Hunters - Choosing a Lens Color

If you’re a shooter, you already know that shooting safety glasses are an absolute necessity every time you hold a gun, whether it’s at the shooting range, in the field, or as part of your job. There’s no mystery surrounding why shooting glasses are a critical accessory – your eyes are precious, and you need to protect them. Yet, there can be some mystery around the many lens color options you have to choose from for your shooting safety glasses. 

Different safety glasses lens colors enhance your vision in various lighting conditions, helping you see with more clarity and accuracy – two characteristics that every shooter needs. Let’s break down your shooting glasses lens color options:

Yellow/Orange Shooting Glasses: Yellow and orange tinted safety glasses, tend to block out “blue light”, such as light on a cloudy day, but bring out the orange color of a practice target. These colors tend to create a more detailed line of vision, helping you to better perceive depth, and thus improve accuracy.

Amber Shooting Glasses: Amber lenses, are a very popular lens color, and they work best in low light, cloudy days. The amber tint creates exceptional contrast between colors, helping the orange of the target stand out to you, even on those dreary days.

Purple Shooting Glasses: If you’re at a shooting range with a backdrop of beautiful trees around you, you’ll want the help of a purple safety glass tint. This color helps improve contrast, particularly against greens (trees/grass) and oranges (the target), keeping your eyes focused on the target, and only the target.

Brown Shooting Glasses: Many hunters and shooters prefer brown lenses, as they call attention to orange targets. They work best in fields or other open areas, and particularly in bright sunlight.

Which shooting safety glasses lens color is ideal for you, and why? Every shooter has their preferred color they feel most comfortable with and would recommend, and we’d love to hear from you on the lens colors that work best for your shooting conditions. Start taking notice of the different lighting and landscape conditions around where you shoot, and match these characteristics up to the lens color that would be just right for you.

Review - Randolph Sportsman

www.randolpheyewear.com




Randolph Eyewear makes the best quality sunglasses around.  They make the classic aviator look, but Randolph also makes other popular frame shapes.  The P3 for example is a very popular look that fits in well with today's fashion.  The Sportsman sunglasses, as pictured above, are traditional looking men's outdoor frames.  Randolph has a timeless design for everyone, whether you just like the original aviator style, or whether you want to be a little more fashion savy.  

  "It is a timeless model sure to last in an increasingly disposable market." 
                     `-Gentlemen's Gazette 

A couple of months ago, we tested a pair of sunglasses by Randolph Eyewear, the Massachusetts-based manufacturer of shooting eyewear and sunglasses. 

Now, after testing the glasses in the mountains of Colorado, everyday use at home, as well as in the sun of Arizona, we want to present you the Sportsman sunglasses from Randolph Eyewear. First, we will take a glimpse at the history of this company, then describe and analyze the sunglasses before we provide you with our conclusion

Find The Right frame In The Correct Size

This means you can pick between one out of nine basic frame styles. Once you determined what look is best for you, it is time to pick one of the numerous sizes. ). Not all heads are created equal, and so the Sportsman frame is available in 3 different sizes: 52mm (small), 57mm (medium), 61mm (large). In order to determine the right size, you have to measure your face in front of a mirror with a ruler from temple to temple. With that measurement, RE will be able to tell you what frames you need. Alternatively, you can visit your optometrist.

Afterwards, it is time to pick a frame color. I decided on gold but I could have gotten matte black, matte chrome, bright chrome or gun metal instead.

Temples & Polarized Lenses

Depending on the length of your head, you can now choose between 4 different temple lengths and 3 temple designs. I preferred the classic skull temples over the cable or bayonet style.

Last but not least, you have to settle on some lenses. While you can choose between 8 lenses, including mineral glass lenses, polycarbonate lenses etc. However, I strongly recommend you pick between either the grey or tan polarized lenses because these noticeably reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as snow or water, and hence provide better vision. Polarization basically means that the lens filters horizontal polarized light waves which are hard on the human eye. Think of it as tiny blinds that filter unpleasant light but nothing else.

We decided to go with the polarized lenses in tan and they are truly magnificent. The colors are vivid and the lack of glare is amazing which became especially visible when I switched my sunglasses and compared them to other ones- including another famous aviator brand. Even compared to other polarized sunglasses I preferred the Sportsman. The nose pads are made of soft silicone and my glasses did not move around on my nose, even during a warm hike in an Sedona, Arizona canyon.

