Hunting Season is Upon Us :)


Hunting season is finally here.  All over the country hunters are gearing up for another season of woodland bliss.  From Florida, to my home state of Michigan, many hunters are dreaming of that new trophy they will bring home, and the great (real organic) meals their family will enjoy.  
Most people dont realize that hunting is a necessary act.  Hunting helps to control populations that are over running city areas.  

What are you hunting this season?  Deer, elk, turkey, goose, alligator?  
Tell us what your favorite kind of hunting is. 

No matter what kind of hunting you like, whether you shoot with a bow/arrow, or a shotgun, Randolph Eyewear Ranger collection makes it easier to spot your target.  (which means you come home with a better haul).  

(Pictured above:  Ranger XLW w/ yellow lenses, cable temples)

A good generic lens to get for hunting is the yellow lenses.  They increase contrast in low light conditions, so whether you are going out in the evening or morning, these lenses will help your eyes focus on spotting your target.  

Randolph Eyewear Ranger collection comes in 4 different frame styles.  One of their options is to buy sports clip, which are lenses you can click onto your prescription glasses.  

Another very good lens for hunters is the color mag lens.  This lens is good mostly for practicing, because it helps to highlight the orange targets by at least 100%.  Your aim is about to get exceptionally better.  


For more information and more frame options, please visit:  www.randolpheyewear.com

Your first pair of glasses are 10% off with coupon code:  PROMO747

Randolph offers a lifetime warranty on all solder joints.  These glasses have gone through over 20 years of rigorous testing by the U.S. military and have stood the test of time.

Randolph Eyewear - at sea

Nothing beats a great day out on the water, but it’s important to bring the proper gear if you want the outing to be perfect.
A great pair of sunglasses can really make a difference on a hot, bright day out at sea. Or it can be a glaring mistake to bring the wrong sunglasses – or forget to bring a pair of sunglasses altogether.
You don’t need to spend a long day squinting out at the water because Massachusetts-based Randolph Engineering has the right sunglasses for you.

The company has been making top-of-the-line american eyewear in the United States since 1972 when it was founded by two engineers, Jan Waskiewicz and Stanley Zaleski, who had both worked in the U.S. optical manufacturing industry. The engineers started out by designing and manufacturing optical tools and machinery for the trade, but soon began making eyewear using the tools made by its founders.
Their “Made in the USA” quality is one of the reasons Randolph has been a supplier of sunglasses to the U.S. military for decades. In 1982, Randolph became the prime contractor for military-style aviation flight sunglasses for the U.S. Department of Defense.
But in addition to supplying the U.S. Armed Forces with eyewear, Randolph has recently been taking Hollywood by storm. The fast-growing, family-run company has become a favorite among fashion-forward celebrities such as Jon Hamm and Tom Cruise.  Even Johnny Depp likes Randolph Eyewear, and is often seen wearing the Aviator with light blue frames.  
All Randolph sunglasses are made to the highest standards and handcrafted from the finest materials.
The company’s mineral glass lenses are exceptionally scratch-resistant and provide distortion-free clarity while the optical-grade polycarbonate lenses used in some lines are highly impact-resistant and extremely lightweight. Its frames are known for their unequaled strength and solder joint integrity. The glasses’ nose pads are made of high-quality, soft silicone so that frames won’t slip even if you’re sweating on a hot day out at sea while trying to reel in the biggest catch of your life.

While their Old World craftsmanship is superb, Randolph’s sunglasses also feature the latest innovative eyewear technology.
For example, HD and HD Light lenses in some models help increase visibility by decreasing so-called “blue blur,” which is caused when blue light, with its shorter wavelength, scatters due to dust, fog or haze.
The company just released a new Falcon line of sunglasses for hunters, but anglers can enjoy all the benefits as well.
Named after the legendary F-16 Fighting Falcon, an American fighter jet known for having a cockpit with an exceptional field of view, the Falcon’s shield design allows anglers and shooters  an amazing view with remarkable optical clarity.
“Designed specifically for the sporting market, the Falcon was engineered to sit higher than the average sport shield frame,” said Peter Waszkiewicz, president and CEO of Randolph Engineering, Inc. “It combines a new, sleek, shield design with all the function and durability expected from our products. The interchangeable lenses and unobstructed field of view makes this frame a perfect choice for any sport.”
The third-generation, family-run company also recently updated its classic Aviator line.
“As we continue to evolve our brand, it is important not to forget the classics that made us who we are,” said Ekene Ofodile, senior vice president of marketing and sales at Randolph Engineering, Inc. “For the new Aviator II, we dug into the Randolph archives to bring our customers a new twist to a favorite classic.”
Randolph sunglasses are known for being lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear, but they’re also very durable and able to withstand the harsh life out at sea.
Other sunglasses include Concorde, Intruder, Raptor, P3, Crew Chief and Sportsman.
All of Randolph’s sunglasses come with a lifetime guarantee on its solider joints.
When you go down your mental checklist as you prepare for a great day on the water, remember to bring sunglasses that are up for the job.
Randolph eyewear will help you see farther and more clearly when you’re out at sea.

