Howard Leight by Honeywell UVEX

New Howard LeightTM by Honeywell UVEXTM eyewear models deliver safety, performance, comfort and style on the range and in the field

Whether headed to the range for a morning of plinking or to a vast autumn sunflower field for some wicked wingshooting, you want to bring your “A” game. That means having the right gear to support a solid performance, so make sure quality eyewear is included with your cartridges and shotshells.

Howard Leight by Honeywell offers a complete line of high-quality UVEX safety eyewear for shooters, including four new designs that deliver safety, performance, comfort and style with multiple lens tint options to optimize vision and performance in any shooting environment.

New UVEX HypershockTM, AcadiaTM, A1500 and A700 Sharp-Shooter models feature durable, lightweight frames with well-contoured temples that fit comfortably under your shooting muffs and tough, scratch-resistant lenses that meet or exceed rigid American National Standards Institute (ANSI) 787+ high-velocity impact standards.

UvextremeTM Plus anti-fog coating performs under the most extreme conditions, providing superior, long-lasting fog-free vision, while Hardcoat Coating provides long-lasting 2X scratch-resistance from scuffing and scratching.

UVEX Hypershock

These are glasses designed for the grind. “UVEX Hypershock eyewear delivers the ultimate combination of high-performance protection and aggressive sport-inspired styling,” says Howard Leight by Honeywell Product Manager Tony Han. The lightweight, wrap-around frame design offers high impact protection, with streamlined padded temples and a molded nosepiece making for a secure, comfortable fit. Six new Hypershock models offer a full range of lens tints and Uvextreme Plus or anti-fog lens coating. A seventh new Hypershock model is offered with the new UVEX Hydroshield™ Anti-Fog Coating.

“Hydroshield AF provides excellent scratch resistance, while helping to keep lenses fog free up to 90X longer than many other popular anti-fog products,” says Han. “It also offers 99.9-percent protection from harmful UVA and UVB ultraviolet radiation.” This exceptional performance is confirmed by independent lab tests comparing other UVEX anti-fog coated safety glasses using stringent European EN166/168 standards.

Hydroshield Anti-Fog Coating is permanently bonded to the lens, which means it needs no reapplication or maintenance. It features dual-action (hydrophilic and hydrophobic) properties, which means moisture is first absorbed by the lens, and once water droplets form, they are repelled to the sides of the lens.
