ESS will donate 25% of its sales from this product to the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, whose charitable works benefit firefighters, law enforcement officers, and military personnel (see "25% Back" tab for details). The ESS CDI MAX™ 9.11 Limited Edition Sunglass includes interchangeable Mirrored Silver lenses with a custom "REMEMBER 9.11" lens etching, as well as a U.S. Flag Microfiber sunglass bag. Medium-Large fit frame. Think of the CDI MAX™ as the original CDI™ on steroids. With a larger frame, thicker lenses and a whole lot more attitude, this is the ultimate sunglass for those who live life to the max. The extra-tough 2.4mm lenses are some of the thickest of any sunglass in the world, and with maximum lens wrap you’ll be more covered than ever before. Similar to the battlefield-proven CDI™, the CDI MAX™ features the ESS Lateral Exchange System™, allowing you to quickly adapt to your environment by interchanging any of the five available lens colors. This product comes with Mirrored Silver lenses, but can accept any of these other replacement lens options as well:
This 9.11 Edition CDI MAX is Compliant with: U.S. MIL SPEC MIL-PRF-31013 (clause 3.5.1.1), ANSI Z87.1-2010, CE EN 166 and U.S. Federal OSHA compliant. All ESS lenses provide 100% UVA/UVB protection. Note: Only CDI MAX™ lenses are compatible with the CDI MAX™. |

The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation was created to honor the legacy of New York City firefighter Stephen Siller, who laid down his life at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 in order to save the lives of many others. By raising funds through its now-nationwide 9.11 "Tunnels to Towers" runs, the Foundation promotes healing and provides hope by building customized homes for severely-wounded combat veterans, assisting the families of fallen public safety officers, and helping firefighters recover in burn centers nationwide. |

“Dear ESS, On Jan 11, 2007, I was conducting a blocking position in Iraq. I had removed my ESS CDI Sunglasses so that I could look through binoculars. The glasses were hanging around my neck by the strap when a sniper approximately 400 meters from our position shot me in the neck. The bullet struck the frame of the CDI glasses first and deflected away from my neck. Instead of entering at the neck and going into my torso, the bullet traveled down the outside between my back and my body armor leaving only minor wounds. It was a one in a million shot, and I know that God was watching out for me that day. Needless to say, I appreciate your protective sunglasses very much. Sincerely,” – SGT Anthony Erskine |
