Shooting glasses are a vital accessory that should be in everyone's bag if you are someone who engages in shooting activities, whether you are practicing tactical training or just a casual range goer.
This type of eyewear provide eye protection, enhanced visual clarity, and improved accuracy. When it comes to shooting glasses - visual clarity and target identification are of utmost importance. A clear line of sight can mean the difference between a hit and a missed shot. The best tactical eyewear on the market not only protects your eyes from debris but also enhances your visual clarity and optical contrast for a more accurate shot and faster target acquisition both on and off the range.
In this article, we'll explore the best shooting glasses for 2024 and break down the factors to consider when choosing the right pair.
Importance Of Visual Clarity When Shooting
Visual clarity is critical when it comes to shooting, whether in hunting, tactical operations, or day to day. A clear sight picture helps you aim accurately, identify targets quickly, and respond appropriately to changing circumstances. Shooting glasses featuring lenses by ZEISS feature precision lenses with up to 70% greater clarity to help you achieve better sight picture, and offer eye protection against debris, UV rays, and other hazards.
Factors To Consider When Choosing Shooting Glasses
When shopping for shooting glasses or tactical eyewear, several factors need to be considered. The most important factors include the following:
-
Lens color and tint
Lens color and tint of your shooting glasses affect how well you can see in different lighting conditions. Clear lenses are ideal for indoor shooting ranges, while our lenses by ZEISS utilize groundbreaking polarization technology to provide up to 80% greater visual contrast for rapid target acquisition and clarity in low-light settings, without dimming electronic screens & illuminated reticles, or creating the common 'rainbow blur' when looking through glass.
-
Lens material and durability
Shooting glasses should be made of durable materials that can withstand the rigors of shooting activities. Our lenses by ZEISS feature proprietary premium lens materials and coatings to provide high impact resistance, anti-fog capabilities and ultra-durable scratch resistance.
-
Frame design and fit
Shooting glasses should fit comfortably and securely on your face. Being at the range or shooting sports can get sweaty, you could be moving around a lot, and that being said your shooting glasses should be secure. They should not interfere with your aim or your field of vision. Frames should be lightweight using composite materials, such as TR90, and the design should allow for optimal ventilation to prevent fogging.
-
Additional Features of Shooting Glasses
Anti-fog coating, scratch resistance, and UV protection are additional features that should be considered when choosing shooting glasses. These features enhance the performance and durability of shooting glasses.
