Sun Valley, ID – Eye Safety Systems, Inc. (ESS) will soon be announcing the introduction of the Advancer V-12™ dual-mode goggle. Developed for modern warfare and tactical operations, the innovative eye protection system resolves the classic eyewear dilemma: how can one product function as a fully-enclosed goggle yet have the fog-resistant properties of an open sunglass?
ESS has answered this challenge with its patented AVS™ Adjustable Ventilation System. The AVS™ frame design allows the user to choose between two lens positions: Closed, to seal out dust and debris, or Advanced, for free circulation of fresh air to keep lenses from fogging. Users can easily change the AVS™ mode by simply clicking the lens between the closed or advanced (open) lens positions.
The Advancer V-12™ would look at home on the face of a street motorcycle rider, but the product’s features are tailored for the serious business of warfighting, law enforcement and fire/rescue.
