Your gateway drug for Helmet Mounted Thermal (HMT).  The FLIR Breach PTQ136 is a workhorse, entry level HMT that detects the heat of objects day or night. Featuring the proven FLIR Boson core and a compact design, the FLIR Breach offers drastically increased awareness over night vision alone.  When combined with a simple PVS-14 on a helmet, you will win every game of hide and seek with your goon buddies. 
 
Weighing only 7.4 ounces (210 grams), the FLIR Breach can be concealed in a pocket or mounted to a helmet with its mini-rail feature, while adding minimal weight. Additional features include onboard recording and seven palettes for fast detection day or night.  If you've been hesitant to dip your toe into the world of HMT/NV combo's due to expense, this is the way.
