and volcanic rock with my 1st pair and they were amazing. So I figured... why not come back to vasque for a new pair of boots since almost every other brand i have tryed besides merrill have felt crappy to me.



I just got the breeze gtx in the mail and have not hiked in them yet but have worn them around were I live. They feel even better than my 1st pair of zephers. They do not need to be broken in at all and they have a bit of a strech effect to them that felt like a custom fit around my foot the boot felt to form fit around my feet and are not tight or stiff what so ever.



One big thing you must know about vasque before you buy them is this... Always order 1 size higher then what you normally wear. vasque is not true to foot size. I wear size 14 and with both pairs of vasques I have had to get size 15.More detail ...

Works sometimes

I have had 3 of these. When it is working it is very effective. The first one I had arrived in non-working order. It would not charge properly (the red light never came on) and it only recharged things until it's initial charge ran out. So I sent it back to brunton and they very kindly sent me another. That one is still working. I also bought another one while I was waiting for the replacement since I was running out of time before traveling. That one worked for exactly one charge-discharge cycle and has not worked since. None of the lights come on any more. I love the functionality of this product it is a good size I hate the fragility. 2 out of 3 bad ones is not a good average.



An update: The 3rd one died too. After a little less than 1 months usage. Get the APC Mobile Power Pack instead.More detail ...

Best Rolling Luggage I've Ever Owned!

Packed my entire family of 4 into this bag for a week. Easy to pack organize and unpack. The external pockets are great for quick grab items like toiletry kits. I even wheeled this down a gravel path with no problem. Dragged it up and down several flights of stairs (made a lot of noise!) with no damage or problems. There is an internal wet/dry pocket which is great for separating dirty or wet clothes from the rest of your stuff.

Overall REALLY like this bag.More detail ...
