Gatorz Eyewear
First, Gatorz Blastshield eyewear protects your eyes to a military standard. In fact, each frame is machined from billet aluminium in the USA. The tool-free ICM system swaps lenses in seconds. As a result, you meet the MIL-SPEC ballistic norm and block 100% of UV. Therefore, Para Bellum offers Gatorz Blastshield eyewear in Switzerland with a smoke anti-fog lens and a black Cerakote frame.
Gatorz Eyewear has been building rugged, American-made sunglasses since 1989. What sets the brand apart is the frame: every pair is machined from billet aluminium and hand-assembled in the USA, giving a thin, endlessly adjustable temple without ever compromising strength. Likewise, that same philosophy drives the Blastshield, a purpose-built ballistic platform engineered for military operators, law enforcement and serious shooters. Para Bellum is the official Gatorz reseller in Switzerland, France, Austria and Germany.
American craftsmanship, machined from aluminium
Founded in 1989, the brand is now past its 35th year. From the start, the brand built its reputation on a simple idea: eyewear should be as tough as the people who wear it. Instead of moulded plastic, therefore, Gatorz machines its frames from billet aluminium. The team hand-assembles every pair in the USA. As a result, you get a frame you can bend to fit your face and trust to hold that fit for years.
That craftsmanship carries a lifetime warranty. Gatorz backs the community by supporting military and first-responder organisations. The Blastshield is the brand's flagship ballistic model. In short, it is the choice for operators who need protection, field of view and comfort in one package.
What sets the Gatorz Blastshield apart
Four features define the Blastshield ICM and the reason serious operators choose it.
ICM tool-free lens swap
The Innovative Clamp Mechanism is a single-point floating clamp: remove and replace the lens in seconds, without tools, and let the frame flex to conform to your face.
Billet aluminium frame
Machined from a solid block of aluminium and hand-assembled in the USA, the frame is thin, strong and fully adjustable at the temples and nose for a locked-in fit.
ANSI Z87.1 & MIL-SPEC ballistic
The Blastshield meets the strictest ballistic standards on the market, with high-velocity, impact-resistant lenses built to protect against fragmentation and debris.
Ultra-wide view, anti-fog
A facial-wrap design delivers an ultra-wide field of view and protection from wind, dust and debris, Para Bellum supplies the Blastshield with a smoke anti-fog lens.
