I bought them and was worried they might be too dark for airsoft skirmishes, but I wasn't disappointed. For me, they darken perfectly. I even see better through them than through clear ones, especially in snowy skirmishes. Clear without distortion, and the factory antifog coating works for a while. However, I recommend getting McNett Op Drops antifog and you'll have almost zero fogging.
ESS Crossbow Visor Smoke Gray
Tinted interchangeable ballistic visor Crossbow Clear. Fits all eyewear in the Cross-Series product line: Crossbow, Suppressor, and Crosshair. The visor provides 100% protection against UVA/UVB radiation, and its durability meets the ANSI Z87.1+ standard. Additionally, the visor has successfully passed MIL-PRF-31013 ballistic tests with a .15 caliber.

The use of ClearZone FlowCoat technology protects the outside of the visor from scratching and the inside from fogging.
EN166 is a European standard for optical requirements and mechanical protection for glasses and goggles. Optical requirements include light transmission and diffusion, refractive properties, heat and UV resistance, corrosion and ignition. Mechanical protection is the resistance to object impact, within which there are 4 levels designated by the letters S, F, B and A, where S is the least protection and A is the highest.
EN172 European standard specifying markings and transmittance and corresponding test methods for sunscreens that protect against solar glare.
Z87.1 standard developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for the durability of eye protectors. The standard includes two types of tests (3 tests) for the impact resistance of the lens and the stability of its seating in the frame: resistance to High Mass and High Velocity objects.
EN170 standard specifies protection levels and transmittance requirements for UV protection filters. Protective glasses complying with this standard provide the necessary protection against excessive ultraviolet radiation, which can lead to loss of visual clarity and deterioration of vision.
MIL-PRF-31013 is an American military standard that covers the requirements for protective glasses that provide ballistic eye protection. The standard specifies the glasses' ability to withstand the impact of a .15-inch (3.8-mm) steel bullet weighing 0.376 grams at 200 m/s.

Even though there is no polarization - the visibility is very good, the image is clear, without distortion - and that's what matters. A great solution from this brand because you don't have to buy several pairs of glasses - just invest in the lens. I recommend!

I have been using it for years and sincerely recommend it, it has never let me down. I had to buy a new visor because the previous one was already worn out, so I bought another one, exactly the same. I also recommend, of course, shopping at militaria.pl

After many years of using this model and accumulating scratches here and there, it was time to change the visor to a new one and I can enjoy it for another few years :) The crossbow profiling at the temple secures the eyes very well. Nothing has ever entered from the side, even though it might have happened a few times. Other visor models have not appealed to me for almost 10 years.

It protects well, covers the eye socket.

I recommend. I bought a second frame as a spare. Packaging and shipment 5+.

I have been using ESS Crossbow glasses for several years and this is already my second visor. I stick with this version of the glasses, which, along with the gasket, meets my expectations. Very good eye protection (I wear contact lenses) in windy days, both on the route and every day.
-
Perfect for open shooting ranges on sunny days. They protect the eyes and their surroundings well.
