Popticals Glasses review

If you like ‘gadgety’ stuff — things that fold out and turn into something useful and unexpected, like a stapler that morphs into a fully-functional motorcycle — you’ll love Popticals Popzulu folding glasses.

The glasses come in a palm-sized 5″ x 2″ ovoid hard case but when unfurled become stout full-sized ballistic-protective glasses. The lenses come in three colors — gray, orange and clear — and meet ANSI Z87.1 impact resistance. These glasses only weigh an ounce, seem robust as heck and have impeccable optical quality. The downsides? They’re fiddly to fold and unfold until you understand the process and mine always seem to end up with a dozen fingerprints before wearing. But, if you’re looking for lightweight, robust folding shooting glasses, the Popzulu models are a prime choice. My pair will be living in my range bag as backup eye protection.

MSRP: $139
