The ESS Crossbow Suppressor™ is the first spectacle frame designed for use with ear cup hearing protection and communications devices. Featuring Z-Bend™ Geometry, the frame's ultra-thin temple arms help keep noise out by minimizing the effect on the padded seal of ear cups. The slim temples eliminate the hot spots and pressure points that commonly occur when normal eyewear is worn under ear cups.
The Suppressor frame is compatible with all Crossbow™ lenses. These 2.4mm Polycarbonate lenses feature distortion-free ESSOPTICS™ and ClearZone™ FlowCoat technology to combat fogging on the inside and scratches on the outside. The frame's DedBolt™ Lens Lock provides quick lens interchange and rock-solid retention under impact.
The ESS Crossbow Suppressor™ is available online in four configurations:

I am overseas in OEF, but wanted to share with you my positive experience with your new Crossbow eyeshields. I have tested these in 111 deg temperatures
in the deserts of Jordan to below freezing (at night) in the mountains of Afghanistan. The Crossbows performed even better than expected—they are hands down
the best eye pro I've worn since being assigned to special operations. The lenses provide a lot of coverage and give you full peripheral use. They are lightweight
and comfortable to wear, even under Peltors. The optics are just as great in the morning twilight as they are at high noon. Most guys end up taking off their eye
pro halfway through a mission because of fogging, but the Crossbows held up like a champ. I have never managed to fog up the lenses, which is something ESS should
be proud of, since I have fogged all other eyewear that I have ever tried. Even when dropping down a pair of NVG's after working up a sweat, fogging was not a
problem at all. You guys have really hit the mark with these. The Crossbows are the only eye pro I can wear anymore—thank you for making such a great product!

When you're ready to switch lenses, the innovative DedBolt™ Lens Lock pivots up for easy release, then clamps down for rock solid retention under impact.
As you stare down your objective through ESSOPTICS™, you'll experience distortion-free optical precision throughout the entire field of view.
You'll notice that Crossbow™ lenses don't fog. That's thanks to groundbreaking ClearZone™ FlowCoat Technology. These advanced lens coatings are engineered to maximize scratch resistance on the outside and fog resistance on the inside.
