Eye & Ear Protection

We know your eyes are really important to you. We don't want you sacrificing them because you can't find style as well as protection. Thankfully, the Saber Advanced from Wiley X looks good and shields your eyes effectively.

These military standard impact resistant polycarbonate lenses are the standard you should be looking for, but you can buy the common variants from us. 

Why might you want yellow?

Yellow tints are able to make low-light environments appear brighter due to the large amount of light allowed to pass through the lenses. They also increase contrast and depth perception, which is helpful at indoor ranges, in overcast weather, or even in the shade.

--->These come with 2 sizes of both silicon and foam tips. They're great if you aren't sure which size you are.

We're always saying you need inner ear AND outer ear protection. Why is that? Noise reverberates and comes back at you several times, especially at indoor ranges. This leads to fatigue, or worse hearing damage if you're shooting targets for a couple of hours.

Typical earplugs protect your hearing, but they can be a hassle. Sometimes you need to hear and they block too much, so you have to take them out. They’re small and easily lost. They get deformed easily, they are hardly ever comfortable, and they seem to fall out more than they stay in your ear. 

The specs:

• push button to hear, push again to protect
• 19 dB SNR (single number rating) Open
• 30 dB SNR Closed
• includes silicon and foam plugs in 2 sizes - for all fits
• includes carrying case
• made from soft, hypoallergenic, medical grade polymer
• low profile design allows you to keep them in place while wearing a mask, helmet, hat, or while using a phone, headphones or supplemental hearing muffs
• washable and reusable

--->Please note the medium size fits the vast majority of people.

The SureFire EP7 Sonic Defenders Ultra offer the inner ear protection you need to keep safe:

• Patented foam-tipped earplugs that deliver superior hearing protection
• Provide a 28-dB Noise Reduction Rating (NRR)
• Earplugs include attached filter caps for additional protection

Their foam-tipped stem design, featuring soft memory-foam Comply™ Canal Tips, fits most people and provides a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 28 dB. Sounds, at safe levels, are allowed to pass through into the ear canal, while potentially harmful noises (above 85 dB) are reduced via a proprietary design that incorporates a special noise-reducing filter.

EP7s include attached filter caps, which can be inserted for additional protection and blocking out lower-level noise in situations where hearing ambient sounds or conversations isn’t critical.

The bottom line is we find these super comfortable, easy to create a good seal, and they keep us hearing well after many years of shooting - which, you know, is kind of the point.

We're excited about these low-cost and quality hearing protection option. For the price, the comfort and protection is hard to match. We keep a pair of these around at all times in case we take an extra guest to the range and need something in a pinch. 

They're also great for beginners in general, but if you think you'll need to talk with others on the range we recommend upgrading to the Trackr Electronic or above.

As always, we suggest inner ear protection as well if you're shooting indoors.
