Gargoyles: High-Performance Sunglasses with Ballistic Defense Lenses

Gargoyles is a provider of high-end sun glasses. As a high-end company, Gargoyles strives to ensure that its products are both lightweight and impact resistant, providing a safe experience for its customers.

Ballistic Defense Lenses

• Gargoyles employs what it calls "ballistic defense" lenses in all of its products. According to Gargoyles, these lenses are between five and six times more impact-resistant than traditional polycarbonate lenses.

Applications

• Gargoyle's ballistic defense lenses have been developed from a blend of polymers created by Carl Zeiss Vision. Due to their increased levels of impact-resistance, these lenses are suitable for use in military, sports and general safety applications.

Standards

• Gargoyles' ballistic defense lenses either meet or exceed all relevant testing standards supplied by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), both internationally recognized developers of industry standards.
