Eye protection is one of the top priorities when outfitting military personnel and law enforcement. To ensure vision safety, it's important to choose the best. The ESS Crossbow original glasses, available in the Prof1Group online store, will provide exactly that.
Glasses from the professionals: who are ESS
The Eye Safety Systems brand – ESS was created in 1998 as a subsidiary of Oakley, Inc. From the start, it specialized in vision protection products for athletes and military personnel. ESS tactical glasses are officially part of the U.S. Marine Corps equipment and are used by many other military units. The brand’s products are exported to over 100 countries worldwide.
The company continuously expands its product line, listening to market trends. Among its products, you can find sunglasses for civilians with protective qualities of shooting gear, popular among hunters and athletes.
Features of ESS glasses
ESS shooting glasses are equipped with lenses made from ballistic polycarbonate, with a thickness starting from 2.4mm. Depending on the model, the glasses can feature 2- or 3-layer lenses made from impact-resistant plastic, which eliminates peripheral distortion.
The company mainly uses a lens-change system that attaches to the DedBolt™ Lens Lock frame. The set may include clear, yellow, and smoked lenses for comfortable use in various lighting conditions.
All products are treated with an Anti-Fog solution to prevent lens fogging when temperature conditions change. Additionally, ventilation holes with filters are placed at the top and bottom of the frame to ensure continuous airflow around the eyes. In models with the Eyewear system, a two-level forced ventilation system is included, powered by a pump operating on two AA batteries, rated for 150 hours of use.
ESS brand develops on an innovative foundation, constantly improving the design and functionality of its products. Some of their most renowned technologies include:
- ClearZone™ FlowCoat – prevents scratches and fogging, ensuring a clear view in all conditions;
- Tri-Tech Fit™ – ergonomic fit and facial attachment without constriction or slipping;
- Vented Frames – a set of measures to prevent fogging and moisture build-up, ensuring constant high-quality ventilation;
- High Impact Protection – system for protecting products from mechanical damage.
All ESS Crossbow tactical glasses and other products undergo rigorous testing for reliability, strength, and safety. Before going to market, the model must obtain certification under the MIL-PRF-31013 standard for glasses and MIL-DTL-43511D for masks. The marking guarantees protection against dust, sand, pellets, small gravel, and shrapnel. The most powerful models can withstand 5.6mm caliber bullet impacts.
The lenses provide 100% protection from ultraviolet light, as well as protection from laser targeting pointers in the red radiation range of 635 – 670 nm. They undergo a speed test, which determines the degree of protection from external damage while maintaining image clarity during active movement.