While I have to admit that I do not find most of their frame styles to be particularly appealing to my tastes, I can wholeheartedly recommend their Sportsman model. While the price is not low, a customized, made-to-order pair of sunglasses with a lifetime frame warranty stands up as a real value against typically high competitor prices and fleeting designer styles. In case you are on the hunt for a pair of high quality, classic aviators, you should look no further than the Randolph Engineering Sportsman. It is a timeless model sure to last in an increasingly disposable market.

Randolph Eyewear sells Randolph Engineering products at the best price.  Whether you are sold on the Sportsman (starting at $159), or if you want something more simple like their classic Aviator (starting at $129).  When you really think about the price, think about this...how many pairs of sunglasses have you gone through in your life already?  And everytime, you just bought another pair.  However, Randolph Engineering/Randolph Eyewear offer a lifetime warranty on all their solder joints.  If anything is wrong with your glasses, send them back to the company.  They have excellent customer service.  

Moral of the story is, Randolph sunglasses are the best high quality glasses made with a lifetime warranty accompanying each and every one that leaves their small factory.  If you want quality frames that the U.S. military and NASA use, then you want the quality found in Randolph Engineering.

Improve Visibility with Randolph Eyewear Ranger Collection - Yellow Lenses increase Contrast

www.randolpheyewear.com

My eyes often feel tired after staring at the computer all day. So I'm wondering if glasses designed for computer use actually help (for example, those yellow-tinted glasses I've seen on Randolph Eyewear. They seem pricey and I'm a little skeptical about all the claims, but I also want to protect my vision. 

Vision problems are unfortunately one of the hazards of too much screen time. In fact, theVision Council found that 70 percent of US adults in one survey reported having some kind of digital eye strain (strained, dry, or red eyes; blurred vision; headaches; back pain; neck pain; or general fatigue) as a result of using digital devices for hours at a time.P

We've previously noted several ways to prevent or reduce eyestrain, including using the 20-20-20 rule to regularly give your eyes a break and ergonomically optimizing your workstation. In addition to those essential tweaks, computer eyewear could also alleviate or prevent digital eyestrain, depending on your situation. I talked to several eye health experts to find out more about these special glasses, and also did a two-week trial comparing new specially-coated glasses with older ones. Here's what I learned.

P

Computer glasses are special-purpose eyeglasses meant to optimize your eyesight when you're looking at digital screens. They're designed to: reduce glare (a major cause of eyestrain), increase contrast, and maximize what you see through the lenses—making it easier to look at a screen for longer periods of time. P

Validating my experience, Dr. Jeffrey Anshel, an optometrist and computer vision consultant (who was also the technical adviser for Gunnar Optiks), points out that when it comes to coatings, you have two general choices: old and new. Older ones do peel and "craze," resulting in unsightly cracks, while newer ones wear very well and have a one-year warranty. So when you're at the eye doctor, you'll want to ask for the latest coating—and perhaps buy new glasses even if your prescription hasn't changed in the last few years, because coatings definitely have improved.PAnti-reflective (AR) coating: Anti-reflective coatings reduce glare bouncing off screens and from light sources. Specially-designed Randolph Ranger Sporting Eyewear offers these coatings and prescription glasses can get anti-reflective coatings as well. 

Color tints: Some computer glasses also have an unmistakable (usually yellow) tint designed to increase the contrast on the screen and filter out the uncomfortable/harsh light spectrums so your eye muscles relax. 

P

The Yellow lenses found on Randolph Eyewear are perfect for sitting in front of the computer for long amounts of time, and perfect for dusk-night driving.  These glasses increase contrast and make it safer for you to be on the road.  They are also perfect for sporting activities like hunting, hiking, fishing, biking, and anything else you might be doing ourdoors.  Randolph Eyewear makes is safer for your eyes all day and transitioning into the night.

"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.

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.

RE Aviator’s Tour of duty: Vietnam, Desert Storm, Korea, and Kosovo. Randolph Engineering, Inc., A.K.A. RE, was founded in 1972 by two engineers, Jan Waszkiewicz and Stanley Zaleski.

The vision of the cofounders was to build the cornerstone of the business on advanced engineering principles and eventually, manufacturing of premium performance eyewear. In 1982, RE became the prime contractor for military-style aviation flight glasses for the U.S. Department of Defense.
