Before I got my Edge Eyewear Legends from FRAG OUT! boys, I had had no idea about the existence of that company (and mind that 20018 is the 20th anniversary of its establishment). Its HQ is located in Layton, UT, USA. If someone had asked me about ESS, Oakley, Wiley X, Smith Optics or Bolle, I would have said "yeah, I have known those companies for years", but the first time I became familiar with Edge Tactical Eyewear was summer 2017. It is when I got my Edge Legends – I have been using them until now and, basically, I have permanently included them in my every day kit. DESIGn Legends are certified eye protection. They feature non- aggressive design, so they are good for the shooting range as well as for everyday use. You can argue that typical eyewear for shooting purposes can use in everyday situations. However, if you have to dress officially (I have to), then you look rather odd with such uber-tactical glasses. But the thing is different with Edge Legends. The frames are made of black and matte (or sateen) Grilamid TR90 nylon. Grilamid offers good stiffness and flexibility, as well as high resistance to damages (especially when it comes to tensile and flexural strength) and it is anti-allergic (that is what amazes me the most, back in the days when I was young, it would be difficult to find someone who was allergic to strange things, but today...). What is more, TR90 is very light so the weight of the glasses is low (only 34 g). The frames have been anatomically shaped and they "recreate" the oval of the sides and the facial part of the skull. Temples are straight, bent to the inside, so the glasses fit well on the head. The temple ends are slightly bent to the outside. Thanks to that feature, putting them on is easier and they do not constrict the head. An important note – the temples, when folded, have no contact with the lenses so they will not scratch www.fragoutmag.com
