GATORZ Magnum | Ballistic Wraparound Tactical Sunglasses
The Frame That Started It All.
The GATORZ Magnum is the original. Built from the ground up for professionals who demand more from their gear, this ballistic wraparound sunglass has become a staple for military, law enforcement, and serious end users who need protection that does not quit.
Designed with a full wrap-fit frame, the Magnum delivers maximum coverage and strong peripheral awareness without distortion. It locks in, stays put, and keeps your focus where it needs to be.
Constructed from a precision CNC machined aluminum frame, it is lightweight but extremely durable. Finished with Cerakote and anodized coatings, this frame is built to handle hard use, harsh environments, and long days in the field.
The impact-resistant lenses provide full UV protection while offering optional coatings like anti-fog and hydro-oleophobic treatments to maintain clarity in demanding conditions. Whether you are running range days, field ops, or daily wear, the Magnum is built to perform.
If you are searching for ballistic sunglasses, wraparound tactical eyewear, GATORZ Magnum, or ANSI Z87 rated eye protection, this is the benchmark.
