Around the 4th of July I started noticing Mechanix Wear had introduced safety eyewear to their line.
They even wrapped some of their trucks. To be sure, Mechanix Wear and NASCAR go together like two peas in a pod, but this image certainly caught my eye.
Sure, he’s a hunter, but that’s closer to tactical use than the gloves were when they were brought over to tactical from garage wear due to their comfort, dexterity and value.
But then somebody sent me this photo from the 29 Palms ServMart. It appears that units are already buying the safety glasses for use in the shop.
It took awhile after individuals and units were buying gloves before they created specific tactical models. Hopefully, we’ll some dedicated MIL-SPEC styles from Mechanix Wear soon.
