ARDON V8100 Ballistic Glasses — Black

The ARDON V8100 are polycarbonate protective glasses with tinted lenses, designed for outdoor use in high-brightness conditions: shooting on open ranges, hunting in open terrain, and professional activities in bright environments. The lenses comply with EN 172 standard, marked 5-3.1 1 FT O, which defines the solar filter category, mechanical resistance, and conditions of use.

The FT marking indicates mechanical resistance against low-energy particles, maintained even at extreme temperatures — a relevant detail for anyone using the equipment in summer on exposed ranges or in professional settings where environmental conditions vary. The lens surface treatment combines an anti-fog coating and a scratch-resistant finish: both functions complement each other, though it is worth knowing that an anti-fog coating is inherently more delicate than an untreated surface — cleaning the lenses with abrasive cloths or applying excessive pressure will gradually reduce the effectiveness of both treatments.

The nylon temples adjust across 4 length positions, allowing the fit to be tailored to facial geometry without replacing the frame. The soft, ventilated nose pad is made from non-slip material: it reduces pressure on the nose during extended wear and limits sliding when sweating. The UV filter integrated into the tinted lenses provides protection in all high-light conditions without requiring additional accessories.

Key features

• Tinted polycarbonate lenses reduce incoming visible light, making the glasses suitable for full-daylight outdoor use without eye strain.
• EN 172 compliance with FT resistance guarantees protection against low-energy particles even under extreme temperature conditions.
• The anti-fog and scratch-resistant coating keeps the view clear during extended sessions, provided the lenses are cleaned with care.
• Temples adjustable across 4 positions allow a customised fit for different facial shapes.
• The ventilated non-slip nose pad stabilises the glasses during movement and reduces heat build-up beneath the frame.
