Ops Core’s new Step-In Visor offers an innovative solution for eye protection. The Step-In Visor offers eye protection that is easily connected to a bump or ballistic Ops Core helmet having your personal protective equipment readily available in time of need. The Step-In Visor is available in Black, Tan, Foliage Green and Urban Gray and has an MSRP of $275.

They say necessity is the mother of invention. I’m inclined to agree. With manual labor, especially mechanically or ballistically based manual labor requiring eye protection, the invention of safety glasses and goggles was a matter of time. For a while it was good.

Ok, let’s take a brief pause from all the breaking news, press releases and technical specifications. Last week I stumbled across BenShot, a small Wisconsin business making unique tumblers and rocks glasses for the discriminating drinker. Each one has been “shot” with a rifle round that is fused and melted into the side of the glass. The result is an affordable, useful and attractive vessel for transporting your spirits from the tabletop to your mouth.

I’ve been there and done that. In a rush to get through a limited range session with plenty to do, I simply did not put on eye protection for a new gun with new ammo. While the worst that happened was a hang-fire, it certainly reminded me of my own idiocy.

Sportviz has introduced a new model to their portfolio; the XTS Sun Core. The model is ideal for all types of shooting providing eye protection, and also adding the ability to use their patented prescription inserts (what they are calling “Inzerts”).

New from Oakley Standard Issue (SI) is the limited-edition SI Fuel Cell Ultrablend shooting glasses . Each pair of glasses is airbrushed by hand with two different patterns and three different Cerakote colors giving each pair a unique camouflage pattern.

If you are planning a vacation to a nice region of Afghanistan courtesy of Uncle Sam, you might want to think about protecting your vision. The Revision Sawfly eyeglasses might be just what you need.