Product Review - Falcon - Randolph Eyewear

If you are in the market for a great pair of shooting glasses, look no further than the Ranger Falcons by Randolph Eyewear.  I recently tested them out at the range, shooting trap in the bright sun and .22s under a shady wooden structure.
I’ll speak to their comfort and effectiveness in a moment, but first a little bit about the product and the company behind it.

Founded in 1972, Randolph Engineering exemplifies the American Dream – two Polish immigrants start a small tool and die company in Randolph, Massachusetts, and become one of the leading optical companies in this field in the country.
Randolph Engineering began manufacturing aviator sunglasses for the US Air Force in the late 1970s and won the government bid to become the prime contractor in 1982.
Learning about the quality of its sunglasses through the military, civilians demanded commercial sunglasses and Randolph Eyewear was happy to oblige.

The Ranger Falcon Kit, which I tested out last week, is named after the F-16 Fighting Falcon, an American fighter jet known for the cockpit’s exceptional field of view.  Not coincidentally, the Falcon’s shield design offers shooters an equally exceptional view.
Features include unobstructed field of view, interchangeable NexPC shield lenses, and interchangeable nose pads. The kit also includes a semi-rigid nylon carrying case, cleaning cloth, maintenance kit, and micro-fiber carrying pouch.
I am thrilled that the Ranger Falcon Kit includes three interchangeable shield lenses:
  • HD (an orange lens) offers crisp vision by filtering out blue light to increase contrast. This is the best choice for medium light conditions and is what I used under the shelter while shooting the .22 rifle.
  • Dark Purple is a great lens for bright conditions.  It provides a fantastic contrast of orange targets against blue sky.  Also great for reducing glare and for use in snow.  I used this lens while shooting trap in the sun.
  • Medium Yellow highlights orange clay targets and works well in low light or overcast conditions.
I found the Ranger Falcons to be completely comfortable.  They are lightweight, the nose pads hit at the right place, and the unobstructed field of view is exceptional.  Beyond mere comfort, the clarity of the lenses was amazing.  The clay targets popped against the blue sky like never before and looking downrange at paper targets was no strain at all.
I really cannot say enough about how natural and easy the Ranger Falcon shooting glasses were to use.  They just felt right.  In no way were they a distraction.  I did not spend one moment thinking about them, which is important when shooting.  In addition, I loved the options in the lenses.  The fact that all three were readily available in one case made changing the lenses due to shooting conditions that much easier.
Today, Randolph remains dedicated to producing the highest quality of sunglasses and takes pride in its choices to sustain the American workforce and economy by creating American jobs and sourcing Made in USA items whenever feasible.
The Ranger Falcon Kit does not pop up under the Collections/Ranger Shooting tab.  Make sure you type Ranger Shooting Kit in their search area.  Randolph is currently offering free shipping on orders over $100 via FedEx Ground.

Randolph Eyewear - Polarized vs. Non-Polarized Lenses

Randolph Eyewear makes the best glasses in the USA. Polarized and Non-Polarized lens options.

