Well, they don't actually use them! In fact, nearlly all Night Vision Goggles (NVG's) are Light Intensification technology (Starlight scopes). Most of the NVG's do in fact have an IR seeing capability, and a small in-built IR illuminator for close up viewing in totally dark environments. So your players are in fact getting LI/IR (passive/active) goggles. Both NATO and the Warsaw Pact have good examples. The 2000 standard is the NATO AN/PVS-7 and the Pact Kolibl Orion-8.
Price and availablity unchanged.
Kevlar (Ballistic Nylon) Vest:
This item has changed into several different types, it is also now possible to add on or take off panels to change the protection of the vest, so you can change the vests weight and encumbrance relative to the threat that you may face. The heavier armours are very constricting, but the upper levels of protection will stop a 7.62mm bullet!
Follow this link for an explanation of the armour ratings and the calibre of weapons they protect against.
The standard military level of protection is III-A, this is the type listed in the main rules. The NATO equivalent is the PASGT or the RBA and the Pact version are the various Kirasa models.
