When I started Military Security work, safety glasses were almost non-existent. Later in my Law Enforcement years, they were often of dubious quality compared to today’s standards but the idea of one set that was useful and included lenses to wear indoors and outdoors hadn’t become a “thing” yet. Today, thankfully we have Bolle Safety […]

Oakley SI Flak 2.0 – Thin Blue Line edition: The right shades for an officer on duty or a great range day
When it comes to the eye protection for the range, I tend to be extraordinarily picky. No, it’s not just because I have a weird shaped head and only a precious few sunglasses designs can both look decent and stay affixed to my dome (but I’ll admit that’s part of it). It’s also because I […]

Savage Optics: See the world through savage eyes
For a long time, I hated having glasses and especially sunglasses on my face. It wasn’t that glasses are uncomfortable; rather it was having something clouding my vision. Having something limiting my sight irked me, even if they were designed to overcome nearsightedness. This started to change when I got my first pair of Oakley […]
Gatorz Eyewear Blackout ANSI Z87+ rated Magnums, Marine Corps Approved
I was in desperate need of another pair of “dark eye pro” i.e. sunglasses when a friend of mine recommended the Gatorz Magnums. I’ve worn Oakley Ballistic M Frames for years which are great sunglasses and allow me to switch to clear lenses for certain night work. I unwrapped the Gatorz and immediately discovered a […]
Gatorz Clear Eyewear | Clear Lens During Night Operations
Operations in low visibility environments can be sketchy at best especially in maritime situations. You rely solely on your navigation equipment, NVG’s (if you have them), boat crew members and your knowledge of driving a RHIB. So how do Clear Lens Gatorz Wraptor’s come into play? Let’s say your battery’s in your NVG’s go out […]

Elite Performance Gatorz Sunglasses
Normally I would go into lengthy detail about an item that I would talk about in the Loadout Room. The Gatorz sunglasses with polarized lens are probably the best sunglasses that I have owned in my 47 years in existence. During my 14 years as a Navy SEAL, I really only wore Oakley sunglasses, but […]