www.randolpheyewear.com

Facts about Polarized Sunglasses and Exposure to UV Rays

Proper sun protection for your eyes:
  • Not all sunglasses block 100 percent of UV rays. The lens material and coatings applied to the lens determine the amount of UV protection sunglasses provide, not the color and darkness of a sunglass tint. Polycarbonate plastic sunglass lenses absorb essentially all UV radiation, with the added advantage of extreme impact resistance.
  • Different tints can help you see better in certain conditions and reduce glare and reflections by changing the quantity and quality of light entering the eye, but the color and darkness the tint of the sunglasses lens do not necessarily indicate the UV protection provided.
  • Wear sunglasses even when you're in the shade. Your eyes will still be exposed to UV rays reflected from water, pavement, snow, sand, windshields and other surfaces.
  • Wear sunglasses in winter. Snow reflects more UV rays than most other surfaces. Take care of your eyes when you ski, snowboard, snow-shoe, snowmobile, shovel or any other outdoor winter activity.
  • UV light can go right through clouds even when it is overcast.
  • The sun's rays are strongest between 10 am and 2 pm so be sure to wear proper sunglasses especially during those hours.
  • UV can reach the eyes from the sides and top of sunglasses, even with lenses that absorb all UV radiation. Polarized sunglasses with large, wrap-around style, sport wrap frames are good for peripheral protection.

Advantages of Polarized Sunglasses

Good quality, proper fitting, UV-protective sunglasses with polarized lenses in combination with other features can enhance your outdoor activities and sport experiences, whether you enjoy boating, fishing, in-line skating, mountain biking, skiing, hiking, kayaking, waterskiing, jet skiing, windsurfing, sailing, driving or just relaxing.
Too much unprotected exposure to UV radiation can cause “photokeratitis” – a sunburn of the eye. The symptoms are temporary eye redness,uncomfortableness, light sensitivity and tearfulness. Fortunately, these symptoms are usually short-lived, although long periods of UV radiation exposure can sometimes cause permanent eye damage. "Snow blindness" is the common term for severe photokeratitis, which causes temporary vision loss usually lasting 24-48 hours.

Randolph Eyewear has a number of lens options according to your exact needs.  Randolph Eyewear has a grey and tan polarized option, as well as flash mirror, polycarbonate lenses, and more.

"Rose" colored lenses - FACTS

www.randolpheyewear.com


Rose Lenses

  • Rose lenses are quite different from red lenses. Though they appear to be light red or pink, rose lenses are designed to let more light in and are typically best for medium to low light conditions. These lenses are often used for skiing and snowboarding goggles and glasses because they increase contrast with the snow and provide better vision for overcast and stormy days. Unlike red lenses, rose -- sometimes called vermilion -- lenses are not suitable for bright, sunny weather where you'll be exposed to direct sunlight for long periods, because they allow a higher VLT. According to the Vision Council, an eyewear industry association, some people like rose lenses best for comfortable, prolonged wear.
Pictured Above is the Randolph Ranger XLW with Vermillion lenses


  • Pictured above, the Randolph Ranger XLW with yellow lenses. 

Yellow lenses are the choice of many athletes and professionals working outdoors. They absorb blue and ultraviolet (UV) light and offer depth and contrast in conditions that are otherwise stressful on your eyes.

Depth Perception

  • Yellow lenses offer the greatest depth perception and contrast because they filter out blue light. This is important for sports such as hunting and skeet shooting because yellow lenses filter the blue light of the sky, allowing you to see the smallest movement.

Ultraviolet Light Absorption

  • Amber or yellow lenses provide sharpness and contrast in hazy light conditions because they absorb UV and blue light making everything seem brighter. This makes them good for working around dawn or dusk and on overcast or foggy days.

Decrease Eye Fatigue

  • If you do a lot of driving, yellow lenses helps decrease fatigue because they add contrast to your vision. Yellow lenses also decrease fatigue when driving in the evening because they increase visual clarity. This is why bikers and pilots often use yellow lenses.

Sunglasses are more than a Fashion Statement


Sunglasses aren’t just fashion accessories. They are a necessary protection for the eyes. Most consumers know about the danger of sun exposure to the skin, but many are unaware that the sun’s rays can damage the eyes. To correctly shield the eyes, the right type of sunglasses must be worn, especially since wearing the 
wrong type can cause more damage than not wearing glasses at all. 
The eyes are susceptible to being burned by sunrays. The cornea, lens, and retina are all vulnerable to overexposure of ultraviolet (UV) rays. Over time these UV rays—invisible to the human eye—can harm the eye if left unprotected. Workers who are heavily exposed to sunlight should protect their eyes with UVblocking sunglasses.Sunglasses help in two important ways. They filter light and protect the eyes from damaging UV rays. Long-term exposure to UV rays can lead to cataracts, macular degeneration, or skin cancer around the eyelids. Sunglasses should be worn outdoors to protect the eyes. 

