Additionally, the goggles are designed with an ergonomic interface, making them comfortable to wear for extended periods without causing fatigue.

For added convenience, the ATN PS-15 offers adaptability with various accessories, including helmet mounts and a variety of lenses. This flexibility allows users to customize their experience according to their specific needs and preferences.

Overall, the ATN PS-15 stands out as an exceptional dual-channel night vision goggle that combines high-performance optics, robust construction, and user-friendly features.
