Gargoyles knows all--the balance between good looks and technology goes beyond every level of expectation. The Ballistic Defense system not only provides 5 to 6 times greater impact-resistance, it has the capability of stopping a .22 caliber bullet at 20 feet--which exceeds the MIL-STD 622 ballistic test. The lenses are also coated with a NASA derived scratch-resistant and anti-fog coating which offers 30% more protection than conventional treatments.
Product Description
In 1979, Dennis Burns, founder of GARGOYLES, revolutionized an entire industry with the invention of the Toric lens. Dennis noticed that flat sunglass lenses left the eyes more exposed to the elements and contemporary curved lenses were causing visual distortion and stress on the eyes. This innovation became the basis of a brand and an industry.
His solution was the Toric Curve Lens. A shape that allowed light to transmit directly to the eye. No refraction, no distortion. By the early 80's, the Toric lens became the technology foundation for the Gargoyles Performance Eyewear collection. Precision-molded and hand-finished, the design provided 210° of wraparound protection.
