Redesigned and Better Than Ever

The resilient, battle-hardened CDI™ sunglass has a long track record of saving eyes and lives in hazardous situations. Following a series of comprehensive overhauls, the redesigned CDI™ has never been better.

The ESS CDI's U.S. MIL SPEC* high-impact lenses can be easily exchanged for quick adaptation to your environment.  Its high-speed low-drag frame and shatter-resistant lenses make the CDI™ comfortable and cool enough for downtime yet functional and rugged enough for first responder situations that require primary eye protection.  Medium fit.

The CDI's Lateral Exchange System™ makes interchanging any of the seven available lens colors quick and easy:

New Improvements Include:

  • New cam-hinge temples feature SmartTension™ engineering for enhanced retention and a more comfortable fit.
  • New co-molded nosepiece and full-wrap temple sleeves feature advanced no-slip rubber that provides maximum slip resistance, even when moist.
  • Redesigned strap attachment system provides more secure engagement of strap and frame.
  • Now includes a zippered hard case and a micro-fiber pouch/cleaning cloth.

CDI Kit Includes: A Desert Tan CDI frame, two sets of 2.2mm high-impact lenses (Clear and Smoke Gray), an elastic retention strap, a micro-fiber pouch/cleaning cloth, and a zippered hard case.

Important safety note for CDI™ Rx Insert users operating in proximity to fragmentation hazards:

ESS strongly recommends the use of high-impact polycarbonate prescription lenses to optimize impact resistance in the CDI™ sunglass. High-impact polycarbonate prescription lens material will maximize the impact resistance of the system well beyond that offered by CR-39 resin or other common materials used in prescription lens manufacturing.

I just wanted to write and tell you how much I love and appreciate your eye pro. On the 16th of November, 2009, we were on patrol just outside of Mosul, Iraq, when my platoon and I came under attack. One of the grenades hit about 10 feet from my position and I was engulfed in smoke, flames and shrapnel. I was hit all throughout my face, neck, arms and legs. One of my only serious injuries would have been to my right eye, but fortunately because of my ESS CDI glasses, that piece of shrapnel hit my lens and deflected off into my forehead instead. It left a hell of a gash in my forehead and a scuff on my lens, but your glasses saved my eye, no questions asked. I really appreciate the quality of your product, and I will never wear another brand of eye pro. Thank you!
