USGI Sun Wind and Dust Goggles

US Army Issue Goggles

These are the US Army's sun, wind and dust goggles, the eye protection troops wear when grit, glare and blowing debris make bare eyes a liability. A flexible rubber frame seals around the eyes and a single wide lens keeps the view open. They suit vehicle crews, riders, range users and anyone working in dusty, open ground, and they belong in any collection of US issue kit.

Features

• Genuine US Army Issue — Originally issued government equipment rather than a commercial lookalike, which is what collectors and reenactors look for.
• Sun, Wind And Dust Role — Built to keep sand, dust and wind-driven debris out of the eyes during vehicle movement, rotor wash and open-ground work.
• Black Rubber Frame — The soft frame flexes to follow the shape of the face and closes the gap where dust would otherwise get in.
• Single Wide Clear Lens — One continuous lens spans both eyes, giving a broad field of view without a center divider.
• Lens Snap Studs — Two metal studs are set into the front of the frame at the lens.
• OD Green Webbing Strap — The olive drab strap matches standard US field kit and wraps around the head or over a helmet.
• Adjustable Slide Buckle — A slider on the strap lets you set the tension for a bare head, a cap or a helmet.
• National Stock Number — Carries NSN 8465-01-004-2893, the military supply number used to identify this exact item.

Issue Specification

The design is simple on purpose: a molded black rubber body, a single clear lens and an OD green elastic webbing strap with a slide adjuster. Nothing on it needs batteries, tools or setup, so it works the moment it comes out of a pack. Because it was made to the Army's own pattern, the goggle looks right alongside US helmets and load gear for reenactment, display or everyday dusty work.
