Wiley-X Unveiling New Designs at SHOT Show

Thursday, January 6th, 2011

Wiley X® has been making protective eyewear since 1985. Naturally, they will be presenting new products at this year’s SHOT Show. In fact, the show’s New Product Showcase will include the Wiley X Saber Advancedâ„¢ from the company’s Changeable Series. Additionally, Wiley X® will have two exhibits at the show, booth #128 and #20220, and will be generating additional buzz with its new Wiley X® Black Opsâ„¢ line — black on black shades in some of the company’s most popular styles, created for elite-level military and law enforcement personnel and dedicated shooters. Each “operative” in the series combines Wiley X’s High Velocity Protectionâ„¢ (HVPâ„¢) combined with cool, sleek designs. We checked the Operator series out last year but the booth was so swamped we couldn’t get in to talk to anyone. In addition to their tactical brands they will also have their new hunting eyewear on display.

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010

S.O.Tech has just released several new accessories for their SOCOM issue Mission Go Bag.

Mission Go Bag Flap

Personal Electronics Pouch

Water Bottle Pouch

BLoCS Eye Pro and Admin Hard Case

Everything else is pretty self explanatory, but we have got to say a couple of things about this. It’s an ergonomic glasses case that doubles as an admin pouch. Eyepro is protected by a foam lined hard case. Inside the case are also loops for AA and 123 batteries, a SureFire 6P sized flashlight, and two pens. There are two internal pockets for ear plugs or other items. On the outer face is a fold down window for note cards, ID, or small GPS device. The front of the flap has hook and loop for patches and the bottom of the pouch has two loops for chem lights. One pair of Paladin Shooting Glasses are included with each pouch.

Smith Ignitor Lens

Thursday, November 4th, 2010

Smith Optics’ set out to develop a lens for use in all light conditions, all year round. The result was the Ignitor, Smith’s number one selling lens. It excels in flat light conditions by increasing contrast but it turns out you can use the lens during both light and dark conditions. Since Smith Optics meet ANSI Z87.1 standards for impact and the Ignitor lens is suitable in bright as well as low light environments, it can be worn constantly without having to change glasses, goggles, or lenses making it an excellent lens for tactical applications. It’s great not having to take your glasses off when you go inside, not to mention being able to see clearly in conditions like this.

Lots of you are running a variety of ballistic and bump helmets and this product is designed to keep your goggles attached to your helmet.

The Mini Grip “Mili-G” version features a compact design made out of durable polycarbonate plastic and coated with a matte finish to eliminate glare (Black and Tan). They offer a peel and stick application version for hard surface mounting and another version for cloth covered surface mounting applications which includes tested industrial strength bonding agent.

Precise Overlay Registration Within Augmented Reality

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

We know it sounds like a mouthful but the folks at Chicago-based Tanagram Partners are on to something. Essentially they are able to overlay geo-registered data sets over objects of interest. So, if you are looking at a building for example, additional information on that building can be accessed. Additionally, the information can applied to any form of imagery enhancement whether visual spectrum, IR, or night vision.
