2yrs of running with Smith Optics Elite Eyeshields

Smith Optics Elite eyeshieldsI’ve been through so many safety glasses that I’m really sure I put my money in the right place when I drop $85 for a Smith Optics Elite eyeshield kit.   I don’t have a need for the amber or yellow glasses but sometimes its nice to just run clear shields and not  have the sunglasses style.  On those dark over cast days you don’t want any light limitation. We’ve mostly had positive feedback on the Smith Optics Elite ballistic eyewear.   Every product line has a glitch or whoops but there have been very few of them from this product line  unlike some of the others we have dealt with.   Our main selling point with this ballistic eyewear are the warranties on the sunglasses because some people are afraid to drop $80-$125 if they know they can loose or break them.  Well, if you get fragmentation or they get cracked the lenses on the protective sunglasses are replaceable not the frames.

I went with the Aegis Compact eyeshields because they fit my head better and fit is just as important as clarity with something like this.  We’ve had a lot of junk, and cheap eyewear but those tend to not be as strong and the clarity usually deteriorates and fogging is always an issue with the cheap stuff.   My choice for the Smith Optics Elite eyeshields are the compact ARC field kits.   The Echo is pretty cool but seems to be more for guys wearing helmets or larger ear protection.  I’m good with my Ear Pros that only cost me less than $15 and are more comfortable than using foam ear plugs.  There is also an asian fit for people with wider noses so you may have to stop in and try them out so you know what fits you.

New Products from Smith Optics Elite

It looks like we have a good review of the new  Smith Optics Elite eyewear that was on display at Shot Show this year.   Last year the Boogie regulators were the big hit but we kind of fell a sleep at the wheel on some of the other Smith Optics Elite eyewear.   The Aegis Echo is something we forgot to list on our website and now that so many of our customers have asked us why we have not been carrying them, we brought them in late January 2013.  The Aegis Echo is something that anyone with hearing protection or helmets might prefer due to the fact that it does not bend around your ears and press against your head.

Comfort is with eyewear is something anyone in the Military or SWAT Team is going to know about.  There are so many styles of frames from Smith Optics Elite protective sunglasses that  you really need to try them on and see how they feel because your eye and comfort tolerances will vary depending  on what  you are doing.  Some of the ballistic eyewear, like the goggles can feel different on  your face and even eye lashes will get annoyed depending on the fit.   All Smith Optics Elite eyewear has a lifetime warranty on the lenses and many of our customers have taken advantage of that.

Smith Optics Elite new products, new year….

We always have our favorite product lines each year that put  put out new and interesting things and always impress us.   Original Swat, Tru-Spec, Trijicon and now Smith Optics Elite are on our list.   There are many products that we sell that our employees wear and use every day and will personally attest to their clarity, durability or value.   When many of us first started wearing the Smith Optics Eyewear it all seemed like over priced shooting range glasses until we actually wore them and looked through them.  We’ve had guys come in here and say they get the cheap stuff at the hardware store, but none of them knew about the prescription lense options or the manufacturer’s warranty on the eyewear.

Many of the goggles that we sell are similar to each other, but Smith Optics Elite came out with a lo-profile goggle in multicam last year as well as the very well received boogie regulator google.   The boogie regulators are really big for sky diving and airsoft and we’re amazed at  how  broad these Smith Optics Elite goggles have been accepted.  I read a few negative reviews from people about them  online but that has not been our experienced.  When entire tactical teams are walking in the door and send their buddies in the next week, and nobody complains about them, and they are getting used, we know we have a good product.

Boogie Regulators best bang for the buck

The Boogie Regulator opens up our eyewear product line to something new and general inexpensive eyewear.   Some ballistic eyewear might not work for you due to the design and frame and that’s why it’s always nice to be able to walk into a stocking Smith Optics Elite dealer.   The Boogie Regulator is an easy product to wear because there are multiple ways of wear it.  Check out the above Youtube video for the Smith Optics Elite boogie regulator goggles accessory.

The boogie regulator comes in 3 different lense designs, there is no frame to have interchangeable lenses so you might need to buy more than one.  These ballistic goggles are available in clear, gray and ignitor. These Smith Optics Elite goggles are the most practical thing to wear while riding a motorcycle, taking a Carbine or Defensive firearm course, send them off to your kids in the Military or give it to your Dad for Father’s day.

You get what you pay for in optics, firearms and safety equipment

I got a hold of a few samples of other ballistic eyewear this week and it’s been over a year that I have been wearing the Smith Optics Elite division of eyewear.   I’ve worn safety glasses for almost  20yrs and couldn’t tell the difference between the ones I used for cutting the lawn and weed wacking vs the ones I wore when I was shooting a 22lr rifle at boy scout camp.   The one thing I have learned over the years is to make sure I put the glasses back in a case or have a clip on cover over my car visor so they don’t get scratched up.  Even ballistic eyewear can get scraped up and once that is done, it will no longer be of much use causing blind spots or annoyances.

The tactical lifestyle eyewear has a broaders customer base and is very popular with range officers.   The ballistic eyewear from Smith Optics Elite has grown in 2012 and the new Boogie regulator and the lo profile googles have caught on.   We still carry the smith Optics elite standard goggles and the Turbo fan goggles but due to so many variations in military helmets and such, you need a broader selection of goggles for those  operating out of helicopters, using night vision and those in standard issue kevlar helmets.   We are a full line dealer and have a large selection in our store for  you to check out so stop in sometime.

I guess you become a target when you’re popular

Now that Rogue Elite is showing up more and more on Google, Yahoo and all of the major search engines, we’re seeing more and more credit card fraud and attempts on us.  I guess it just goes with the territory but it’s amazing to see how many international shipping companies there are and how many times we’ve seen people try and get us to ship to this with a stolen credit card.  Last year we  had over  100 attempts of credit card fraud and it was mostly for expensive optics, AR15 uppers and flashlights.

It’s disturbing but it’s usually very easy to monitor.   From time to time we get alerts from  our providers about attempts to hack us and we’d like to say Hello to those that are hitting Rogue Elite your source for tactical pants, tactical gear and accessories,  Smith Optics Elite has become our favorite ballistic eye wear company and after getting in the new Boogie Regulators from Smith Optics, we’re really happy with how diverse our eyewear product line is.  We’re sending a few of these out for review from local training groups but we’re really happy with the new clear, gray and Ignitor tactical regulators.
