What Others Are Saying About ESS High Adrenaline Eye Protection:
Shane Osterman, U.S. Army
My convoy was traveling back to our COP. I was the gunner in the rear truck of the convoy, when suddenly I heard an explosion followed by the sensation of falling. When I opened my eyes, I was half sitting where my gunners stand had been. My goggles where no longer on my face, my left knee hurt and I was bleeding from my right eyebrow. I noticed that my rifle was missing and I started to whiteout. Once that was over, I noticing my rhino mount was gone, my helmet light was missing, and I found my goggles on the back of my ACH. The medics sat me against a wall, and I noticed the whole front end of the truck was missing. 50 meters in front of the truck sat the radiator. The entire engine was behind the truck (which went over my head) and the tires were blown 100 yards into a field. Against the wall, I checked my goggles. They were covered in the same dirt-oil mix I was covered in, and the front of the lens had a bunch of really bad scuff/scratch marks. I had no vision during the explosion, but figure that I had bounced my face off of my M240B. My medic took this picture about 10 minutes after the blast. Note the outline of where the goggles pressed into my face. I just want to thank ESS for making a good product that saved not only my face, but my vision too.
SGT. Ross Shores, 172nd Stryker Brigade
I am writing to show and tell you of the in-field performance of the fantastic protective eyewear ESS has developed. The attached photos were taken before and after a sniper attack outside of Mosul, Iraq, on July 3, 2006. I was positioned in the right rear hatch of my rolling Stryker when a sniper that had claimed the life of a fellow soldier and good friend three days prior struck again. This time, the snipers bullet hit my gun mount and continued on to fragment and splatter on the right lens of my ESS CDI sunglasses. While I was knocked down with the impact of the bullet, I suffered only minor injuries to my head and was back in action within the week. As strong testimony to the physical toughness of the CDI glasses, after the sniper attack I simply replaced the fractured lenses and continued to wear the glasses in combat for the remaining five months of duty in Baghdad. The frames were dinged a bit, but still functioned as new, even after taking a hit from a 7.62 sniper round.Many thanks to your product development department and all of those associated with making these fine products available to our brave young men and women that continue to fight the fight in Iraq and Afghanistan.
