I don't see the need for the design gap in- between the arms, can snag on the helmet. Excellent when running I found the glasses did what it said on the label, they stay on your face, no sweat drops inside the lens, no steaming up when going in from outside to inside. When on the range I found the glasses helped me with my shoot- ing again they did what it said on label. Kept them in my battle vest for the week and found them very robust. 9/10 our rEViEWEr sgt annE kElly, airCraft inspECtor, air Corps HQ says… Comfortable, snug fitting glasses. Excellent for training, especially cycling as they provide full peripheral vision and don't seem to adjust the light intensity. As they remain firm on your face throughout wear, it seems like you are not wearing any glasses at all. Although I would recommend fitting them on before purchase, as they are quite large fitting, so to get the full benefit of the wrap around effect they must be a snug fit. 9/10 tpr technology: This material increases its 'GRIP' as it becomes moist or warm to keep the glasses on your face. lens technology: Tapered lens to eliminate refraction. Lenses block 99.9% of UVA/UVB/UVC rays. Fog resistant and scratch resistant lenses.
