When your job is to protect others, extended shifts are standard. Long shifts mean dealing with constant changes lighting. Conditions from dawn to the brightest light midday to dusk into evening require a variety of options in order to reduce fatigue, block out the sun and protect your eyes. However, keeping track of multiple pairs of glasses while there are more important things on the line can create a distraction, detouring you from your task at hand.

Rescue workers and emergency responders are the first to arrive on the scene following a catastrophe. They often find themselves in unfamiliar surroundings, dangerous conditions, or extreme weather conditions. Time is of the essence for Search and Rescue (SAR) personnel so being equipped with the right gear is essential for a successful mission. Critical to everyone’s safety is the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that SAR teams utilize to minimize risks and aid performance.
