Developed Through Spectral Analysis
SPECTRA+ Lens Technology
SPECTRA+ is X Sight’s advanced spectral filtering technology, designed to improve colour separation, contrast and target definition.
Our eyes can find it harder to distinguish colours where wavelengths overlap. SPECTRA+ uses selective wavelength filtering to manage these areas of the visible spectrum, reducing distracting wavelengths while allowing important colour and contrast information to stand out more clearly.
For shooting, selected SPECTRA+ lenses are tuned to help reduce blue-green background interference and increase the separation of orange-red targets, helping targets stand out more clearly against skies, trees and other challenging backgrounds.
Selective Wavelength Filtering – Manages specific areas of the visible spectrum to improve colour separation and contrast.
Enhanced Target Definition – Helps increase separation between orange-red targets and challenging backgrounds.
Balanced Colour – Enhances useful contrast without simply making the entire view more heavily saturated.
More Than Just a Tint
Colour Precision
Lens colour plays a major role in how you see targets, backgrounds and changing light. That’s why our lens colours are developed specifically for shooting rather than simply for appearance.
Colour is incorporated into the lens during manufacture for consistent, lasting performance, while selected lenses combine carefully developed base colours with SPECTRA+ technology and Diamond REVO coatings for more advanced light management.
Purpose-Developed Colours – Lens colours selected and refined around real shooting conditions, targets and backgrounds.
Consistent Colour – Mould-injected tints provide consistent colour throughout the lens rather than relying solely on a surface treatment.
Advanced Lens Options – Selected colours combine base tints with spectral filtering and specialist coatings to further control light and contrast.
Advanced Optical Finishes
Diamond REVO Coatings
Diamond REVO is an advanced multi-layer mirror coating applied to the outer surface of selected X Sight lenses.
Ultra-thin reflective layers create the distinctive REVO mirror finish while also controlling how different wavelengths of light are reflected and transmitted through the lens.
Rather than simply making your view darker, the coating helps manage intense light and glare, reduce visual fatigue and improve contrast. Different REVO coatings are paired with carefully selected base lens colours to influence which parts of the visible spectrum are reduced and which are allowed through.
For shooting, this can help suppress distracting background colours, improve separation between the target and its surroundings, and make targets appear more defined and easier to track.
Multi-Layer Mirror Coating – Ultra-thin reflective layers manage incoming light while creating the distinctive REVO appearance.
Light & Glare Management – Helps reduce distracting light and glare while maintaining useful visual information.
Purpose-Matched Performance – Different REVO finishes are paired with different base lens colours to create specific visual characteristics for different shooting conditions.
Precision-Engineered Filtrations
Science-Driven Lens Colours for Every Shooting Condition
Every lighting condition presents a unique visual challenge, which is why one lens colour cannot do it all. Our range of precision-tuned lenses is the result of extensive optical research and real-world testing, designed to enhance target visibility, contrast, and shooting accuracy across different environments.
- Optimised Filtrations for Performance – Each lens is carefully designed to enhance specific colour wavelengths, making key details—like clay targets, terrain, and background contrast—stand out.
- Scientific Colour Tuning – Need orange clays to pop against a green background? Want to reduce harsh glare in bright sunlight? Our lenses are engineered for real-world advantages.
- Shooter-Tested, Field-Proven – Developed through extensive collaboration with competitive shooters, ensuring each lens performs flawlessly in live shooting conditions.

Engineered for better vision
Optical Clarity
All X Sight shooting glasses use high-quality Optical Class 1 polycarbonate lenses, giving you excellent optical clarity together with the impact resistance and low weight required from specialist shooting eyewear.
We use spherical lens geometry across our shooting eyewear range, helping provide a wide field of view with clear, accurate vision across the lens.
Optical Class 1 – High optical quality designed to provide clear, accurate vision with minimal distortion.
Spherical Lens Geometry – Carefully curved lens profiles provide wide coverage while helping maintain visual clarity across the field of view.
Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate – Lightweight, durable lens construction well suited to the demands of shooting sports.
UVA & UVB Protection – Built-in protection from harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Engineered for Safety
Impact Protection
Shooting eyewear needs to do more than provide clear vision. X Sight shooting glasses use impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses and are designed to provide wide protective coverage while maintaining the optical clarity required for shooting.
Our current shooting eyewear complies with EN ISO 16321-1 and ANSI Z87.1, internationally recognised standards for protective eyewear.
Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate – Strong, lightweight lens material designed to withstand impact without the weight of conventional glass lenses.
Wide Protective Coverage – Shooting-specific lens shapes provide extensive coverage while maintaining a clear field of view.
International Standards – Current X Sight shooting eyewear complies with EN ISO 16321-1 and ANSI Z87.1.
