Asked how the campaign will affect the bottom line especially as a young business Mac answered “My team has made the necessary fiscal and operational adjustments to absorb the hit in revenue that comes with an endeavor like this.

The 2.2 millimeter impacto lens system by Carl Zeiss Vision is six times the strength of standard safety glasses while actively repelling all dirt, oil, and liquids. In addition to the one for one commitment VYPR Ballistic supports the All Veteran Parachute Team and Kilimanjaro Warriors Project in their collective efforts to mentally, physically and spiritually rehabilitate combat wounded veterans.

"I wanted to stay connected to my brothers in harms way and make an impact in the business world at the same time." Mac stated. He continued to say "ballistic sunglasses were one of our most valuable pieces of armor on the battlefield. The options for military and first responders is so limited I knew exactly what I wanted to do post Army". Mac aligned himself with eyewear industry experts and traveled the world to partner with renowned frame and lens manufacturers.

Verdi commented "No corners were cut when we put this project together. I only wanted soldiers to wear ballistic sunglasses made from the safest materials money can buy."

In addition to tactical applications VYPR Ballistic also manufactures eyewear for sporting and industrial safety buyers incorporating the same shatterproof frame and lens technology into every pair.
