Leupold has officially debuted its new line of performance eyewear, available to consumers in early 2020. Five styles will be available at launch: the Katmai, Becnara, Packout, Switchback and Tracer, all of which are made from lightweight, ballistic-rated materials, and ship with scratch-resistant Diamondcoat-hardened polarized lenses. The addition of a Guard-ion hydrophobic coating sheds dirt, water and fingerprints for a clear, crisp image. A no-slip bridge provides a comfortable fit with soft-touch rubber bridge pads, while Daylight Max technology affords UV protection. The Packout, Switchback and Tracer all meet or exceed ANSI Z87.1 high-velocity impact standards for eye protection, while the Tracer alone adds an additional pair of clear and yellow interchangeable lenses.
