Randolph Engineers curate the development of specific colors and performance attributes based on light conditions and changing environment, highlighting specific wavelengths of visible light to enhance vision and contrast.
SKYTEC™ LENS TECHNOLOGY
Optimize your point of view.
Whether you’re taking to the skies in an F-18 or touring the jungles of Borneo, SkyTec™ provides you with the ultimate visual experience.
STANDARD-ISSUE TO THE US MILITARY SINCE 1978.
Developed with Military Aviation in mind to safeguard a pilot’s most precious asset - their vision.
SKYTEC™ HERITAGE LENS TINTS
AGX
This ‘relaxing’ green lens selectively highlights the soothing green/yellow wavelengths of the spectrum to reduce eye fatigue and improve visual performance.
AMERICAN GRAY
Our signature neutral gray lens, originally engineered for military pilots. Maintains ‘true’ color and contrast distribution throughout all light and terrain conditions.
AMERICAN TAN
Provides contrast enhancement and depth perception superior to other lens colors for a warm, sharp and crisp view, even on cloudy days.
3 LENS MATERIALS
Outstanding clarity designed for the highest performance in purposefully engineered lens materials.
SKYTEC™ GLASS
Mineral Glass Lenses
Our most popular lens material. Individually ground and polished to the exacting standards of a camera lens. The absolute clearest optics possible with maximum scratch-resistance.
SKYFORCE™ NYLON
Lite Lenses
Combining light-weight comfort with outstanding optics in an advanced lens material that is 40% lighter than our glass lenses. Perfect for wearing all-day long in total comfort.
SKYFORCE™ NYLON GRADIENT
Lite Gradient Lenses
A gradient is added to our SkyForce™ light-weight lenses: a darker tint at the top of the lens offers sun protection, while the lighter bottom is perfect for reading or viewing up-close objects.
EXPERIENCE THE SKYTEC™ DIFFERENCE
Lens technology with state-of-the-art protection and proprietary coatings.
VECTOR™ OPTICAL COATING
Stops harmful glare from behind.
This proprietary multi-layer coating is applied to each lens to block harmful reflected light and ‘bounce-back’ glare from entering your eye from behind. VECTOR™ reduces eye-strain and improves visual acuity with the added benefit of built-in hydrophobic, anti-static, and scratch-resistant properties.
BLUE WAVE™ TECHNOLOGY
Filters damaging ‘blue light’ to preserve eye health.
With Blue Wave™ technology, each SkyTec™ lens reduces eye strain, improves sleep patterns and increases overall visual acuity. Our lenses protect your eyes from potentially harmful ‘blue’ and High Energy Visible (HEV) light, that can potentially cause macular degeneration and eye damage.
UVA/UVB PROTECTION
Effective defense from harmful rays.
Our premium lenses act like sunblock for your eyes, blocking damaging UVA and UVB rays. You wouldn’t go out in the sun all day without protecting your skin, we believe your eyes should be protected in the same way.
INFRARED RAYS (IR) MANAGEMENT
Eliminates dry eye conditions or tired eyes.
SkyTec™ Glass lenses provide additional protection from Infrared Rays (commonly known as Heat Radiation or Heat Waves) that can potentially cause dry eye conditions or tired eyes.
VISUAL LIGHT TRANSMISSION
Percentage of light allowed to pass through the lens.
The lower the Visual Light Transmission, the darker your lens will be. Both polarized and non-polarized lenses have VLT percentages. Low-light conditions call for a higher percentage while high-light conditions are best suited for a lower percentage.
OLEOPHOBIC COATING
Finger smudge resistance.
Randolph’s Oleophobic coating helps the lenses to stay clean, clear and smudge free. Resisting oil from being absorbed on the lens and creating smudges, such as greasy finger prints.
POLARIZED LENS TECHNOLOGY
Experience glare-free clarity.
Randolph polarized lenses contain a special filter that blocks horizontal glare from surfaces such as a flat road or smooth water, providing a crisper field of view without the painful brightness that makes you squint or your eyes water.
HYDROPHOBIC COATING
Enables moisture to roll off lenses.
A cut above the rest, our Hydrophobic coatings are applied to the outside of Randolph lenses to stop water from sitting on the lens - instead it quickly rolls off without leaving residue.
DROP-BALL TESTED
Complete defense from harmful rays.
Every batch of our SkyTec™ glass lenses is impact-tested with a 5/8-inch steel ball from 50 inches to meet FDA and ANSI safety standards. To safeguard our customers vision, we demand the best quality lenses. Glass lenses are impact resistant not shatterproof.
NOT ALL POLARIZED LENSES ARE CREATED EQUAL.
With 45 years’ experience in providing outstanding products to the military and sunglass industry, Randolph polarized lenses are in a class of their own. Polarized lenses are critical for professions and sports that are conducted in and on reflective surfaces, especially sailing, boating, fishing, snow sports, driving and car racing.
