First Look: Magpul Rift, Pivot, and Ascent Eyewear

Magpul recently introduced three new eyewear offerings for shooters, including the Rift, Pivot, and Ascent models.

The Ascent comes in polarized and non-polarized options and is an ideal high-performance eye protection for all-day comfort.

Finally, the Rift eyewear was developed for use at work, home, or the range, and overall versatility.
