Apparel Items are ones that can't be used as weapons, but take up a weapon slot; they usually provide CJ with assistance in some way. There are only three Apparel Items in the game, which are Night Vision Goggles, Thermal Vision Goggles, and the Parachute.
NIGHT VISION GOGGLES
Night Vision Goggles share the same icon and in-game model as the Thermal Vision Goggles, although they have different functions. Night Vision Goggles makes it so the player can see in the dark, presenting what little light there is in a green tint. After equipping the goggles, you can switch to another weapon and even drive vehicles.

THERMAL VISION GOGGLES
Thermal Vision Goggles share the same icon and in-game model as the Night Vision Goggles, although they have completely different functions. They are best used at night, and when worn, the player is able to see the heat given off by other people and vehicles. The colors used are blue, purple, pink and red, with blue being cool and red being hot. You can switch to another weapon and even drive a vehicle, while still getting the effects of the goggle.

PARACHUTE
The Parachute's main purpose is to safely get CJ to the ground after falling from a great height or after bailing out of a plane or helicopter. You'll learn everything about how to use one with the last lesson in the Pilot School. You can do base jumps in the game, but you must make sure you select the Parachute before jumping; otherwise, you will die when you hit the ground. Jumping out of a plane or helicopter will make the Parachute default. The best time to pull the chord to open it is when the game prompts you to do it.
