Ballistic goggles are, at first glance, a fairly simple product. Most people are only looking for protection for their eyes. Some even choose goggles with pink, amber, or smoky lenses for better contrast while aiming at a static range. Other than that, most manufacturers are content with making ANSI-rated glasses in various stylistic frames so that shooters can look stylish at the range. Revision Military is committed to creating the best version of ballistic goggles that not only protect the eyes but also reduce fatigue and optimize their performance in various conditions. Revision Military's new I-Vis lens design specifically does just that. Today, we'll explain how it works and share our experiences with these innovative ballistic goggles.
Revision Military's new ballistic goggles with I-Vis vision-enhancing technology
Revision's goal in developing the new I-Vis lens technology was to provide operators with the ability to better adapt to changing battlefield situations and different locations around the world while maintaining protection from dust and impact. While a simple solution to improve contrast in different shooting situations is to use amber or pink lenses, these solutions make your brain and eyes work harder to compensate for the inaccuracies you see through these types of lenses. When looking through one of these types of lenses, your brain automatically tries to recolor your surroundings to remove color from the lens, thereby minimizing any benefits you get from the lens over time and making it harder to return to normal vision without glasses.
I-Vis technology uses artificial intelligence to determine the best possible color and level of lens darkening based on environmental conditions. The company has gathered a lot of data, using many photos and even satellite images, to provide users with lenses that maintain color neutrality with improved color depth. This significantly reduces eye and brain strain and improves visual perception, reaction time, and sense of depth, which helps the fighter improve their performance on the battlefield.
Revision Military offers six different lens color options for its Stingerhawk goggles:
1. ALTO is suited for dry, high-altitude conditions where gray, red-brown, and blue tints, such as those prevalent in northern Afghanistan, predominate;
2. AROS is modeled for typical desert conditions with brown, yellow-brown tones, slight terrain changes, low rocks, shrubs, and minimalistic vegetation;
3. CANO is modeled for dense, lush foliage including trees, rocky areas, and limited canopy visibility to the sky;
4. CLARA is designed for use in regions of Northern Europe, Scandinavia, the Baltics, and Poland. Highlights color clarity and contrast in areas of white, gray, and blue found in snow-covered forested areas, rocky areas, and mountains;
5. UMBRA is well suited for use in the same terrain as Clara. Highlights color contrast in gloomy, snowy locations;
6. VERSO is a technically sophisticated lens designed for use in all conditions and situations.
The lens significantly helps the user focus more easily through the judicious use of modern technology and precise visual science. Even hunters can enhance their abilities with these lenses because many prey species are often camouflaged in their home environment, making subtle differences in color and texture more important for a successful hunt.
Be on trend
Revision Military is an American manufacturer of ballistic eyewear. It first introduced its new SlingShot ballistic sunglasses to the public at the Shot Show in Las Vegas in late January 2024 and at EnforceTac in Nuremberg in late February.
The open-top mandrel of the SlingShot provides good ventilation, especially concerning fogging properties, while visibility remains unrestricted. At the same time, the fit can be adjusted over a wide range. It is possible to quickly change the lenses, both to replace defective ones and to adapt their color to the ambient light.
The brace design is perfectly compatible with any head-mounted equipment. It provides optimal compatibility with communication and performance in the field, keeping you comfortable all day long. The adjustable nose bridge also provides an optimal fit.
The SlingShot goggles feature the innovative I-Vis lens technology we wrote about above. In addition, the SlingShot I-Vis lenses feature Revision's OcuMax anti-fog and scratch protection coating.
Take your protection to the next state-of-the-art level and be on trend with Revision SlingShot ballistic goggles with Umbra lens for winter locations or Cano lens for forest conditions. You can also conveniently order a set of these ballistic goggles with three or two pairs of interchangeable lenses in different colors to match your environment.
