Evolution Eyewear Helix Shooting Glasses

Evolution Eyewear Helix Shooting Glasses

The Evolution Eyewear Helix Shooting Glasses offer reliable protection and clarity for clay, game, and target shooting. Lightweight and versatile, they’re well-suited to a wide range of lighting conditions. The rimless, full-wrap lens design ensures an unobstructed view, while slim temples make them comfortable to wear all day.

Designed with practical features, the Helix range delivers dependable performance without unnecessary extras.

Tailored for Any Shooting Environment

Available in six lens colours, each option is optimised for different light levels and backgrounds. Whether you’re shooting under floodlights or in bright sun, there’s a Helix lens that works for you.

All lenses use Evolution’s advanced WP3 coating, which resists rain, oil, and fingerprints. They’re easy to clean and built to withstand regular use in the field.

Understanding VLT and Choosing the Right Lens

VLT stands for Visible Light Transmission. It measures how much light passes through the lens, shown as a percentage. A lower VLT% means a darker lens that blocks more light—ideal for bright conditions. A higher VLT% allows more light in, perfect for overcast or low-light situations.

Here’s how each Helix lens colour fits into the VLT scale:

• Grey (11%): Darkest option, for shooting in full sun.
• Vermilion (25%): Suited to bright, sunny days.
• Purple (41%): Helps pick out targets against dark or natural backdrops.
• Orange (51%): A balanced, all-weather choice.
• Yellow (75%): Designed for dull, overcast light.
• Light Yellow (90%): Best for very low light and floodlit ranges.

Lightweight Build with Safety at Its Core

At just 29g, the Evolution Helix Shooting Glasses are barely noticeable when worn. The TR90 temples are strong yet flexible, and their low-profile design sits easily beneath ear defenders.

The Bhive polycarbonate lens material provides enhanced clarity and safety. These glasses exceed EN166F and ANSI Z87.1 standards, giving you reassurance where it counts.
