The new Aegis ECHO and ECHO Compact from Smith Optics Elite Division were designed specifically to be compatible with hearing protection/ communications systems. The Aegis ECHO features a distortion free, anti-fog optical lens that meets US Mil Spec MIL-PRF-31013 and ANSI Z87.1 standards and provides 100% UVA and UVB protection.
As you can see from this photo, the earpieces are the secret to the design at 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.
During June, Amron is teaming with ESS to offer 26% off all ESS products on purchases made through the Amron website.
Amron has a full line of ESS eyewear, goggles, lenses and accessories that you can choose from to suit your needs. To check out what is available, visit Amron’s ESS brand page at www.amronintl.com/ess
Product Manager Soldier Protective Equipment (PM SPE) is hosting an Industry Day for the Military Combat Eye Protection (MCEP) Qualified Products List (QPL) effort. The MCEP QPL Industry Day will be held on Wednesday, 27 June 2012, in the Belvoir Room at the Fort Belvoir Officers’ Club, 5500 Schultz Circle #20, Fort Belvoir, VA 22060-6102, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST.
Interested vendors must RSVP by 4:00 p.m. EST on 20 June 2012 and provide the name(s) of those attending on their behalf. Attendees must be U.S. citizens. Due to limited space, attendance will be limited to manufacturers of protective eyewear and a maximum of three (3) attendees per company. Reservations are available on a first-come, first-served basis or until capacity has been met.
One challenge to industry for this new program is that vendors must adapt their products to interface with the Universal Prescription Lens Carrier (UPLC), NSN 6540-01-600-6532. This is a GOTS product and some eyepro geometries may not accommodate this item.
The current Army Protective Eyewear List has been fraught with controversy. The process has been haphazard and when lots of product from individual vendors fails testing, the Army has been reticent to disseminate the information. Hopefully, the Army will adopt a more streamlined, and transparent process.
Rudy Project has released a softcopy catalog of their tactical line. You might be surprised by who you see inside.
Check them out.

Look for the Aegis Echo coming early May 2012.
