Crossbow 2LS Kit

The ESS Crossbow is the most widely issued ballistic eyewear in the US military and the default civilian benchmark for shooting glasses. The 2-Lens Kit ships with clear and smoke gray polycarbonate lenses, both ANSI Z87.1+ rated and certified to MIL-PRF-32432 for high-velocity fragmentation, the same impact standard that governs combat eyewear on the Authorized Protective Eyewear List.

The frame is low-profile and pairs cleanly with electronic ear muffs and helmet retention. Lens swaps are tool-less, and the ClearZone FlowCoat treatment delivers genuinely durable anti-fog plus anti-scratch performance, two coatings that fail first on cheaper glasses. The Crossbow shares its lens platform with the Crosshair and Suppressor models, so any ESS replacement lens fits.

At about $85 for the 2-lens kit, the Crossbow is the right starting point for any shooter who needs one set of glasses to cover indoor ranges, outdoor rifle work, and low-light dawn or dusk sessions. The Suppressor 2-Lens Kit usually costs more but adds a frame-mounted side shield for additional debris protection if you shoot from cover or run gas-heavy SBRs.
