Essex Junction, VT, USA – Revision Military, the world leader in protective soldier solutions, introduces the Sawfly Photochromic Eyewear System. Featuring Revision’s rapid light-changing technology, first introduced in its Hellfly
Ballistic Sunglasses, the ballistic photo-chromic Sawfly lens
automatically darkens to a sunglass tint when exposed to sunlight and
returns to its clear state in the absence of UV rays, providing a
tactical edge in rapidly changing environments.
“Revision’s photo-chromic lens technology not only eliminates the need
to switch lenses when transitioning between the indoors and outside,
but also automatically adjusts to compensate for varying outdoor light
levels allowing the end user to focus on his mission, not his eye-pro,”
commented Jonathan Blanshay, CEO of Revision. Revision’s Photo-chromic
Sawfly lens takes only 60 seconds to change from its darkest state to
almost clear, while most competitors’ lenses take more than twice as
long to do the same. From the clear state to a light-grey lens tint
capable of blocking sun glare, it takes only 20 seconds. “For military
and tactical operators, faster photo-chromic lens change means enhanced
visual performance when it’s most needed - in dynamic environments.”
True to the entire Sawfly line, the new Sawfly Photochromic Eyewear
System exceeds ANSI Z87.1-2010 and U.S. military ballistic impact
requirements for spectacles (MIL-PRF-31013 clause 3.5.1.1) while
providing flawless optics and 100% UV protection. The Revision Sawfly
Photochromic Basic Kit retails for $149.99 and the lens is
interchangeable across the entire Sawfly line. The Photochromic system
is prescription ready with Revision’s optional Rx Carrier;
it’s also available in three sizes to ensure fit, comfort and optical
performance.
The system will be available for purchase in March 2012.
