Overview
A pull-on objective lens cap that fits an unusually wide range of night vision housings, so one cap covers a mixed inventory instead of a different part per device. The cap uses a two-point attachment rather than a single lip, which is what stops it working loose and disappearing the first time the goggle is stowed in a pack or flipped up on a helmet. Left on between uses it keeps grit and fingerprints off the objective — the face that costs the most to refinish and the one most exposed the moment the device leaves its case. It goes on and comes off by hand, with the goggle mounted or not, so there is no reason to leave the objective bare between periods of use.
Key Features
1) Two-point attachment, so the cap stays put in a pack or flipped up on a helmet instead of working loose;
2) Fits a wide range of night vision housings — one cap covers a mixed inventory;
3) Keeps grit and fingerprints off the objective, the most costly optical face to refinish;
4) Goes on and off by hand, with the device mounted or unmounted;
5) Odorless, and holds its shape rather than going slack in heat;
What's in the Box
One universal objective lens protection cap
How to Fit
1) Wipe the objective clean before capping it, so nothing is trapped against the glass;
2) Push the cap squarely onto the objective until both attachment points seat;
3) Tug it lightly to confirm both points are engaged before stowing the device;

Why the ARGUS Cap
The two-point attachment is the difference between a cap that is still on the goggle at the end of the night and one that is somewhere in the bottom of a pack.
Because it fits across the housings listed above, a unit running mixed devices can stock one cap instead of matching a different cover to each model.
Worth having one per device rather than one per user — a cap that lives on the objective protects it, a cap in a pocket does not.
