Photochromic Lens
When used indoors, the Inferno lens provides clear eye protection without any tint. When exposed to UV rays, the color of the lens automatically darkens, providing protection from the sun. This popular lens keeps your eyes protected in changing environments or weather. This functional offering is a favorite for its versatility in a variety of settings spanning both on the job and personal use.
Uses:
- Transitioning from indoor to outdoor activities
- Maintaining eye protection from day to night
- Appropriate coverage in hazy or changing weather conditions
Important Information:
- Photochromic lenses are temperature dependent; they look darkest in colder temperatures
- Photochromic lenses use UV light from the sun to activate; they will not transition if restricted by car windshields with UV blockers, underneath a hat, or any other instance where direct sunlight is not present
- VLT ranges from 85% (Clear) to 15% (Dark) across an approximate 60 second transition time.

Be the first to review this itemFilter Reviews:×Clear filterMore Filters01/19/2025JMUnited StatesBlastshield glasses are amazing
These glasses are comfortable and feel high quality. I like the lense quality and the protection they offer. I purchased the Ballistic Smoke Polarized and Ballistic Smoke Polarized W/Gold Mirror. The lenses themselves are amazing. I will say while the frame is comfortable, I have noticed a slight flaw in the design that happens depending on how the frame has been adjusted to your head. Essentially what I've noticed is that the aluminum frame can sometimes hit the inside of the lens over and over which imprints a scratch on them. Location where you're going to see scratch wear and tear are on the edges of the frame where the lens overlaps. Overall, I would recommend the purchase as these are work glasses, just make sure to take then lens off before you do flex bends for your head shape.

Ballistics / Photochromic w/Anti-Fog / Black Cerakote w/Black Logo12/10/2024BUnited StatesIm loving the blastsheild, yes I was skeptical at first given the price point and lack of content I was able to find online but that quickly faded when I pulled them out of the box. To start with the obvious it’s built like a tank and I believe whole heartedly that these will last many years. Now the best part and why I primarily picked these up, the blastsheild offers so much versatility when on the job site, at the range or day to day activities, it simply just couldn’t be beat in my opinion. Well done Gatorz, I can’t wait to try out some of the other models!

Solid product with functional and modern design. Quality is very high. Only issue is that the side temples/bars are a bit tight and pushing against the head. Hopefully it will adjust as I wear or I can flex it to open up for more comfort.
