I used them for over two years, I can honestly recommend them. Now I've bought the whole set, previously, I only had the darkened lens. The price is high, but you have to pay for comfort and safety.
ESS Crossbow tactical glasses - 3LS
Ballistic glasses Crossbow belonging to the Cross-Series line. Equipped with scratch-resistant visors with ballistic properties, which can be easily replaced. The visors have anti-fog protection and provide 100% protection against UVA and UVB radiation. Their construction is designed to provide maximum mechanical resistance, high comfort of use, and full compatibility with protective equipment and communication systems.
Visors made of durable polycarbonate, anti-fog protection
Visors are made of 2.4 mm thick polycarbonate in Clear, Yellow, and Smoke Gray colours, providing visible light transmission of 90%, 85%, and 15%, and 100% protection against UVA/UVB radiation. The ClearZone FlowCoat technology protects the visor from scratches on the outside and fogging on the inside. Thanks to ESS Optics technology, image distortion is eliminated, allowing for natural perception of the surroundings and full sharpness of vision. The DedBolt system allows quick visor replacement without tools, enabling adjustment to current lighting conditions.
Flexible frames, Tri-Tech Fit technology
Frames made of lightweight and flexible composite, resistant to bending and damage. Tri-Tech Fit technology ensures even pressure distribution, eliminating pressure points, significantly improving comfort during prolonged wear. Non-slip finish on the inner part of the temples stabilises the glasses on the head even during intense movement. Additionally, this model features a comfortable nosepiece with a composite-silicone finish and an elastic strap to prevent accidental loss of the glasses.
ESS Crossbow 3LS is part of the modular Cross-Series system, allowing quick visor changes and use of compatible frames and accessories. The design allows for the installation of ultra-thin Suppressor frames, designed specifically for use with hearing protectors and communication systems.

I recommend these glasses – I have been using them intensely for over a year. They don't cause any pressure, and changing the lenses is easy and practical. Scratches do appear, but it's hard to expect it to be completely different. The anti-fog works well only with the proper cloth; without it, the glasses may fog up. I have already replaced the nose pad because the silicone wore out. Overall, I recommend them, though I believe the price should be at least 150-200 PLN lower.
