Smith Optics Elite new products, new year….

We always have our favorite product lines each year that put  put out new and interesting things and always impress us.   Original Swat, Tru-Spec, Trijicon and now Smith Optics Elite are on our list.   There are many products that we sell that our employees wear and use every day and will personally attest to their clarity, durability or value.   When many of us first started wearing the Smith Optics Eyewear it all seemed like over priced shooting range glasses until we actually wore them and looked through them.  We’ve had guys come in here and say they get the cheap stuff at the hardware store, but none of them knew about the prescription lense options or the manufacturer’s warranty on the eyewear.

Many of the goggles that we sell are similar to each other, but Smith Optics Elite came out with a lo-profile goggle in multicam last year as well as the very well received boogie regulator google.   The boogie regulators are really big for sky diving and airsoft and we’re amazed at  how  broad these Smith Optics Elite goggles have been accepted.  I read a few negative reviews from people about them  online but that has not been our experienced.  When entire tactical teams are walking in the door and send their buddies in the next week, and nobody complains about them, and they are getting used, we know we have a good product.

Boogie Regulators best bang for the buck

The Boogie Regulator opens up our eyewear product line to something new and general inexpensive eyewear.   Some ballistic eyewear might not work for you due to the design and frame and that’s why it’s always nice to be able to walk into a stocking Smith Optics Elite dealer.   The Boogie Regulator is an easy product to wear because there are multiple ways of wear it.  Check out the above Youtube video for the Smith Optics Elite boogie regulator goggles accessory.

The boogie regulator comes in 3 different lense designs, there is no frame to have interchangeable lenses so you might need to buy more than one.  These ballistic goggles are available in clear, gray and ignitor. These Smith Optics Elite goggles are the most practical thing to wear while riding a motorcycle, taking a Carbine or Defensive firearm course, send them off to your kids in the Military or give it to your Dad for Father’s day.

More Boogie Regulator Feedback

These have been one of the hottest selling pieces of eyewear in recent years and it’s been fun watching the diverse groups of people show up at our door looking for them.   We feel we’ve gotten enough feed back from customers that we can actually answer our other customers questions with honest answers.   The Boogie Regulators are hot sellers because they are very reasonable priced compared to the rest of the Smith Optics Elite product line.  I personally prefer the Smith Optics Elite Eyeshields due to their broad visibility and lack of having any blind spots.
The Smith Optics Elite eyewear has covered a lot of ground since we first started carrying the product line.   These new Boogie regulators have continued to be hot sellers but we’ll be honest about what they are good for.  Many SWAT Teams and tactical teams have used these but they are really meant for moving operators and you may have some issues with them fogging up due to the fact they are closed optics.  The vents can be opened and closed and if you are constantly moving, jumping out of an air plane ect. they are really good to  use.  If you are dealing with hot temps you may want to stick with the eyeshields.

Ballistic Eyewear in Stock

There are only a few optics companies that are approved by the United States Military and Smith Optics Elite are one of them. The Outside the wear goggles are used by many military and Law Enforcement. Many of our customers are active military and when they have the option to try out something other than what they are issued, they are choosing the Smith Optics Elite. There are replacement lenses for the Outside the Wire googles and improved ballistic protection.

The OTW Turbo Fan solves a problem that many optics run into. When you are in a situation where taking your safety gear off and your goggles are fogging up the silent Smith Optics Elite turbo fan will reduce fogging immediately. For law enforcement, the Smith Optics Tactical Lifestyle glasses come in clear, gray, Polarized gray and the Ignitor for all of the glasses. The Director, Lockwood, Hideout series all have a unique feel and look to them as well as the other styles. They will give you UV protection so you can keep your eyes on your job without eye strain.

You get what you pay for in optics, firearms and safety equipment

I got a hold of a few samples of other ballistic eyewear this week and it’s been over a year that I have been wearing the Smith Optics Elite division of eyewear.   I’ve worn safety glasses for almost  20yrs and couldn’t tell the difference between the ones I used for cutting the lawn and weed wacking vs the ones I wore when I was shooting a 22lr rifle at boy scout camp.   The one thing I have learned over the years is to make sure I put the glasses back in a case or have a clip on cover over my car visor so they don’t get scratched up.  Even ballistic eyewear can get scraped up and once that is done, it will no longer be of much use causing blind spots or annoyances.

The tactical lifestyle eyewear has a broaders customer base and is very popular with range officers.   The ballistic eyewear from Smith Optics Elite has grown in 2012 and the new Boogie regulator and the lo profile googles have caught on.   We still carry the smith Optics elite standard goggles and the Turbo fan goggles but due to so many variations in military helmets and such, you need a broader selection of goggles for those  operating out of helicopters, using night vision and those in standard issue kevlar helmets.   We are a full line dealer and have a large selection in our store for  you to check out so stop in sometime.
