Sean had a few things to add about his company’s role in crowd control.\u00a0 He showed us a pair of the Revision Desert Locust Goggles<\/a>, which he said provide not only ballistic protection, but eye protection against liquids.\u00a0 Protesters at these large scale events will often try to disrupt police lines and generally antagonize officers by throwing containers of urine, feces, or other putrid liquids.\u00a0 This is definitely a serious threat to the officers.<\/p>\n

The Desert Locust Goggles give a pliable seal around the eyes to prevent their contact with noxious fluids.\u00a0 The low profile of these optically distortion free, anti-fog goggles allows them to be worn under a protective helmet.\u00a0 There is a vision prescription lens kit available for those of us visually challenged.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Tampa Police have ordered 200 pairs of the Revision Desert Locust Goggles to protect their officers’ eyesight, according to Sean.\u00a0 This was welcome to hear as older riot control helmet and face shield combinations do not defend as well against this new officer safety threat.<\/p>\n
