You get what you pay for with ballistic eyewear
We get people coming into our store with all kinds of budget ranges but we really do try and avoid the cheap stuff. The cheap stuff is usually made in China and we can sometimes make good margins on the products but the returns and the unhappy customers are too common for these products. There are gun accessories out there that are cheap, break and don’t hold up and there is a reason we stick with Troy and Magpul industries for firearm accessories. Same goes for flashlights and tactical lights, the lenses and durability of the glass is something that really comes to play when you figure out your budget range.
I have tested out many brands of eyewear and the truth of the matter is much of it is about warranties and personal preferences. My favorite of the Smith Optics Elite protective sunglasses are the Chamber tacticals. These seem to fit my face very well and i don’t feel my eyelashes rubbing against the lenses. We have guys stop in here embarressed to tell us that their eye lashes are long, but that red eye scratch feeling is something that does happen too often. There is also a prescription lense option for anyone that needs it but you will have to fill out and RX form and submit it directly to Smith Optics.
