Revision Eyewear PDQ
January 25th, 2010 | Product Announcement | Posted by Stickman
Revision Eyewear has found a way to keep your eyewear on your helmet when it’s not in use. The PDQ secures your U.S. Army-issued Desert Locust goggles to your helmet using hook and loop while providing a user-adjustable angle on the helmet. The included rubber gasket allows easy access to your night vision mount. The kits are available now for $39 retail, $24 unit buy from revisioneyewear.com. While we covered the announcement of the PDQ at AUSA in 2008, it looks like Revision has dropped all but the black and foliage green colors and hasn’t upped the price.
Shot 09 – Tactical style
January 18th, 2009 | Product Announcement | Posted by Sheila
Wiley X eye pro are popping up in lots of places other than the battlefield. At the Wiley X booth, a monitor played video of sports stars and celebrities – including William Shatner – wearing various designs of the company’s high velocity protection, ANSI rated eyewear.
Representatives at Shot Show displayed some of their designs for the ladies, including extra-large, Elton John/Paris Hilton pink frames with names like “Lacey,” “Ashley,” and “Dalila.” The only one I could imagine wearing (if I HAD to wear “girl” glasses) was the P17NP. Not too butch, not too sweet.
If you happen to check out the Wiley X website, and you watch the commercial of the stud photojournalist making pictures under fire without any body armor on…we’re not all like that. I’ll take the body armor, the Kevlar – and the eye pro.
Shot 09- Smith Thinks UR ‘Leet
January 18th, 2009 | Product Announcement | Posted by Rob Curtis
Made in the USA eyewear kingpin Smith has stepped into the tactical arena today with the launch of the Smith Optics Elite Division. The line is a handful of eye-wrappers from goggles to casual looking shades with ballistic protection.
The Aegis is positioned in the middle of the lineup as a full-view, tapered eyeshield. The trick bits include a mechanical lens changing system that uses two levers (see the pics) to positively lock the lens in place for a fast, frustration-free lens change. The tapered arms should slide under a set of ear-muffs at the range. Cost is about $85. More snaps from the Show Floor after the break.
