ESS ICE3 ballistic eyewear — three interchangeable lenses and case

The ESS ICE3 are frameless ballistic glasses with three interchangeable 2.4 mm polycarbonate lenses — clear, grey and yellow — and an included soft case. Designed for shooters, professional operators and hunters working in variable light conditions who cannot afford to swap eyewear every time the situation changes.

Ballistic resistance is certified to MIL-PRF-31013, the NATO standard for military eye protection equipment. This means the lenses withstand high-velocity projectile impact under standardised test conditions: genuine protection, not just a marketing claim. The 2.4 mm polycarbonate lens thickness provides structural rigidity without adding unnecessary weight, and the scratch-resistant coating maintains optical clarity over time even under heavy use.

The three-lens interchangeable system addresses a real trade-off: a dark grey lens cuts glare in full sunlight but can reduce contrast perception in shade or overcast conditions; the yellow lens increases contrast and edge definition in low or artificial light but is not suited for extended use under direct sun; the clear lens is the neutral choice for indoor use, night operations or reduced-light conditions. Having all three types in the same case means not having to choose in advance. The adjustable, mouldable side arms adapt to different facial profiles without tools — a detail that matters when wearing the glasses for hours at a time.
