First of all, MADE IN
First of all, MADE IN THE USA.
Second, I caught these on a sale and paid 100 bucks. For 2 pairs. With hard cases and a bunch of swag in the box. Insane!
I received two pairs of Fugitive Tac Ballistic sunglasses - one pair tinted, one pair clear - 2 weeks ago. I have worn the tinted pair every day - at work on patrol, several daytime shooting range events (I instruct LE), boating and chillin’ on my off days.
These frames fit perfectly out of the box. They feel heavy duty, but not heavy on the face. The aluminum frame is robustly built, hinges feel very sturdy and I’m pretty sure they’ll last in my fairly rough environment.
The lenses are super clear, safety rated, dark enough but not blackout.
The temple arms (side eye protection) are wide, but the lenses sweep back far enough so they aren’t a hindrance to peripheral vision. I took a piece of copper jacket frag in the left temple an inch from my eye last year wearing thin temple glasses. It sucked. Wish I had been wearing the Fugitives.
So far, I’ve found these sunglasses to be excellent in every way, except one.
The ends of the temple arms - the very tips - are aluminum of course, and kinda sharp. I don my sunnies one handed fairly often and pushing the arm tip across my temple to get over my ear stung a bit. I can either toughen up or stop one handing it. Two hand spreading the arms over my face to don poses no problem at all. Maybe Outlaw could radius or soften those tips on future models?
Definitely not a deal killer though - I recommend these wholeheartedly.