Pictured Above:  Ranger Sporting Eyewear Collection:  XLW - yellow lenses

Choose Your Color Wisely
Different lens tints filter different wavelengths of light. Some may enhance or distort colors and affect contrast. Select tint based on need.
• Green—Allows true color perception and good contrast in bright light; reduces eyestrain in bright light.
• Gray—Allows true color perception, but does not enhance contrast; good for cycling or running.
• Brown—Good in hazy sun, enhances contrast; good for high-glare environments.
• Amber—Brightens cloudy, hazy, or foggy skies; excellent for contrast; minimizes eyestrain; distorts color (images look yellow-orange).
• Yellow—Improves contrast and depth perception in low light; good for overcast days.
• Red—Excellent depth perception in low light; contrast objects against blue or green backgrounds.
• Mirrored—Reflects high-intensity light to reduce glare; available in various colors.
Pictured Above:  Ranger Sporting Eyewear Collection:  XLW - Cable temples, yellow lenses

Do those sunglasses for specific sports really make a difference?
Yes. Sports eyewear in general tends to be safer than regular sunglasses because the lenses and frames are made of special materials that are unlikely to shatter if struck and can give you the benefits of both sunglasses and protective eyewear.
Also, certain lens colors in performance sunglasses can enhance your vision for certain sports; brown, for example, is popular with golfers because it provides nice contrast on those very green golf courses.
Randolph Eyewear is some of the best made eyewear on the market today.  Every pair is handmade in the USA using the best materials available.  Randolph gives a lifetime warranty on their solder joints, which means this may just be the last pair of sunglasses you will ever have to buy.  These glasses were first made to protect the eyes and increase visibility for air force pilots, and now they are available to the general public.

Frame of the Day - JD Sunglasses from the Michael Bastian Collection

Thursdays Frame of the Day is the JD - from the Michael Bastian Collection.

American Eyewear brand Randolph Engineering, who has been making classic shades for over four decades, gets a fashion boost from American menswear designer Michael Bastian.

Michael Bastian, known for his clean American-prep styling, puts a twist on several pieces from the Randolph archives, as well as helps create a few completely new designs.  From frames with clip-on lenses inspired by James Dean to a squared off masculine 70’s inspired design, there is no shortage of inventiveness in the collection which features both metal and acetate sunglasses and eyeglasses.
See these and more at:  www.randolpheyewear.com
The Collection:
Randolph Engineering X Michael Bastian JD sunglasses
The JD is inspired by the frames worn by American actor and icon James Dean.

The JD model is a classic P3 design which works as well today as it did way back then.  It is a unisex smaller fitting frame which provides a refined look on both men and women alike.  It is handmade in Italy using Mazzucchelli acetate and offered in three color combinations: tortoise, black, and clear.


Wear it as a sunglass or an eyeglass — The JD features a detachable metal sunglass clip which can easily be taken on/off.   So you can fit them with a prescription and wear them as an eyeglass, then quickly clip on the tinted lenses when you step into the sun. Or even if you only plan to only wear them as sunglasses, the JD is undoubtedly a cool piece.

BLUE LENSES for losing weight?? -YES!

Lose weight and work one of the trendiest accessories for 2013? Too good to be true, surely. The Huffington Post reported recently that doctors have been musing on the colors of craving and are claiming that the donning of blue lensed sunglasses can help those wishing to lose weight.
Bid on these glasses, the same one Johnny Depp wears, at this link:

Randolph Eyewear - Aviator w/ Blue Lenses

The reasoning is that apart of course from the little old blueberry, there naturally exists no blue food. So blue is said to be a tummy turn off that suppresses the appetite. Red and yellow are apparently appetite triggers as reflected by the use of those colours in fast food joint decor. But the clincher came when the doctors referenced Mr Johnny Depp in their research. We have clocked Depp's fancy for the blue lens for some time although links with dieting have never been affirmed by the actor. Huffington Post's report repeats the claim that Depp began wearing the blue lenses, which have become something of a signature in recent years to slim down for a role. Is Johnny's stay slim style secret finally out?
Johnny was also said to be adding green tea into the mix for the vampire's figure required for the upcoming Dark Shadows flick. It just so happens that his character Barnabas Collins likes himself a blue lens. Coloured lenses have been around for centuries, 200 year old vampire Collins is lucky enough to pick up a pair of originals.
Blue is an appetite surpressent and has a natural calming effect.  So besides looking super fabulous, you will also be losing weight.  Johnny Depp seems to know what he's doing, and he is leading the trend for wearing blue glasses.
