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.

Rig
Third pair of Gatorz, I use them everyday whether casual or working in EMS. They are solid metal and great quality. Expensive but they last several years with daily abuse. Worked well in the military and they work well in EMS.

Rig is GREAT!
I really enjoy \ like this frame and I LOVE the OPX2 lenses! I have a “heads up” display in my car that I’ve never been able to enjoy until now. Also, I appreciate being able to see my cell phone screen without taking off my glasses while not compromising on polarization…it’s like magic!

Lightweight and durable
Oakley’s been trippin lately so I made the switch, didn’t disappoint, they feel lightweight and strong. The first time seeing a pair of Gators was on my DS in OSUT, I was thinking “dude’s got his long tab and his ranger tab, those glasses gotta be reliable”, and they certainly are, I don’t see myself wearing anything else for a long time. 10/10 would recommend this product.

Love them!
I was skeptical at first being bigger than the Deltas which were my go to. After wearing them, they won out. Not so big, light and fit way more comfortably than I anticipated. Wife now wears the deltas. Cerakote is much smoother on this frame than previous models. Well done.

Gatorz Rig Review
I have bought several different Gatorz sunglasses over the years. All have been great but the Rig is my new favorite. Comfortable, durable and backed by a great company.

Best Sunglasses
I have been a long time Oakley fan, but have noticed a drastic drop in quality. I have tried several other brands before finally giving Gatorz a shot. I wish I had done it sooner. My Rigs feel solidly built with good craftsmanship. I was concerned about the metal construction having past cheaper metal sunglasses soon get bent out of shape. I do not anticipate this issue. I also was blessed with a giant nogin and the Rigs are perfectly sized for my big head. Not sure other styles would work, but would stongly consider another pair of Rigs or trying out antoher of their wide stlyes.

Great everyday casual sun glasses
This is my third pair of gatorz, they never fail to disappoint. Quality craftsmanship, ever since I was introduced to these glasses every single other sunglass company has been put on the back burner. If you’re on the fence don’t even hesitate, you will not be disappointed.

Son
My son is deployed and actually love’s these sunglasses and has asked for another pair for Christmas…I think this will be his third pair. Marines love Gators!!!! Thank you so much for providing quality for our service members.
