The glasses are okay, but the case is different from the description—they arrived in a plastic case, but the description said fabric. Either change the description, or warn the customer during purchase that there may be such nuances. They also refused to replace the case, offering instead to return and reorder. This process takes more than a week, and it’s not clear whether I’ll get the same kind of case again...
ESS Crossbow APEL Tactical Glasses Clear/Smoke Gray - Black
Ballistic Crossbow glasses from the Cross-Series line. They are equipped with scratch-resistant, easily replaceable ballistic visors with an Anti-Fog coating, which do not cause image distortion across the entire field of view and provide 100% protection against UVA and UVB radiation. The model is listed on the U.S. Army Approved Protective Eyewear List (APEL).
Polycarbonate visors with filter, ClearZone FlowCoat and DedBolt technology
The model features a damage- and deformation-resistant ballistic visor of the first optical class with a thickness of 2.4 mm, made of polycarbonate. It was created to the ESSOPTICS standard, free from any distortion and providing 100% protection against UVA and UVB radiation. An advantage of the Crossbow glasses is zero or very low susceptibility to fogging and high scratch resistance thanks to the ClearZone FlowCoat technology, which involves applying special layers, where the outer one protects the visor against scratches and the inner one reduces lens fogging.
The DedBolt snap-fit system enables easy and very fast visor replacement - installation is carried out using profiled notches at its ends and an opening in the middle section.
Tri-Tech Fit frames and non-slip temples
Flexible frames with Tri-Tech Fit technology ensure maximum comfort and no pressure points. The inner side of the temples is finished with non-slip rubber, which increases wearing comfort. Cross-Series compatibility allows replacement with another visor from the series or with ultra-thin Suppressor frames, suitable for use with hearing protectors and communication systems. The design uses a comfortable, replaceable composite-silicone nose piece.

Anti-Fog coating prevents lens fogging, maintaining clear vision in humid conditions or during varying temperatures. Eyeglasses with this coating do not require frequent cleaning or defogging, making vision more comfortable.
The use of ClearZone FlowCoat technology protects the outside of the visor from scratching and the inside from fogging.
Tri-Tech Fit is a technology used in flexible glasses frames. It provides high wearing comfort and eliminates pressure points. It allows the glasses to fit the shape of the user's head.
DedBolt snap-in system allows for easy and very quick replacement of the visor - it is mounted by means of contoured notches on its edges and a hole in the center of the glasses.

The goggles themselves are good, with 2 lenses and a tightening strap, but the set is not as shown in the photo: the case is different and there is no brown bottle. Overall, I am satisfied, but there are some issues.
