It\u2019s range day! Grab your guns n\u2019 ammo, targets and don\u2019t forget your personal safety equipment. Usually limited to \u201ceyes and ears,\u201d these basic tools keep your shooting events from causing traumatic (eyes) or lingering (ears) damage. I\u2019ve already covered WarBird\u2019s Intrepid<\/a> ear protection, now lets look at the WarBird Ghost Wolf<\/a> eye protection.<\/p>\n \u2013\u00a04SHADOW\u00a0lens technology Ok, a quick breakdown of features before we cover my range days. <\/p>\n First, yes, the WarBird Ghost Wolf is a very large set of eye protection. I had my pick of the litter and chose this set because it\u2019s so dissimilar from the mainstream style that\u2019s so ubiquitous. So, if the large \u2018instructor\u2019 style isn\u2019t for you, rest assured they have more options.<\/p>\n The Ghost Wolf glasses are comfortable. The nose pad is soft and adjustable. The legs are thin, meaning there\u2019s little disruption to your ear seal when wearing ear protection headsets.<\/p>\n I put in my request for these at the beginning of summer, hence the choice of \u2018smoke\u2019 shaded lenses. This was a good decision, as this summer has been an extremely bright and sunny one here in Oregon. While WarBird has a handful of different color choices, smoke was great for cutting down the sun blasting my retinas.<\/p>\n Speaking of a hot summer, one of the most common reasons shooters don\u2019t wear eye pro in the summer? Sweat fog. Shooting glasses that you can\u2019t see through are as useful as an ACOG on a knife. I don\u2019t know much about fancy lens coatings, but I know that the lenses on the Ghost Wolf did a good job of staying clear, even when I was sweating buckets while running drills in 100-degree weather.<\/p>\n As mentioned above, the Ghost Wolf was definitely designed to be used in conjunction with ear muffs. It seemed an obvious decision to try these with the Intrepid ear protection from WarBird. The legs of the Ghost Wolf eyewear are indeed thin enough for gelcups to mold around, keeping an effective ear seal and maintaining good hearing protection.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve also run the Ghost Wolf eye protection with headsets from Howard Leight and Peltor, the results were the same.<\/p>\n The Ghost Wolf is ANSI Z87.1 rated for safety. I don\u2019t work for OSHA, and the specifics of that rating are Greek to me, but I understand well enough the importance of good safety equipment. This was a lesson hammered home yet again while shooting steel at close range. I took some lead spatter to my face, the Ghost Wolf definitely spared me from the worst of it. <\/p>\n I noticed there\u2019s no scratches on the lens afterwards, so I decided to give the Ghost Wolf a little more of a test. I placed the glasses facing towards a steel plate\u2026. <\/p>\n And then I shot the plate a few times with a .22 LR.<\/p>\n The glasses sustained minor damage. A few superficial scratches that brushed off and a collection of very small dents. The Ghost Wolf glasses are still entirely usable. I\u2019m a bit interested in how the lens material dented rather than cracked.<\/p>\n WarBird is heavily committed to the personal protection equipment (PPE) market. Besides the Intrepid ear protection and their many lines of eye protection, WarBird also offers body armor. I\u2019m all for more companies producing good PPE, heavy emphasis on the good<\/em>. So far, the Intrepid muffs have held up nicely, and I can finally vouch for the WarBird Ghost Wolf eye protection as well.<\/p>\n While the \u201cinstructor\u201d style of the glasses is subjective, the comfort and performance are up to snuff. Your eyeballs are safely shielded behind the durable lens of the Ghost Wolf, and your field of view is gonna stay fog free. The Ghost Wolf comes in 10 colors, and runs only $99<\/a>.
