Magpul may be best known for its reliable, tough-as-nails magazines but that's not all you'll find within the company's offerings. Along with magazines are hunter and long-range rifle stocks, bipods, grips, sights, rails, slings, handguard, apparel and more.
Joining that latest category is eyewear, with a strong lineup of sunglasses that look great and offer quality protection. Magpul describes the inclusion "because the need for reliable eye protection is rooted in our daily lives. Whether we’re at work or at play, we understand the demand for good-looking eyewear that protects us as across the range of activities that we and our customers engage in every day. As a result, we’ve created ballistic rated eyewear that’s engineered from quality materials and finished with an enduring design."
Here are the three things you'll find in the Magpul lineup:
Magpul Terrain
The Design: The Terrain is designed for our most demanding customers, and it’s well suited for those who require ballistic and safety protection for maximum coverage in a larger frame that best fits medium to large faces. Constructed from TR90NZZ, the strongest thermoplastic material available for eyewear, the Terrain provides extreme impact resistance, durability, and flexibility in a lightweight package.
The Terrain’s oleophobic-treated lenses shed liquid and won’t be degraded by water, sweat, or chemicals, and they’ve been both impact tested and safety rated, providing you with the all-around protection your eyes need. Its 8-base wrap and over molded anti-slip rubber nose and temple pads prevent slippage and make sure the Terrain stays put while you’re in motion. Its lenses come in a range of polarization, color and mirror options to give you the premium clarity and contrast you need from a great pair of shades, supporting many high energy activities in variable light conditions and environments, to include running, hiking, skiing, and other outdoor activities.
On the range, where high levels of ballistic protection are a must, the Terrain will exceed expectations. The design of the Terrain’s low-profile temples integrates well under helmets, headsets, and over-the-ear hearing protection, ensuring that you’re protected and able to perform naturally wherever you put them and yourself to the test.
Key Design Features:
• Constructed of TR90NZZ, the frames combine lightweight construction and ballistic protection, providing rugged strength and flexibility
• Ballistic Rated Z87+ lenses meet both high velocity impact protection and safety ratings
• Oleophobic and anti-glare lenses repel liquids and provide oil, sweat, sunscreen, and other chemical protection
• Low profile temples integrate with over-the-ear hearing protection and communication headsets
• Coated stainless steel pins provide simple but dependable hinge functionality
• Anti-slip rubber nose and temple pads

The Design: The Summit is designed for our most demanding customers, and it’s well suited for those who require ballistic and safety rated protection with coverage from a smaller frame than the Terrain, and is best suited for small to medium faces.
