Montreal’s Revision Military has signed a five-year agreement with the Swiss Armed Forces to supply all of its protective eyewear.
Beginning in 2014, the company’s Sawfly Eyewear will become the standard issue spectacle to all Swiss troops, an order of approximately 290,000 eyewear kits plus additional accessories.
In 2008, Revision was awarded a contract to supply the Swiss Armed Forces with 10,000 Desert Locust Military Goggles.
Revision is also an exclusive supplier to Canadian, German, British, Dutch, Belgian and Danish forces.
The Sawfly Eyewear System features a lightweight frame, communications equipment-compatible arms and interchangeable ballistic protective lenses. It’s also prescription capable with Revision’s Rx Carrier, 95,000 of which were also included in this contract award. The Sawfly Spectacle provides superior ballistic protection, exceeding EN 166 and military ballistic impact requirements (MIL-PRF-31013, clause 3.5.1.1 and MIL-DTL-43511D, clause 3.5.10); flawless optics for distortion-free vision; and rugged durability to protect and perform through all the rigors of combat.
