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.

Best sunglasses ever!
As soon as I put my Specters on my first thought was, WOW! What a great fit! I don't leave the house without them. One sunny day I stepped out the door and almost got blinded. I forgot my Specter sunglasses. Went right back into the house and got my Specters. Haven't forgotten them since. Got a lot of comments about them. I highly recommend Gatorz. I know one thing, I'm definitely going to purchase another pair of Gatorz! They are a great product. So what are you waiting for? Get a pair of Gatorz and See for yourself!

Comfortable and well made
Purchased these after seeing watching some Travis Kennedy videos and discovering a close friend bought the Magnums and recommended them. I am very happy with my purchase. I find the metal frames to be well made and I sincerely appreciate these are, and state, that they're made in the USA. So far - very comfortable and I am happy with my purchase. I don't skimp out on sunglass anymore after suffering retina damage due to long sunlight exposures. I prefer polarized lenses, black lenses and black frames - nothing flashy. These work perfect. I plan on buying more in the future.

LOVE!
I typically avoid wearing eye protection when shooting rifles in the prone position because the frames of all of my other shooting glasses impede my line of sight. These are the first pair I have worn that don’t. Also, I love the photochromic lenses, just enough protection in the sun and the ability to see in low light conditions without changing glasses or lenses is a welcome bonus. Kudos to the Gators team for an exceptional experience!

Robust and comfortable
Very robust and well-built glasses. The possibility of making adjustments allows for greater comfort. The optimized polarized lenses give you the versatility to read screens with polarized image quality. A great choice for a wide range of uses.

Best glasses made
Second pair I have owned. Bought Wraptors first. I am a US army Infantry veteran and served 37 years in law enforcement. I used Ray Bans for years until I discovered Gatorz. Gatorz put Ray Bans to shame. I went through a lot of Ray Bans, they just don't stand up to the rigors of the job. No ballistic protection, no photo chromatic option. Frames were weak. Once I found Gatorz I never looked back. Indestructible frame, ballistic protection (I shoot a lot), comfortable, custom adjustable fit, great styles, rubber seal for 2 models. Rubber sheal is important riding ATVs here, especially hunting in the winter. Love the Cerekote color choices. I don't feel pressure points after hours of wearing. Best glasses made. Lifetime warranty shows Gatorz believe in their product. Discounts for military, veterans and law enforcement are great! Keep up the great work!

Great product
I have the lowlight lenses and they have been great for indoor ranges and CQC. The specter frame provides better eye coverage and the lenses help my eyes pick up my red dot easier on a lower power and in low light conditions.

Hands down best pair of shades I've bought in over a decade. Same look as my Oakley batwolf shades but infinitely better quality, more heavy duty feeling. I don't feel like I have to treat them like they're made of ceramic. First fit out of the box was slightly off canter, but as they advertised they are very adjustable. The frame fit, the dog ears fit and the nose piece are all very adjustable. Love the double hinge on both sides, looks good and definitely not a weak point in my opinion. The OPZ polarization for sure is as advertised. No blackout points looking at a digital screen as with other overpriced brands. Sight through water so far looks good, haven't been fishing yet so we'll see how we'll I can sight fish with them. Overall I'm beyond impressed with these shades. I'm definitely a Gatorz loyalist long as they keep this quality at their core. Luxoticca anything is absolute garbage in comparison.

Magnums are better
I’ve always had magnums, and I tried these, I’m not a fan, they don’t sit, feel or function like the magnums. My fault for ordering them, I shoulda stuck with what I know and love for almost 20 years and several pairs
