ESS balistic glasses

ESS - Ballistic Shooting and Tactical Glasses

The company Eye Safety Systems (ESS) is the main supplier of ballistic glasses for the U.S. Armed Forces, military units, and other uniformed services such as police, fire departments, and even medical services in over 100 countries worldwide.

ESS has made it their primary goal to create high-quality products that provide the highest possible level of eye protection. Their products are tailored to the specialized needs of their clients and comply with NATO standards. They are listed on the NATO Logistics Stock Exchange (NLSE) - NAMSA.

ESS ballistic glasses come with a two-year warranty against manufacturing defects and quality workmanship. They are manufactured in USA factories compliant with the ISO 9001 quality management system certification. The company's motto is: Built for Battle. Tough for Life.

Ballistic Protection of ESS Glasses

Eye protection described as "ballistic" must have a visor that meets strict standards and pass much more demanding resistance tests than regular shooting glasses. Ballistic glasses demonstrate not only increased durability of the visors themselves but also their secure mounting in the frame.

As research based on incidents in the U.S. Army indicates, up to 10% of injuries are eye-related. Therefore, the U.S. military chose ESS for providing the highest level of safety for the user.

ESS Ballistic Glasses Provide Uncompromising Protection

ESS glasses exceed the ANSI Z87.1 test for high-velocity impact protection, where a quarter-inch steel ball is fired at seven angles from three different heights. During the test, there must be no contact of the lens with the eye or fragmentation.

They also exceed the requirements for protection against high-mass impacts. Under the ANSI Z87.1 standard, the visor is struck by a 500-gram spike dropped from a height of 130 cm. During the impact, no part of the frame or visor may fragment.

The military ballistic standards met by ESS ballistic glasses specify the ability to withstand more than six times the kinetic energy level commonly used in ANSI Z87.1 protective tests. This ensures their products provide uncompromising protection.
