Sunglasses are an essential piece of law enforcement equipment in warm weather. Tactical eyewear doesn't just protect your eyes from the bright sun, it also guards against a wide variety of other hazards. At CopsPlus, we carry a range of styles from some of the most famous names in tactical eyewear, including 511 Tactical, Wiley X, Bolle and ESS.
When you rely on your powers of observation to detect criminals, having the sun in your eyes can really reduce your effectiveness. Polarized sunglasses cut out glare, making it easier to see clearly in bright conditions. They also block harmful ultraviolet rays, protecting long-term eye health and reducing the risk of serious conditions such as cataracts and macular degeneration. Some lenses are also designed to reduce transmission of blue light, which helps to reduce eye fatigue. Different colored lenses have different effects on your vision. Clear lenses provide the most light transmission and preserve color fidelity, while yellow and amber lenses enhance contrast. Many lens designs also feature hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings to maintain visibility, as well as armored surfaces that prevent scratching. Some frames support interchangeable lenses, allowing you to switch them out as needed.
Tactical eyewear can protect against more hazards than just the sunshine. Many styles are also built for impact protection, with ultra-durable polycarbonate lenses and lightweight but tough frames. Ballistic protection specifications such as STANAG 2920 demonstrate the eyewear's ballistic resistance, protecting the eyes from flying fragments. These tactical styles also often feature foam or rubber face shields that fit close against the skin in order to shut out dust and debris. Ventilated eyeshields maintain airflow to promote comfort and prevent excessive perspiration buildup, as well as helping to keep the lenses fog-free.
