Our History

Edge started in 1998 with a simple vision: to help protect yours. We redefined what protective eyewear should be at a time when all the safety glasses available on the market lacked even the most basic features, lens technologies or style.

We designed safety glasses people actually wanted to wear. Safety glasses with a sporty style. Safety glasses with user-friendly features, like anti-slip frame details and adjustable nose pads. Safety glasses with lens technologies previously only found in expensive designer sunglasses. It was us, in fact, that created the first pair of safety glasses with polarized lenses.

For more than 20 years, we’ve questioned everything about eyewear. We’ve designed, researched, developed and refined our safety glasses, tactical eyewear and outdoor eyewear to offer as much durability, comfort and features as value.

THE Edge Difference

We construct our frames using a durable nylon composite and our lenses with shatter-resistant polycarbonate. We always verify our safety and tactical products’ compliance with ANSI, CSA or MCEPS impact and optical clarity standards through third-party, independent labs to ensure they’ll have your back when you need it most. And you might be surprised to learn that’s something not all safety eyewear brands can claim.

We pack the same technology and features into our eyewear as the “premium” sunglass brands, but make them more accessible to offer you peace of mind and inspire confidence every day.

No more choosing between expensive sunglasses or underdeveloped safety glasses to get quality, stylish and functional eyewear.

Safety eyewear is the foundation on which we’ve built our community. It’s a community that values life over style and takes pride in the everyday. And while safety eyewear is our past, we’re building a more diversified future, all while keeping our sights set on helping you chase your vision and live fearlessly.

Built for more

It's more than a tagline. "Built for More" embodies our brand's dedication to designing, refining and delivering eyewear with a purpose. Our restless imagination drives us to continue producing eyewear Built for More Safety, Durability and Clarity than other options on the market.

We always test our safety glasses with an independent lab to make sure your eyes are protected when it matters most. We verify compliance with ANSI’s Z87 and Z87+ standards with our third-party laboratory partner. And our shooting eyewear is tested to the requirements of the Military Combat Eye Protection Systems (MCEPS) standard to provide protection in the face of extreme threats.

We construct our frames from a virtually indestructible nylon composite. They provide more durability than virtually any other glasses on the market. And our lenses are made of shatter-resistant polycarbonate. It's this material that provides our products with the signature impact resistance and durability that Edge is known for.

We were the first brand to put polarized lenses in a pair of safety glasses. This lens technology helps to cut down on glare and improve visual clarity better than other lenses. We pioneered an exclusive anti-fog technology (Vapor Shield) that lasts longer and performs better than other options on the market. And our Aqua Precision lenses (available in blue and red shades) improve visual clarity in bright conditions and can help enhance visibility in high-contrast environments.
