At SHOT Show this year Beretta had not one, but two high-tech new safety products. Previously we took a look at their Off Shot active hearing protection, and here we’re checking out their B-On active sunglasses. That’s right, they go from nearly clear to shaded sunglasses in under 0.1 seconds, while also offering full ballistic protection.
The B-On lenses can switch between shaded and nearly clear either automatically or manually via a button. In either case, they switch almost instantly. In auto mode, the user can adjust the lighting threshold at which the shades do their thing.
The battery lasts for approximately 72 of use, and recharging can be done via a standard micro USB cable. Power is used only in shaded mode. Should the battery die on you, the lenses revert to clear.
Beretta’s B-On glasses are slated to arrive in May, and MSRP should be about $399.
