Your thoughts.
I used night vision goggles often in the Army. While driving you loose depth perception and become blinded by headlights (flares should be avoided). They weigh at least 5 lbs, stick out 6", and are fitted with a head harness, the lenses scratch easily even when the batteries are charged.
Most common mishap involves a full bladder, walking into a tree (nose bridge bang) and while urinating looking down as they slide off.
Bad idea
