ShellShock Eclipse Sunglasses: Photochromic Z87+
One Pair. From Indoor Bay to Outdoor Range.
Eclipse is one pair that handles both situations.
Clear under indoor lighting, tinting within seconds when you step into the sun, back to clear when you come off the line.
Our Advanced Light Technology (ALT) reacts to UV, not brightness. They will not transition under indoor lighting or in vehicles with UV-treated windows.
Why it's great for shooting: Tinted enough to kill glare, deliberately not dark enough to lose your front sight or wash out target definition in shadow.
What it's rated: ANSI Z87.1+, the high-velocity impact standard. The plus means it passed the high-mass and high-velocity tests, not just the basic drop.
What it does in heat: FogGuard Pro™ is bonded into the lens so you can say goodbye to steamy range days.
What's the frame: Dual-injected rubber temples and nose pads. TR90 frame that flexes instead of snapping.
How Dark Does It Actually Get?
Photochromic lenses are categorized from 0 (clear lens) to 4 (very dark tint for exceptional glare).
Eclipse was designed to go from category 0 to category 3.
We chose this so the lenses never go so dark that clarity on sight or target is lost.
Darkening takes seconds. Clearing takes a couple of minutes. That's true of every photochromic lens, ours included.
Which Eclipse Should I Get?
If you shoot exclusively outdoors in bright sun and want the darkest possible lens, the Eclipse Polarized is the better & more affordable buy.
If you move between indoor and outdoor, or shoot at dusk, this is the pair.
