{"product_id":"ess-crowbar-interchangeable-lens-tactical-sunglasses","title":"ESS Crowbar Interchangeable-Lens Tactical Sunglasses","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe ESS Crowbar is a polycarbonate interchangeable-lens sunglass built for tactical and military use, offering ballistic-rated eye protection in a frameless-bottom design. It ships with both clear and smoke gray lenses, a zippered hard case, an elastic retention strap, and a microfiber cleaning pouch. Two logo and lens configurations are available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for the Field\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Crowbar's polycarbonate lenses are described by ESS as military-grade, delivering ballistic protection across a broad range of conditions. Polycarbonate is the standard lens material for ballistic eyewear because of its impact resistance relative to its weight, and the Crowbar keeps that protection in a lightweight, balanced frame that sits comfortably under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFast Lens Changes via Lens Gate\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eESS's Lens Gate system is designed to make swapping between the included clear and smoke gray lenses faster than a conventional frame-and-lens assembly. The frameless bottom design also opens up the lower field of view, which matters when reading a map, checking a wrist-mounted device, or navigating terrain on foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFits with the Rest of Your Kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Crowbar's light, balanced fit is specifically noted to avoid interference with hats, helmets, hearing protection, and communications gear. For operators or professionals who layer multiple pieces of head-worn equipment, that compatibility is a practical requirement, not a convenience feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterchangeable lenses:\u003c\/strong\u003e includes both clear and smoke gray polycarbonate lenses\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLens Gate system:\u003c\/strong\u003e ESS's mechanism for faster field lens exchanges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrameless bottom design:\u003c\/strong\u003e extends the lower field of view\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBallistic-rated polycarbonate:\u003c\/strong\u003e military-grade lens material per ESS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e zippered hard case, elastic retention strap, and microfiber cleaning pouch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelmet and comms compatible:\u003c\/strong\u003e designed to fit alongside hats, helmets, hearing protection, and comms gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSubdued Logo \/ Clear+Smoke\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSilver Logo \/ Gray Polarized\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSilver Logo \/ Clear+Smoke\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eESS\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eESS\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eESS\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFrame Color\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLens Color\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eClear \/ Smoke Gray\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eGray Polarized\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eClear \/ Smoke Gray\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLogo Style\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSubdued\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSilver\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSilver\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLens Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePolycarbonate\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePolycarbonate\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePolycarbonate\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFrame Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFrameless bottom\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFrameless bottom\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFrameless bottom\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.43 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.28 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.41 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIncluded Accessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eZippered hard case, elastic retention strap, microfiber cleaning pouch\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eZippered hard case, elastic retention strap, microfiber cleaning pouch\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eZippered hard case, elastic retention strap, microfiber cleaning pouch\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eKRC-ESS-EE9019-01\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eKRC-ESS-EE9019-03\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eKRC-ESS-EE9019-02\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe ESS Crowbar suits military personnel, law enforcement, and tactical shooters who need ballistic-rated eye protection that integrates cleanly with helmets, hearing protection, and communications gear.

No specific ballistic certification standard is cited by designation in the available product data; buyers who require a documented certification level (such as MIL-PRF-32432 or ANSI Z87.1) should verify the applicable standard before purchase. The gray polarized variant ships with a single lens rather than the clear-and-smoke dual-lens kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat lenses come with the Crowbar?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe ESS Crowbar in the Subdued Logo and Silver Logo \/ Clear+Smoke configurations includes both a clear lens and a smoke gray lens, along with a zippered hard case, elastic retention strap, and microfiber cleaning pouch. The Silver Logo \/ Gray Polarized variant includes a gray polarized lens; kit contents for that variant are not confirmed to include a second lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow does the Lens Gate system work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eESS's Lens Gate is a proprietary mechanism on the Crowbar designed to make lens exchanges faster than a standard frame-and-lens assembly. The specific release mechanism is not detailed in the available product data.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWill the Crowbar fit under a helmet or alongside hearing protection?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eESS specifically notes that the Crowbar's light, balanced fit is designed not to interfere with hats, helmets, hearing protection, or communications gear. The frameless bottom design also reduces the profile of the frame, which contributes to compatibility with layered head-worn equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat ballistic standard does the Crowbar meet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eESS describes the Crowbar's polycarbonate lenses as military-grade and states they provide a broad range of ballistic protection. No specific ballistic standard designation is cited in the available product data. Buyers with a specific certification requirement should contact us before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhy do the three variants have different listed weights?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe three ESS Crowbar variants are listed at 0.43 lb, 0.41 lb, and 0.28 lb respectively. The gray polarized variant's lower listed weight may reflect a difference in kit contents, but no explanation for the weight difference is provided in the available product data.
