Edge Safety Eyewear was founded 20 years ago in Utah. All of their ballistic safety eyewear are Z87.1+2010 and MCEPS rated through testing at Colts Laboratories. Additionally, they’ve integrated their proprietary “Vapor Shield” anti-fog technology demonstrated in this video.
They offer a full line of tactical eyewear including goggles and glasses.
Rex Specs are protective eyewear for dogs. They remain stable on the face, allowing for full jaw motion and range of view. The lenses are interchangeable and UV protective, and come in three tints: Clear, Smoke, and Mirror. These would be a good option for all manner of working dogs, or any pets which spend a lot of time out in the field.
The PIG Eyepro Sack from SKD Tactical is a 100% cotton MultiCam sack, measuring 4.25″ x 7″. Perfect for carrying most commercial eyewear, the Eyepro Sack features a MilSpec paracord drawstring, and ITW cord lock. It’s machine washable, and also functions as a lens wipe.
Ghost Shield is a proprietary manufacturing process which allows Angel 7 to embed photochromic material directly into the ballistic polycarbonate which makes up the lenses of the glasses. This process increases the density of the polycarbonate, which means there’s no material to scratch off, and the lenses are also impervious to chemicals, saltwater, sand, and other damaging substances that can be found in an operational environment. The process is also fully automated, which, according to Angel 7, allows them to produce a higher yeld at a lower cost, and 14 times faster when compared to a “flow coated” product.
The features that Ghost Shield offers includes:
– 35% faster transition time when compared to other photochromic products on the market
– 90% clear in its unactivated state when compared to 78% clear from the next closest competitor
– Exceeds MilSpec ballistic requirements
Ghost Shield technology is being adapted to the following areas:
Ghost Shield A.M.T. (All Mission Tactical) – for Ground combat, law enforcement, airfield and flight deck personnel.
Ghost Shield A.M.A. (All Mission Air) – for pilot and aircrew personnel fixed and rotary wing.
Ghost Shield Gridiron – football helmet shields
Ghost Shield Power Sport – smotorcycle faceshields, goggles, and glasses.
In the below video, you can view Ghost Shield A.M.T. in action during a jump.
Revision Military is so much more than eyepro. Over the past several years they’ve purchased a company or three and expanded their capabilities to provide a holistic soldier protection solution. Although they have been involved in USSOCOM’s TALOS program, it was more a conduit to showcase what they’ve done than a driver of innovation. They were already well on their own path when former Commander, USSOCOM, ADM McRaven called on industry to develop an “ironman” suit.
Revision has been way out in front of everyone else bringing this all in house. Hopefully, their hard work will be rewarded.
