Bullet-Proof Shades

The Japan Self-Defense Force Sunglasses are Endorsed by the Military

Even if you don’t engage in military combat on a daily basis, you can still protect your eyes from sharp flying objects—namely surprise bullets—with the Japan Self-Defense Force Sunglasses.

Officially endorsed by the Japanese military, the Japan Self-Defense Force Sunglasses are so strong that their fracture-less lenses can stand up to a 0.3 inch-diameter object hitting the lens at 106mph. According to the Japan Trend Shop, the shades won’t even shatter if you drop a shaft of iron on them from 1.27 meters.
