Although there are cheaper glasses with a certificate on the market, I chose the ESS Crossbow because of their modularity. By being able to choose between two frame colours (black and tan) and two types of lenses, you can assemble a set suitable for virtually any conditions. Additionally, you can spread the purchase of components over time, so you don’t have to spend the full amount at once, and if one part gets damaged, it doesn’t mean the whole product becomes useless.
Viewfinder ESS Crossbow Hi-Def Yellow
Replacement ballistic visor Crossbow Hi-Def Yellow is a high-quality protective accessory that increases contrast and is compatible with all models of Cross-Series glasses, including Crossbow, Suppressor, and Crosshair. The set also includes a convenient, interchangeable nosepiece. All visors in the Crossbow series provide 100% protection against UVA/UVB radiation, and their durability meets the ANSI Z87.1+ standard. Additionally, the visor has successfully passed the MIL-PRF-31013 ballistic tests with a .15 calibre.
durable visor
The visor is made from durable polycarbonate with a thickness of 2.4 mm, ensuring high resistance to damage and deformation. The ESSOPTICS technology eliminates all optical distortions and provides full protection against UVA and UVB radiation. Thanks to the ClearZone FlowCoat technology, the visor becomes resistant to scratches and fogging, significantly enhancing user comfort. Visible light transmission at the level of 85% ensures excellent visibility in various lighting conditions, and first-class optics provide precise and clear vision.
protective standards and certifications
The model meets the high F class durability, providing protection against mechanical damage resulting from direct impact (an object with a diameter of 6 mm and a weight of 0.86 g, moving at a speed of up to 45 m/s). Additionally, the visor meets the requirements of standards:
- ANSI Z87.1 - 2010
- MIL SPEC MIL-PRF-31013 (Clause 3.5.1.1)
- EN 166:2001, EN 170, and EN 172
- CE 2-2.1 FT K N
- US Federal OSHA

ESS Optics is a standard used in visors that prevents image distortion and provides 100% UVA and UVB protection.
EN166 is a European standard for optical requirements and mechanical protection for glasses and goggles. Optical requirements include light transmission and diffusion, refractive properties, heat and UV resistance, corrosion and ignition. Mechanical protection is the resistance to object impact, within which there are 4 levels designated by the letters S, F, B and A, where S is the least protection and A is the highest.
EN172 European standard specifying markings and transmittance and corresponding test methods for sunscreens that protect against solar glare.
Z87.1 standard developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for the durability of eye protectors. The standard includes two types of tests (3 tests) for the impact resistance of the lens and the stability of its seating in the frame: resistance to High Mass and High Velocity objects.
EN170 standard specifies protection levels and transmittance requirements for UV protection filters. Protective glasses complying with this standard provide the necessary protection against excessive ultraviolet radiation, which can lead to loss of visual clarity and deterioration of vision.
MIL-PRF-31013 is an American military standard that covers the requirements for protective glasses that provide ballistic eye protection. The standard specifies the glasses' ability to withstand the impact of a .15-inch (3.8-mm) steel bullet weighing 0.376 grams at 200 m/s.
