Thank you for your interest in this product of Every Pixel is Art. The 'Neptune Spear' Combat helmet is based on the helmet and night vision goggles that were used by RL Navy Seals during the operations Neptune Spear, also known as the operation wherein Bin Laden was eliminated.
The helmet has many features including a menu with 5 helmet and 5 NVG skins, resizer, and lense color and glow options. On top of that, the night vision goggles can be put down, up, or taken off. To get to this menu simply left-click your combat helmet while you have it worn.
Additionally, there is also a Night Vision HUD included. When attached, this HUD will only appear in mouselook AND if you have the goggles put down. The HUD will not appear if you have the goggles put up, or detached.
We hope you will enjoy this item, and if you have any questions, you can always contact us.

Pros:
Detailed model
Low script time and memory usage
Various texture options
Affordable
Cons:
Night vision HUD is more or less a gimmick and it's impossible to see anything with them on
Straps can't be removed without making the night vision helmet connector alpha out as well
The cons aren't dealbreakers for me personally but I just am highly annoyed it would require a lot of editing to get something so basic on most other helmets of similar design.
The only way you'll own these goggles
On the plus side, the model looks really good and the goggles are nicely functional. The addition of a hud for the night vision look is a clever addition. On the neutral side of things, I'm not too sure about changing the glare or glow from the lenses, I think a single low glare or one of a realistic (and average) level would simplify things a little. My only complaints are that the night vision goggle hud doesn't use a green overlay to make things seem more realistic, and for very nitpicky things, the hud doesn't seem to show through in all the areas that the goggles realistically allow to be seen, and limit more than they otherwise would.
On the plus side, for 350L$ I can have L-3 GPNVG-18 goggles, something I'd never be able to purchase for real as much as I may want.
