ESS Crossbow Replacement Lens, 2.4mm Ballistic Eyeshield Lens

Overview of the ESS Crossbow Replacement Lens | 740-0424

A scratched or fogged lens should not retire a good eyeshield. The ESS Crossbow Replacement Lens lets you lock a fresh 2.4mm ballistic lens into your Crossbow frame and get back to work. The Smoke Gray single lens is model 740-0424, and this listing covers seven ESS lens colors plus a Smoke Gray 10-pack.

ESS states each lens is extra-thick, 2.4mm high-impact polycarbonate with ESSOPTICS for distortion-free clarity and 100% UVA/UVB protection. The DedBolt Lens Lock lets you change tints quickly as the light changes.

Match the Lens to the Light

• Bright sun: Smoke Gray or Polarized Gray
• Low light and indoor ranges: Clear or Hi-Def Yellow
• Added contrast: Hi-Def Copper or Hi-Def Bronze
• Changing light: Photochromic, which ESS builds with Transitions lens technology

Built for Duty and the Range

Patrol officers, military shooters, and range instructors can run one Crossbow frame and carry spare lenses for dawn, midday, and night shifts.

Key Features

• APEL approved colors: ESS states only Clear and Smoke Gray lenses are approved for U.S. military use.
• Nosepiece included: Each lens comes with a black Low-Pro Nosepiece and a protective flannel sleeve.

Military service members who need APEL-approved eye protection can stock Clear and Smoke Gray spares. Range officers and firearms instructors can replace pitted lenses without buying a full eyeshield. Competitive and recreational shooters can pick Hi-Def Yellow or Copper for target contrast, and security professionals who drive or patrol outdoors can choose Polarized Gray to cut glare.
