New from Smith Optics Elite Division – Tactical Boogie Regulator

Thursday, March 1st, 2012

In this video provided by Smith Optics Elite Division, Director Rick Elder discusses the new Tactical Boogie Regulator developed initially for SOF. He discusses the various pluses and minuses of the ‘boogie’ skydiving goggle style and what Smith Optics did to mitigate fogging. The tactical regulator system is ambidextrous and the perfect size to balance venting of moisture and protection from wind and debris.

Introducing an additional, moveable vent opened up another issue; how to protect against secondary projectiles caused by lens strikes. Smith engineers introduced the safe fail system that ejects away from the face.

The Ignitor (seen above) is my favorite lens from Smith. It can be used in full or low light conditions and helps with definition. They also offer Clear and Gray lenses. All offer 100% protection from UVA and UVB rays as well as the all important US MIL-DTL-43511D goggle impact protection as well ANSI Z87.1 protection.

There are several strap options including the sweet Ops-Core Accessory Rail Connector compatible mounts.

Not convinced yet? How about this? They’re only $40.

Revision Introduces Sawfly Photochromic Eyewear System

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

Revision is introducing the Sawfly Photochromic Eyewear System. It features the ballistic photochromic Sawfly lens automatically darkens to a sunglass tint when exposed to sunlight and returns to its clear state in the absence of UV rays, providing a tactical edge in rapidly changing environments.

“Revision’s photochromic lens technology not only eliminates the need to switch lenses when transitioning between the indoors and outside, but also automatically adjusts to compensate for varying outdoor light levels allowing the end user to focus on his mission, not his eyepro,” commented Jonathan Blanshay, CEO of Revision. Revision’s Photochromic Sawfly lens takes only 60 seconds to change from its darkest state to almost clear, while most competitors’ lenses take more than twice as long to do the same. From the clear state to a light-grey lens tint capable of blocking sun glare, it takes only 20 seconds. “For military and tactical operators, faster photochromic lens change means enhanced visual performance when it’s most needed – in dynamic environments.”

Revision eyewear exceeds ANSI Z87.1-2010 and U.S. military ballistic impact requirements for spectacles (MIL-PRF-31013 clause 3.5.1.1) while providing flawless optics and 100% UV protection. Look for them in March 2012.

They will be in SHOT Show booth #26011.
