I used them for over two years, and I can honestly recommend them. Now I bought the whole set; previously, I only had the tinted lens. The price is high, but you have to pay for comfort and safety.
ESS Crossbow tactical glasses - 3LS
Ballistic Glasses Crossbow from the Cross-Series line. Equipped with scratch-resistant visors with ballistic properties that 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 user comfort, and full compatibility with protective equipment and communication systems.
Visors made from durable polycarbonate, anti-fog protection
Visors are made of 2.4 mm thick polycarbonate in Clear, Yellow, and Smoke Gray colors, which provide visible light transmission levels of 90%, 85%, and 15%, respectively, along with 100% protection against UVA/UVB radiation. ClearZone FlowCoat technology protects the visor from scratches on the outside and fogging on the inside. Thanks to ESS Optic technology, image distortion is eliminated, allowing for natural perception of the surroundings and full vision clarity. The DedBolt system allows for quick visor replacement without tools, enabling adaptation 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 extended wear. Anti-slip finish on the inner part of the temples stabilizes the glasses on the head even during intense movement. Additionally, this model is equipped with a comfortable nosepiece with composite-silicone finish and an elastic strap that prevents accidental loss of the glasses.
ESS Crossbow 3LS is part of the modular Cross-Series system that allows for rapid visor replacement and usage with compatible frames and accessories. The design supports ultra-thin Suppressor frames, specifically designed for use with hearing protectors and communication systems.

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