Vortex Optics and Gatorz Eyewear proudly announce a groundbreaking collaboration that redefines the standard for performance eyewear. The all-new Vortex x Gatorz Rig marks the fusion of Gatorz’s military-grade craftsmanship and Vortex’s industry-leading optics expertise—engineered for those who live and perform at the edge.
Crafted for hunters, tactical professionals, and outdoor enthusiasts alike, this partnership introduces a new level of clarity, contrast, and comfort in rugged eyewear. At its core is the debut of the proprietary MILSPEC copper OPz™ Optimized Polarized lens, built to reduce harsh glare and enhance target visibility by amplifying reds and greens for better environmental definition.
“Our customers demand the best—gear that performs when it matters most,” said Scott Sorensen, Head of Marketing at Gatorz Eyewear. “This partnership with Vortex brings together two performance-driven brands that share a deep commitment to quality and the customer experience. We’re incredibly excited to collaborate with a brand that aligns so strongly with our values. The Vortex x Gatorz Rig isn’t just a pair of sunglasses—it’s a precision tool engineered for those who expect clarity, reliability, and performance under pressure.”
The Rig features the new TruRay Hellfire™ Tracker Lens technology, a dynamic high-contrast tint that adapts to shifting light conditions—from glaring sun to shadowed terrain. This color-enhancing tech is optically color indexed and equipped with Opz Optimized Polarization to deliver vivid, true-to-life vision while improving depth perception and sharpening environmental awareness.
Key Features of the Vortex x Gatorz Rig:
The Vortex x Gatorz Rig is more than a collaborative product—it's a bold new standard for elite performance eyewear. Whether on the hunt, at the range, or navigating the wild, it delivers the clarity and toughness today’s adventurers’ demand.
“As someone who’s spent my life relying on gear in the most demanding environments—on the battlefield and beyond—I know firsthand how critical clarity, durability, and precision truly are,” said Chad Robichaux, Former Force Recon Marine and founder of the Mighty Oaks Foundation. “Bringing Gatorz and Vortex together was about more than creating eyewear—it was about fusing two American brands that understand what it takes to perform when failure isn’t an option. The Rig represents that shared commitment to excellence, forged in purpose and built for those who never back down.”
The Rig is now available for purchase at Gatorz.com and VortexOptics.com.
