This is my first model of glasses from this brand. The price may be high, but it’s important to remember that they protect the most important human sense. The quality is high, as evidenced by their use in the U.S. military.
ESS Crossblade One tactical glasses - Clear
Tactical glasses belonging to the Cross-Series line. Equipped with scratch-resistant and easy-to-replace ballistic visors, which provide a distortion-free view across the entire field of vision. The lenses guarantee full protection against UVA and UVB radiation. The specially designed construction combines a high level of ballistic protection with optimal comfort during prolonged use. Thanks to the modular design, the glasses can be easily customized to individual needs and conditions.
visors made from durable polycarbonate, DedBolt snap system
Visors made from 2.4 mm thick polycarbonate in Clear color provide 90% visible light transmission and full protection against UVA/UVB radiation. ClearZone FlowCoat technology protects the front side of the visor from scratches and the interior from fogging. ESS Optic technology eliminates image distortion across the entire surface of the visor, allowing for a natural perception of the environment and full image sharpness. The DedBolt system allows for quick visor replacement without the need for tools, allowing easy adaptation to the current lighting conditions. Compatibility with Cross-Series products enables visor exchange with others from this series. Included clear lenses can be swapped for tinted visors, for example. There is also an option to purchase and replace the visor and nosepiece with the Naro version to adapt the Crossblade system to the user's face shape.
flexible frames, Tri-Tech Fit technology
Flexible frames are created using Tri-Tech Fit technology, which evenly distributes pressure and eliminates pressure points during wear. This ensures the glasses fit different face shapes excellently, maintaining a high level of comfort even during prolonged use. Users with vision impairments can use U-RX or UPLC Rx corrective inserts. Their installation requires nosepieces compatible with Crossblade U-Rx and Crossblade UPLC Rx.

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.
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.
MIL-PRF-32432 is an American military standard for glasses and goggles, including corrective glasses. According to this standard, a set of glasses should include spare lenses, a case, an instruction manual, a cleaning cloth and a strap, depending on the type of set. Goggles must also have a protective case in the set. Glasses and goggles must be compatible with a corrective insert. The standard specifies the goggles' ability to withstand impact from a .15-inch (3.8 mm) steel bullet weighing 0.376 grams at 200 m/s. In the case of goggles, the impact resistance of a .22-caliber bullet fired at a velocity of approximately 170 m/s.
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.
