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 five 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.

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.

“Dear ESS,
My name is SSgt Solomon, I am a Marine from 29 Palms, California. I was in Iraq when I purchased the ESS CDI sunglasses. The glasses saved my eyesight. We were going down one of the main highways from Ramadi to Fallujah when an IED blew up next to my LAV25. I was engulfed in flames. I received shrapnel to the arms and face. The CDI smoke gray lenses have burnt spots where either hot metal or tar hit. I wish I had pictures; we had no time--we got into a firefight just after I was hit by the IED.
Thank you for making a good product, the glasses protected my baby blues.”
