Eyewear specialist Oakley revealed the shades to international
militaries from around the world at last month’s DSEI (Defence and Security
Equipment International exhibition) event in London.
If you need to protect your eyes from bright light AND things
flying around in combat – while looking cool doing it - then these could be the
shades for you.
The ballistic shades are made by Oakley Standard Issue, a
division of the company that focuses on the military and law enforcement.
Fit for the nation’s top warriors, the Det Cord is listed on the
Special Operations Eyewear Program.
These shades are fully loaded. They meet the impact
fragmentation military standard of MIL-PRF-32432 – that’s a hefty amount of
impact resistance.
The lenses are built with Oakley’s Prizm technology. They block
100 percent of UVA and UVB. And they also protect against harmful blue light up
to 400nm wavelength.
Prizm also provides enhanced contrast and helps to reduce eye
fatigue. Operators rave about Prizm enabling faster target acquisition.
The shades have got anti-fog inner coating and there’s a
rubberized unobtanium nosepiece to ensure a secure fit so that they don’t slide
around on your nose while moving around. The ear stems are also
compatible with communications tech.
The SI Ballistic Det Cord comes in a matte black frame with a
scratch-resistant outer coating and gray lens. The shades are priced at $175
