I support American made products every chance that I get. When I first saw the Gatorz<\/a> Ansi Z87.1 Milspec Ballistic Spector were USA made, I had to learn more about them, and I am glad that I did.<\/p>\n

These are some badass ballistic shades made for badass Americans who need ballistic protection. These glasses are built as tough as they look and if you think you look tough, they will make you look tougher.<\/p>\n

Built for the range and everyday life, Gatorz hit it out of the park with these.<\/p>\n

And Yes, Gatorz<\/a> sunglasses are APEL approved\u00a0and widely used in the army and among special operations forces<\/p>\n
