This lightweight high-impact sunglass is the first of its class. Designed tough for the military, the CDI is quickly becoming the firefighter's sunglass.

Its high-speed low-drag frame and shatter-resitant lenses make the CDI comfortable and cool enough for downtime yet functional and rugged enough for use on the job.
The CDI's Lateral Exchange System allows quick lens interchange:

Dear ESS,
My name is SSgt Solomon, Im a Marine from 29 Palms, California. I was in Iraq when I purchased the ESS CDI sunglasses. The glasses saved my eyesight.
We were going down one of the main highways from Ramadi to Fallujah when an IED blew up next to my LAV25. I was engulfed in flames. I received shrapnel to the arms and face. The CDI smoke gray lenses have burnt spots where either hot metal or tar hit. I wish I had pictures; we had no time--we got into a firefight just after I was hit by the IED.
Thank you for making a good product, the glasses protected my baby blues.
