Revision Military, a purveyor of superior eyewear safety methods, has launched a complete new set of lenses designed in a totally new style. Instead of blocking out sure colours to extend distinction, as many typical lens applied sciences do, Revision’s new I-VIS lenses improve mild transmission and colours, permitting the wearer to have higher situational consciousness within the subject. This can yield wonderful outcomes for the wearer not solely on the battlefield, but in addition in a looking and fishing context. Disturbed earth, fur, rubs, and different animal signal will be seen simpler when your eye has extra colour and readability to select from. Not solely that, however Revision’s eyewear design offers minimal distortion and minimal fogging, permitting for ANSI Z87.1 ballistic safety always, whether or not you’re on the hunt on in your scope.
Revision was sort sufficient to ask us business professionals out to the mountains of central Idaho to indicate off their new I-VIS expertise. We obtained to check the lens in an merchandise recognition lane, on a mountain-goat recognizing hike, and on the vary with rifles, shotguns, and an iron sighted SMG. Let’s check out the brand new lenses and see how they did.
I-VIS: AI-enhanced tints to boost colour and readability
I-VIS differs from typical lens tints in that, whereas the lenses present 100% UV-A-B-C safety, the I-VIS lenses increase the variety of colours out there to the attention, even mores than the bare eye can choose up with out an I-VIS lens. In follow, this meant that when carrying Revision Stingerhawks with I-VIS lenses put in, one might see enhanced colours, particularly within the red-brown spectrum with a majority of the lens varieties. Per Revision:
Isn’t it time in your lenses to work as laborious as you do?
When you’re within the subject, your mind is continually working: figuring out threats, making fast choices, and taking decisive motion. No
matter the place you might be on the planet you want all of your senses to be working in peak kind.
Every theater of operation has a variety of colours and lighting that outline the general atmosphere:
•
JUNGLES AND FORESTS
include lush greens with canopied lighting
•
DESERTS
are a sea of tans and browns lit by open sky
•
ALPINE
areas are crisply lit scree fields of browns and greys above the treeline
•
URBAN
areas are dominated by grays and variable mild circumstances
•
ARCTIC
areas function huge snowfields of white and blue
While it will make sense in your eyewear to be adaptable to every of those environments, most protecting lenses depart all of the work
to your eyes and mind to adapt, resulting in eye fatigue.
That’s why we developed our new I-Vis lens expertise. Using synthetic intelligence, we’re in a position to shortly decide one of the best lens
colour for every atmosphere based mostly on the colour palette of the situation together with the potential mild circumstances.
The result’s a system of lenses that let you expertise higher colour depth in a given atmosphere versus the bare eye. This
higher colour notion offers quicker recognition of threats, each static and energetic. For instance, a soldier utilizing the environmentally
applicable lens is extra more likely to discover the distinction between two shades of brown that signifies the disturbed earth round a
buried IED, or it can make a set off wire stand out from background colours extra readily.
It’s eyewear innovation at a complete new stage.
A variety to check out
Revision plans on rolling out I-VIS throughout a variety of goggle and glass types within the following colours, descriptions per Revision: (VLT = Visible Light Transmission)
Verso: Our most technically complicated lens designed to thrive within the widest vary of environments and settings. This lens excels at separating colours, increasing the amount of colour seen to the wearer in lots of environments. If you’re not sure of the mission profile, that is the lens to make use of.

Cano: Modeled to supply colour definition in an atmosphere dominated by greens, browns, and grays. Visual mild transmission is maximized for this lens since operations will likely be carried out in densely forested areas the place the cover closely shades the terrain. Man-made constructions will stand out, as will variations within the foreground panorama. (VLT: 37%*)
Alto: Suited to dry, high-altitude environments dominated by grays, tans, and blues similar to these present in northern Afghanistan. This lens brings out variations in prevalent panorama colours to assist troops learn terrain and see man-made constructions, roads, and other people. (VLT: 12%*)

(VLT: 48%*)
*VLT could range +/- 5% based mostly upon eyewear kind issue, lens thickness and coatings.
On The Trail and On the Hunt
Revision was sort sufficient to take us out on a mountain-goat recognizing hike for an preliminary subject check of the I-VIS expertise. Immediately upon placing on the Stingerhawks with the I-VIS lenses, I observed the improved colours. Most putting to me was how far-off I might see stands of untamed rose bushes and different habitat-defining flora. This is a serious boon to a hunter when observing a big space for animal habitat. I used to be in a position to determine mule deer and upland sport chicken habitat at speeds and distances that I might have been unable to do with the bare eye. Having the selection of the Umbra and Cano lenses additionally helped vastly when climbing again by way of the extra densely wooded parts of the path when the clouds rolled in and the mountains darkened.
The I-VIS lenses additionally make sure animal pelts, similar to elk fur, in addition to animal tracks come out. I used the I-VIS lenses throughout a majority of this 12 months’s large sport looking season, and was in a position to shortly spot each sport and tracks in a wide range of lighting circumstances. It’s one thing that needs to be skilled to totally admire, however at the very least to my eye, the I-VIS expertise aided me vastly in a looking context. It’s eye safety you’ll need to depart on throughout your hunt.

At the vary with I-VIS
The minimal picture distortion of Revision’s lenses, mixed with Revision’s OCUMAX expertise, makes I-VIS outfitted glasses wonderful for on-range (and downrange) use. One ought to at all times put on eye and ear safety on the vary, but all too usually shooters take away eyewear when behind a high-powered scope. This is because of the truth that most lenses scale back colour and readability to the attention, and plenty of will fog in a state of affairs when one’s face is on the inventory, or throughout dynamic taking pictures. Not so with the I-VIS outfitted Stingerhawks. I discovered that the “Umbra” lens was splendid for each Laser Rangefinder and scope use.
SIG was sort sufficient to supply us with their “Born and Raised” collection of CROSS rifles chambered in 6.5 creedmoor, topped with their TANGO6 5-30×56 optic, in addition to their KILO8K rangefinders to check out. Looking by way of the I-VIS lenses decreased eye fatigue for me, in addition to enhanced the colours of the dust hitting across the longer-range targets, permitting for faster shot corrections and extra pictures on the right track.
Revision additionally had a world-renowned eye Doctor who makes a speciality of shooter consciousness, Dr. Richard Colo available. Dr. Colo was concerned with the method of designing lenses that improve shooter consciousness. Dr. Colo ran us by way of some shotgun drills on the 5-stand vary, and helped us see how the I-VIS expertise enhanced element of the clays, and gave our brains extra element to acknowledge, particularly in peripheral imaginative and prescient. Why does this matter? It allow us to see the distinction between having sufficient element notion to “let” the shot occur, quite than conventionally aiming to bust the clay. Personally, I had good success with making an attempt this technique out.
Lastly, we tried Revision’s lenses out whereas aiming a B&T KH9SD SMG outfitted with iron sights underneath a shaded cover. The sights had ok definition with the lenses on, and an excellent time was had quietly whacking metal downrange. I additionally used the I-VIS lenses for taking pictures glasses on 5 extra vary journeys with varied firearms and was happy with their efficiency.
Overall Impressions
Both on the occasion and over a number of weeks of driving, farming, taking pictures, and looking, I’ve grown to essentially admire the improved colour definition offered by Revision’s new I-VIS expertise. Be certain to present it a attempt, it’s one thing that needs to be seen to be believed.
