Everyone should agree that eye protection is the most important aspect when it comes to practicing sports such as cycling, working in a factory at the operator's station or anywhere where there is a lot of dust. Nowadays, fortunately, we are comfortable when it comes to selecting individual eye protection, and even lower price ranges offered by manufacturers offer glasses that meet a number of ballistic approvals. These include Pyramex glasses.
The first eye protection products were created for pilots of the first airplanes. When flying open-cabin biplanes, the pilot was exposed not only to debris flying in the air during air battles, but also to eye-irritating fumes emanating from the aircraft engine, making observation or effective aiming difficult or even impossible. The first goggles were made of glass or later - celluloid. Both of these solutions have been replaced by newer production techniques, and several decades ago they seemed to provide sufficient protection, although the glass was fragile and could do more harm than good. The celluloid, as it turned out during long-term use, turned yellow from excess sunlight, disturbing the pilot's perception.
Fortunately, today, at low cost, we are able to equip ourselves with good quality eye protection that meets American ANSI and European EN approvals. They most often involve subjecting the material from which they are made to a series of activities aimed at checking the strength of a metal object hitting the viewfinder, resistance to ignition, and resistance to compression and cracking. It is no different with Pyramex glasses. This is an American eye protection company that places its products in the lower price range so that everyone has access to basic eye protection. Importantly, basic or cheaper does not always mean worse. These glasses are made of modern polycarbonate, which perfectly protects the eyes against ricochet from a direct hit of a plastic ball - as is often the case during airsoft games. Additionally, transparent visors do not disturb the colors of the surroundings, giving a great overview of the situation, which is also important for cyclists who should use eye protection against insects or other threats appearing during the ride. These glasses, even though they are colorless, also protect the user against basic ultraviolet radiation types A, B and C by 99% - an important thing if we spend a lot of time outdoors, exposed to the scorching sun, especially during holidays, but it is worth using such glasses. protection also in winter. An additional advantage of clear Pyramex glasses are comfortable temples, most often with rubber tips, which do not cause pressure and ensure comfort even during long-term use, after several hours. This is also important when wearing headphones, for example at the shooting range.
The American manufacturer's offer also includes goggles. The difference is that the goggles fit perfectly to the face, and they have flexible sponges around the visors, which further improves your comfort. Depending on the model, goggles have thicker lenses and provide a greater degree of eye protection than glasses, but in situations of increased effort they may fog up faster. We recommend a wide range of anti-fog products to deal with this problem, because in certain conditions even glasses can fog up, making it difficult for you to see.
To sum up, we would like to repeat once again that glasses are the most basic protection you should use when practicing airsoft. We are also aware that our products should reach the widest possible group of users, which is why every day we try to supplement our offer with new products, not only the most expensive ones, but also the cheapest ones - it must be remembered that Pyrmex glasses have increased scratch resistance. , but they are not indestructible - so they were created for harder work, where the risk of damage to them is included in the price, so that they can be replaced without much remorse or harm to our wallet. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the offer of the Militaria.pl store
