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.

Looing for eyewear but not sure what to buy?

We have been very happy with the Smith Optics Elite eyewear and in 2012 the product line has gotten even better with the low profile googles and our favorite the Boogie Regulator.   I have gone through piles of safety glasses over the years and mostly because they got so scratched up it affected my visibility and interfered with my targeting of things while on the range.  I have had some issues in the past where if I did not have protection I would have been blinded.   There’s nothing like having a 7.62 nato round go off in a magazine 10 inches from your face.   Googles tend to be pretty bulky and there are wide variations in fit and sizing.

If you want an easy fix for a product that has several ways it can be attached to your helmet or head, check out the Smith Optics Elite Boogie Regulator.   This piece of eyewear won’t break the bank and the Boogie Regulator from Smith Optics Elite comes in a gray, clear and ignitor.    There is a lever on each side of the eyewear that opens and closes so you can allow air to move through it and reduce any fogging.   I would consider these to be the best ballistic eyewear to use for new shooters because it’s very secure and not bulky for shooting through rifle scopes.
