The new Aegis Echo from Smith Optics Elite Division was designed specifically to be compatible with hearing protection/ communications systems. As you can see from this photo, the earpieces are the secret to the design and are a scant .6mm thick. This is the lowest profile temple in the industry and crafted from stainless steel making them rigid yet adjustable. These earpieces allow you to get as close to the head as possible without breaking the seal on the headset or causing a hotspot or worse yet, a headache.
Look for the Aegis Echo coming early May 2012.
What’s up with the delay in getting these to market? Smith originally said the SHOT show, then the Pro Site said MAR and then APR, and now you’re saying May.
