5.11 Tactical Ascend Sunglasses

5.11 Tactical has teamed up with Wiley X to offer cutting-edge eye protection. For 20 years, Wiley X has provided critical eye protection to the FBI, DEA, Army Rangers, Navy SEALS and other elite units. Designed, manufactured and tested by Wiley X for optimal precision, durability and safety, 5.11 Tactical’s state-of-the-art Ascend Sunglasses feature die-cut selenite polycarbonate lenses that prevent angular distortion and offer 10 times the impact resistance of glass or resin. The T-Shell lens coating provides scratch, crack and craze (stress mark) resistance. Frames are built with virtually indestructible Grilamid TR-90 homopolyamide nylon for extremely high bend strength, low density and high resistance to chemical and UV damage. Oil- and sweat-resistant rubber contact points at the nose and temples make these sunglasses extra comfortable for work, training, recreation and travel. Also available are the Shear and Climb models, which, like the Ascend, exceed both ANSI Z87.1-2003 and EN 166 safety and optical standards. MSRP $84.99.

Eye Safety Systems (ESS) Crossbow Suppressor

Eye Safety Systems (ESS) brings you an innovative spectacle frame designed for use with ear cup hearing protection and communication devices: the ESS Crossbow Suppressor. The frame’s ultra-thin temple arms keep noise out by minimizing the effects on the padded seal of the ear cups.
