I might be alone in this theory, but it seems to be the Hazmat Darklight Cowl and the Riot Gear Helmets (Regular, Advanced, Elite) are kind of bogus. They look cool, but they don't actually enhance your visibility in any way, they just add a color tint. However, when you combine the Sneak Sight off the Riot Gear Helmet the Red Hue and the light Green/Blue tint of Friend of the Night create a black and white effect that GREATLY enhances low light visibility. I have yet to test this with the Advanced or Elite versions of the Helmet, or with alternate versions of the game (playing on 360 myself). Not sure if this is a glitch, but it is a Godsend for a stealthy Courier.
