Protection without compromising visibility and style?
We’ve been selling the Smith Optics Elite ballistic eyewear for a very long time and although we consider ourselves new to it, so are the vast majority of our customers. Most people see protective eyewear at a hardware store that is something you wear when riding a tractor or lawnmower or even with a weedwacker. Those inexpensive glasses will stop a flying rock or piece of wood but they are not going to give you protection from objects moving 650 FPS. I have been wearing the Chamber tactical polarized brown sunglasses for a very long time and the reason I went with these was that they gave me the best visibility. Everyone’s face and head is different so for some people it’s about the frame and how it sits on your face rather than just the sizes of the lense.
I’ve been asking Smith Optics Elite to make a smaller frame or atleaset thinner frame Protective glasses because I have a hard time using eyewear like this on a firing line due to the fact there are blind spots. The Smith Optics Elite Eyewear that we got in are the Pivlocks and these are kind of a cross between sunglasses and the Smith Optics Elite eyeshields. I love the Eyeshields for range or protective services but I do not like them for daily use. If I wore those while driving a car I’d look like a meat butcher. We’re always looking for feedback and customer reviews from products like this and the best way to test them out is to stop in our Broomall, Pennsylvania stocking dealer showroom.
