so, I've always had this love hate relationship with eye pro because the only stuff that fits me, looks decent, and that is actually "graded" hard enough for shooting is insanely expensive. so all I'm saying is that if you guys guys ended up making frames and teaming up with another company for the lenses, or made the entire unit in house, for middle of the pack expensive, and in flat dark earth, this man would be a happy man. again, just saying...

i would very much enjoy it if magpul could make some sunglasses or eyepro of any type that didn't make me feel like a complete douchebag when i'm wearing them.
seems like so many of the modern eyepro designs are built for people who are into the whole 'oakley wraparound' thing. i am certainly not one of those people :( |

Oh and there is plenty of good eye pro out there, sure MOE eye pro would be cool, but I'm more interested in products for my weapons. |

Like Oakley Flak Jackets and M-Frames with the Magpul / Magpul Dynamics logo instead of the Oakley "O"? Siiiiick.... Make that the Radar Paths and I'd be all over it!!! people really like these open bottom style glasses still? 
how about like Gas Can, Oil Rig, Scalpel, or even Jawbone. |

| I run Oakley Fuel Cells for my everyday and shooting glasses........would seem easy enough to have a contract with Oakley for a Magpul run, keep the O's on the sides, make em FDE with a black magpul symbol above the nosepiece. Keep em under $250 with maybe 3 sets of lenses (clear, light tint, and darker polarized tint) and I'm down for an FDE pair...and maybe an OD, Coyote, or flat black pair as well. |
