ESS CDI

Redesigned and Better Than Ever

The resilient, battle-hardened CDI™ sunglass has a long track record of saving eyes and lives in hostile situations. Following a series of comprehensive overhauls, the redesigned CDI™ has never been better.

The ESS CDI's U.S. MIL SPEC* high-impact lenses can be easily exchanged for quick adaptation to your environment. Its high-speed low-drag frame and shatter-resistant lenses make the CDI™ comfortable and cool enough for downtime yet functional and rugged enough for the battlefield. Medium fit.

The CDI's Lateral Exchange System™ makes interchanging any of the seven available lens colors quick and easy:

New Improvements Include:

New cam-hinge temples feature SmartTension™ engineering for enhanced retention and a more comfortable fit.
New co-molded nosepiece and full-wrap temple sleeves feature advanced no-slip rubber that provides maximum slip resistance, even when moist.
Redesigned strap attachment system provides more secure engagement of strap and frame.
Now includes a zippered hard case and a micro-fiber pouch/cleaning cloth.

CDI Rx Inserts are also available.

* U.S. Mil Spec MIL-PRF-31013 (Clause 3.5.1.1), ANSI Z87.1-2010, CE EN 166 and U.S. Federal OSHA compliant (when not used in conjunction with Rx Inserts). All ESS lenses provide 100% UVA/UVB protection.

Important safety note for CDI™ Rx Insert users operating in proximity to fragmentation hazards:

ESS strongly recommends the use of high-impact polycarbonate prescription lenses to optimize impact resistance in the CDI™ sunglass. High-impact polycarbonate prescription lens material will maximize the impact resistance of the system well beyond that offered by CR-39 resin or other common materials used in prescription lens manufacturing.
