Product Details & Specs

Everything you need to know about your glasses, all in one place. From exact sizing and lens technology to frame specifications, what’s included in your order, and shipping or prescription info—just expand each section below to explore the details.

DEFENDERS

When we were asked to develop a ballistic pair of good looking and low profile glasses, we went to work. During this process we came to find out many other units had been looking for new shades with the same concept; Ballistic glasses that don't look like your typical ballistic glasses.

More often than not, guys go to work with glasses that look good, but offer no ballistic protection. Using Zeiss Polar Impacto lenses, we’re able to offer the best optical clarity, superior impact resistance and excellent scratch resistance due to our premium hard-coated lenses.

The Defender (EBO) is the common ground between versatility and durability. Built to look good while handling stress from the most demanding environments and scenarios on earth.

DETAILS

ENHANCED BALLISTIC OPTIC - Exceeding Z87+ MILSPECISO/CD 12312-1AN/NZS 1067ANSI Z80.3standards

Exceeding MIL-PRF-32432(GL) Ballistic Fragmentation - Class 1 standards (ballistic fragmentation impact standards).

Exceeding ANSI Z87.1-2003/2010 (High mass & high-velocity impact requirements)

FRAME

 

ENHANCED BALLISTIC OPTIC - Grilamid TR-90 Frame

Nylon-polymer injected frames with a battle-tested blend, able to withstand the most extreme adventures thrown at it. Tough, crack-resistant, lightweight as well as hypo-allergenic refuting in one of the most durable frames on the market. 

ENHANCED BALLISTIC OPTICS TECHNOLOGY (EBO) 

Using Zeiss Impacto lenses, we’re able to offer the best optical clarity, superior impact resistance and excellent scratch resistance due to our premium hard-coated lenses. Allowing premium visual acuity needed in any situation. 

 

POLARIZED LENS TECHNOLOGY - Polarized Polycarbonate (PC) Zeiss lenses

Glare caused by concentrated light reflecting off of various surfaces like snow, ice, and water. Reducing your ability to see clearly. Savage Optics filter out glare and transmit only the light you need, allowing the visual acuity needed in any situation. 

PREMIUM ANTI-REFLECTIVE

The anti-reflective coating provides a sharper vision which prevents sunlight and glare from reflecting into your eyes from the back surface of the lens when the sun is behind you.

ANTI-FOG

Increasing the lenses resistance to fog up in moist environments or with heavy physical effort, supporting your vision and increasing your performance.

TRIPEL / RIPEL

Lens treatment makes water and perspiration roll off the surface, rather than creating a film. The lens stays clean and free of the distortion that would otherwise be caused by the water. The lenses will also withstand fingerprints and stains, which make them stay clean much longer than ordinary lenses.

Customer photo review of Defender (EBOs)

I was looking for a reliable pair of safety glasses that were durable, fog resistant, stylish and able to fit on my big ass head. The Defender EBO’s have hit that mark! As I stated above I got a big ass head and most sunglasses are make me look rather ridiculous like if I was a chicken legged fella in skinny jeans, that dog just won’t hunt. These sunglasses have been great definitely tough because I’ve already dropped them a few times from my Chevy to gravel covered terrain and not a scratch, and live up to the claims of anti-fog, what’s also nice is that the tint isn’t too dark and still handles the bright and shiny day, which is a definite plus when you’re moving around to shops, and equipment in the field. All and all definitely the best pair of safety rated sunglasses I’ve ever owned, I wish I had them in Afghanistan 2010ish.

Customer photo review of Defender (EBOs)

They fit great and give me good versatility for day and night work

Defender (EBOs)

Great color with the lenses, great quality on the frame lenses, I don’t enjoy the size and shape of the frames for Civ wear. But the size and shape is great at the range, and comfortable with over the ear protection

Defender (EBOs)

My initial order was delayed. So in return they sent me another pair free of charge. They didn’t have to do that but they went above and beyond. And the glasses themselves are solid. 10/10.

Defender (EBOs)

Thanks so much for the care you take of your customers…These arrived juat in time for a big trip to The Sawmill in Lauren’s,SC for a week of shooting! Legit eye pro and sunglasses all in one.

Defender (EBOs)

Bought these and wore them for a summer JRTC rotation (Infantry). These were the best pair of glasses I could ever ask for. Fantastic for day and night ops. Had a bunch of dudes complaining about their other glasses fogging up at night or having other glasses that would break the first few days we were out there. These did not fog at all while using them during the day or night in 100% humidity. Easy to switch day and night lenses in a hurry. Durable, did not rust, dropped a few times on accident and had my NVG’s crash against them a few times during falling in thick brush. Had plenty of vines and trees smack against the glasses at night. Managed to make it out of training with the dark lenses having no scratches and clear lenses only having a minor scratch. I put these to the test and they did not disappoint. The carrying case as well was in a bag that was thrown around and is still in great condition. These Defenders are worth every dollar. Now that I have worn these I can’t wait for the 81 series to be back in stock.

Fast shipping hood quality glasses

Defender (EBOs)

Bought my first pair close to when company launched, lasted for years, ahh had one of those “trips/nights” pair was lost. Did not re order right away for various reasons even outside of the ebo. Went through so many returns /exchanges, no better edc than my B&As. No better all around fit, style and functionality. I am rapidly convinced for the price point and above mentioned, best product in the market at the level. And out performs others in general use. Best glasses on market cheers

Defender (EBOs)

Awesome glasses, not the best fit on smaller dudes

Defender (EBOs)

This is my third pair of Bolt & Arrow glasses, first Defenders. The quality is the same as always, genuinely the best lenses I’ve looked through. The lens swap process is very easy, you don’t feel like you’re going to snap the frame doing it and the new lenses slot right in. 10/10 would recommend and buy again. The only down side is the cost of postage to the UK and then customs fees on top. Still worth it though.

Defender (EBOs)

Received these as part of our yearly equipment roll out in my sector. These were great for riverine operations. Hopefully they can be issued out again.

Great for, nice sun exposure cover
