Smith Optics Elite Aegis ECHO Now Available for Order

Monday, June 25th, 2012

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.

Military Combat Eye Protection Industry Day

Sunday, June 3rd, 2012

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.

CamoVision Goes Kloak

Friday, April 6th, 2012

JerryJack Outdoors has licensed Kloak Konsealment pattern camo for its “CamoVision” eyewear.

“With CamoVision adopting our KLOAK line of cryptic camouflage in its state-of-the-art eyewear, hunters can get closer than ever to total concealment when in the field,” said Steve Regan, President and CEO of Genesis Pattern Technologies. “Once again, the fact that CamoVision chose KLOAK for its unique technology is very exciting to Genesis.” (Kloak cammie patterns are based on mimicry patterning and ‘cryptic’ colorations found in the natural world. (Some of you may remember Kloak from SHOT.)

CamoVision uses a bonding pattern to add a camouflage pattern to the lenses. This makes you look cool and has the additional benefit (if looking cool isn’t enough for you) of masking your eye movement from whatever you’re hunting.

Not zombies, it should be noted. Zombies don’t respond to typical predator-prey dynamics, and won’t care about your eyes. Or hippies. They will be too stoned to care.

Lenses are impact resistant polycarbonate UV on nylon frames. They plan on having multiple patterns on styles for for men, women and children.

For more information, check out CamoVision; for more about Kloak, check their website.
