Vortex has officially announced its entrance into the sporting eyewear world. As an optics company, this really shouldn’t come as a surprise as every optic company out there has its own specific take on one of the most important pieces of safety equipment. The new Vortex Eyewear lineup starts with two different variants including the Banshee, and Jackal models. Of course, these lenses will be ANSI Z87.1 certified, and will also feature anti-reflective and UV protective properties. As with anything and everything Vortex, these are going to be affordable, and also come with Vortex’s popular “no questions asked VIP Warranty.”

Fresh New Vortex Eyewear: Jackal and Banshee Models Launched!

Barneveld, Wisconsin – Vortex® performance sunglasses are here to bridge the gap between hyper-tactical eyewear and uncomfortable safety glasses, delivering UV and ballistic-rated protection, comfort, versatility, and casual style.

“We’ve always been in the business of helping our customers see the world better, and now we’re taking that vision to a whole new level,” said Joe Hamilton Vortex® CEO. “This new eyewear category embodies the same commitment to quality, affordability, and customer satisfaction that has made us an industry leader in sport optics. And, backed by our legendary VIP® Warranty, we guarantee to protect your eyewear, for life.

In opposition to some of the more “tactical” looking shooting glasses on the market, the Vortex Jackal and Banshee both feature a more general outdoorsman look and would probably go with just about any outdoor activity you can get yourself into. The Vortex Jackal (pictured above) and Banshee (pictured below) will both retail for an MSRP of $179.99. For that price, you’re getting UV Protection, a polarized smudge-resistant and anti-scratch lens, and non-slip slim temples for more comfortable use with over-the-ear hearing protection.
