The price is quite high, but the workmanship is very solid. The additional sunglasses lenses included in the set are a big plus. The case and strap are also nice extras. I decided to buy them because of the ability to mount corrective lenses—you just need to purchase frames separately. Eye protection is the most important thing though.

In my opinion, these are the best glasses I have used. I have tested different options, but these turned out to be the ideal choice. What I appreciate most is the polarization – I spend a lot of time driving, and they work great both for daily use and during military events. I highly recommend them.

ESS ICE 3LS tactical glasses are an excellent product. Highly recommended!
-
These glasses are fantastic. I was looking for a model for a large head and it seems to me that these are currently the widest ballistic glasses available. The lack of an upper frame doesn’t bother me at all—in fact, it’s a plus, as nothing limits the field of vision. The materials used are of high quality. Unfortunately, the included case could be better, but at least it is included. I especially recommend them to people with larger heads who prefer wider glasses.

Tested the glasses in Afghanistan. It's just a pity that the spare parts are expensive...
-
The lenses are of very good quality, they effectively protect the eyes from light and provide good visibility even at dusk. However, in my opinion, the frames are a bit too delicate for the price. Next time, I’ll choose the Crossbow or Crosshair model.
-
The glasses are very well made, and their quality is unquestionable. The downside is the lack of curvature in the temples, which can cause the glasses to slide off the nose, but the set includes a strap that stabilizes them.
-
A proven brand, these are my second pair of glasses from this manufacturer (I previously had a different model). The lack of a frame increases the field of vision, which turned out to be very useful. I recommend buying them.
