SHOT Show – Team Wendy Introduces Exfil SAR Visor
Wednesday, January 20th, 2016Revision Introduces New LazrBloc GF-8 Laser Protective Ballistic Lens
Tuesday, January 19th, 2016
Essex Junction, Vermont (January 18, 2016) – Revision Military, a world leader in protective eyewear solutions, has developed and patented a laser dye for a dual-band laser protective lens that blocks 99.9% of green laser energy and over 99% of the most powerful Near-Infrared (NIR) component of commercially available green lasers. Revision’s patented dye is used in the company’s new LazrBloc GF-8 Laser Protective Ballistic Lens. The LazrBloc GF-8 lens is a unique ballistic lens that blocks green laser emissions and the high-risk NIR energy that exists outside the visible spectrum. Importantly, this lens delivers greater visible light transmission and color recognition as compared to other laser lenses on the market, making GF-8 lenses ideal for day or nighttime use.

“We have always prided ourselves on our advanced protective eyewear solutions,” said Jim Hester, Vice President, Optics at Revision, “and this means identifying and adapting to new and more complex threats. Laser strikes are no longer just a military concern, they are an increasingly prevalent reality for many operating in the private sector. Revision is leading the way by providing an efficient and leading solution with the new LazrBloc GF-8 laser protective ballistic lenses.” Hester notes that these new laser protective lenses, like Revision’s previous eyewear successes in ballistic spectacles, goggles, and laser protection technology, are the result of rigorous and highly-developed design, engineering, and manufacturing processes that are constantly evolving in line with market needs. Accordingly, he adds that “in this emerging industry, Revision’s LazrBloc GF-8 laser protective lens is unmatched in its combination of ballistic protective properties, green laser blockage, Near-Infrared protection, and visible light transmission, striking an optimal balance in a single, remarkably effective, integrated solution.”
Reports indicate that illuminations by handheld lasers are primarily green (91%) in color. The wavelength of most green lasers (532 nm) is close to the eye’s peak sensitivity when they are dark-adapted, and green lasers appear brighter than other laser colors of equal power output. Inexpensive and easy to obtain laser devices may not filter and/or align the optics, or can be maliciously altered, contaminating the green laser with a potentially harmful NIR component at 808 nm. The human eye is highly sensitive and strong emissions of directed light containing hazardous wavelengths can cause permanent ocular injury in an instant. Revision’s LazrBloc GF-8 laser protective lenses are designed to block this NIR wavelength, which is undetectable by the naked eye, while still maintaining superior light transmission, color recognition, and situational awareness as compared to other dye-based laser lenses.
Revision’s GF-8 lens formulation provides an interchangeable, situation-adaptable solution that can be manufactured for Revision’s StingerHawk Spectacle System and Exoshield Extreme Low-Profile Eyewear, as well as for Revision’s other Rx-compatible military spectacle and goggle lines.
FirstSpear Range Day – Oakley Alpha Ecosystem
Monday, January 18th, 2016The Alpha Ecosystem from Oakley is a modular and scalable eye protection system that consists of multiple components. The critical component is the common Alpha lens which was developed using the same eye tracking work studies that spawned last year’s Tombstone glasses. Those studies included shooting, CQB, fast roping and mobility. This time the application is all about tactical use and the field of view is awesome.
The system consists or a frame, a goggle and a helogasket using the common Alpha lens. This is huge for the operator as well as his logistics support.
The lens is held in place with a three point retention system. Interestingly, this almost rimless design also allows the lens to vent and prevent fogging. Lens technologies for this system are Prizm Shooting and Prizm Snow. The Prizm variants TR45 is for low and bright light and TR22 is for bright light. Both lens colors are offered on the Special Operations Eyewear Program.
Frames are available in Black, Tan 499 and White.

Angel 7 Industries – Raptor Goggles
Wednesday, January 6th, 2016The Raptor is a low profile ballistic, tactical goggle with optimized peripheral and vertical viewing area. It incoprates shape-conforming BIORMR foam which creates a seal around the ocular area to prevent the ingress of sand, dust, and wind.
Lens Features:
– Distortion-free, ultra clear optics
– 100% protection against UVA/B/C
– Quick tightening and removable straps
– Lightweight: 25g
– Superior peripheral and vertical viewing
area
– BIORMR foam seal lined with antimicrobial
fabric prevents ingress of sand, dust, and wind
– High performance anti-fog
-SERAPH Advanced Protective Shield; a coating that is highly resistant to chemicals, scratches, and is super-hydrophobic (water simply beads off), ensuring optimal visual
clarity in wet, rainy conditions

Angel 7 Industries – A7 Stealth Eye Pro
Tuesday, October 20th, 2015This is a release from Angel 7 Industries, through their A7 Defense & Aerospace division, regarding the release of the new A7 Stealth Eye Pro. The full release can be read below:
A7 Defense & Aerospace, a division of Angel 7 Industries, is proud to introduce the new A7 Stealth eye pro with super ballistic i-RMR technology, Ghost Shield super fast photochromic technology, and next-gen Laser Eye Protection (820-1064nm) all in one lens!
i-RMR technology is the industries’ most ballistically advanced and can defeat a shotgun blast, using steel shot, from 15 feet away. Ghost Shield is the industries’ fastest photochromic technology that darkens to 13% VLT in less than ten seconds, and is also the toughest as it is not a coating but is embedded in the lens material itself so there is nothing to scratch off and nothing that can be affected by sand, fuels, chemicals, etc. These two one-of-a-kind technologies have now been combined with next generation Laser Eye Protection (LEP) that protects in the range of 820-1064nm with a high VLT resulting in one lens with multi-mission, multi-threat capability.
SPECS
Angel 7 Industries – Imagery From The Latest Photo Shoot
Monday, September 14th, 2015Angel 7 Industries has provided imagery and a release from their latest photo shoot of the i-RMR ballistic lens technology.
The most versatile eye pro on the market. A7 has developed a proprietary manufacturing process that allows various technologies to be combined into a single lens for multi mission capable eye pro systems that can be worn either day or night. A7’s Ghost Shield photochromic technology, the industry’s fastest and clearest photochromic, has successfully been combined with High Definition, LEP, and mirrored options (MP series) that transform from slightly sheened lenses into fully mirrored lenses in direct sunlight.
The benefit is that an operator now only needs to carry one lens instead of two or three to compensate for different threat levels and for day and night time use. A7’s Apollo, Raptor, and Stealth eye pro systems will debut at the 2015 DESI show in London, the world’s leading international Security and Defense event.
OR – Smith Elite
Friday, August 7th, 2015Smith Elite introduced Kryotek coatings to their line with a single frame about 18 months ago and now they’ve expanded to three frames, Prospect, Hideout and Hudson which can be pur hased with Kryptek’s Highlander or Typhon patterns. The Typhon is so subtle when matched with a grey lens that you can’t see it more than a few feet away.
These eyepro all exceed US MIL-PRF-31013 clause 3.5.1.1 & ANSI Z87.1 and feature anti-fog coating.
