Finally, ESS has an answer to laser-related injuries with their Laser Protective Lens at ADS... "Due to the proliferation of lasers on today’s battlefield and in training at home, laser injuries are becoming more and more prevalent. As a result, each branch of service has outlined their own Laser Safety Program and each program calls for a certain degree of laser protective lens (LPL).

The ESS LPL protects the user from a broad spectrum of laser threats that are commonly found in combat and training environments.  This laser protection is in addition to the current ballistic capability found in all ESS products.  LPLs are created by impregnating dyes into ESS’ high-grade polycarbonate during the injection molding process. Each dye absorbs a specific light frequency, producing a colored lens capable of blocking the concentrated light emitted from laser devices at the specified nanometer wavelength(s) and optical density (OD).

Benefits and Features:

• Optical quality, impact protection, anti-scratch and/or anti-fog performance.
• Built from extra-thick, 2.4mm high-impact polycarbonate.
• ESSOPTICS™ for distortion-free clarity.
• 100% UVA/UVB protection.
• Crossbow’s DedBolt™ Lens Lock system allows for rapid lens interchange.
• LPL’s are restricted export items subject to ITAR.
