BOLLÉ Combat Tactical Glasses Kit

What ballistic certifications do the BOLLÉ COMBAT glasses have?

The BOLLÉ COMBAT Tactical Glasses Kit (Item #90-0139) is certified to both MIL-PRF-31013 and MIL-PRF-32432 standards. MIL-PRF-31013 is the primary U.S. military fragmentation protection standard for ballistic eyewear lenses. MIL-PRF-32432 is an enhanced standard testing the complete assembly — frame, lens, and retention system — at higher impact velocities. Dual certification under both standards represents the most rigorous ballistic testing available for tactical glasses.

What is the CSP lens in the BOLLÉ COMBAT kit and when should I use it?

CSP (Contrast Sensitivity Performance) is a variable-light tint lens optimized for transitional lighting conditions — operations that move between indoor and outdoor environments, dawn/dusk missions, and scenarios with mixed high-contrast elements like cloud cover alternating with bright sun. The CSP tint selectively filters specific wavelengths that cause visual glare and contrast loss in variable light, providing better target discrimination than a fixed clear or smoke lens in these conditions.

Can prescription lens inserts be used with the BOLLÉ COMBAT glasses?

Yes. The BOLLÉ COMBAT frame is compatible with a Bollé Safety prescription optical insert that clips onto the nose bridge of the glasses. The insert accommodates standard prescription lenses, allowing operators with corrected vision to use the full ballistic protection of the COMBAT platform without requiring prescription ballistic lenses (which are significantly more expensive and have longer lead times). The insert is ordered separately and requires prescription lenses to be fitted by an optician.

How does the dual temple/strap system work?

The BOLLÉ COMBAT includes both rigid ergonomic temple arms and an elastic retention head strap. Temple arms are used for standard glasses wear — appropriate for most tactical and patrol applications where the glasses can be safely donned and doffed quickly. The elastic strap attaches at the temple ends to provide a secure wrap-around retention system compatible with ballistic helmets and communications headsets. This dual system means one pair of glasses covers all wear configurations without requiring separate helmet-mounted eyewear.

Is the Platinum® ASAF anti-fog coating a permanent feature or does it wear off?

Platinum® ASAF is a permanent coating integrated into the lens material at manufacture — it does not wear off with field use, cleaning, or exposure to sweat and humidity the way topical anti-fog sprays and wipes do. This is a critical difference in tactical applications where the operator cannot stop to re-apply anti-fog treatment during a mission. The ASAF coating maintains consistent anti-fog performance across the lens's service life.
