You want cool sunglasses? You could get this ones…and they are even endorsed by the Japan Self-Defense Force!…The curious thing is that it seems this are even bulletproof…well, almost!

The Japan Self-Defense Force Sunglasses have been officially endorsed by the Japanese military and not only look super cool, but are ultra strong as well. The lens will not fracture even if struck at 171km/h (106mph) by a 6.55mm (0.3″) diameter object, nor do they shatter if a 500g shaft of iron is dropped on them from 1.27m! While they can’t quite withstand an actual speeding bullet you get the idea!

The Japan Self-Defense Force Sunglasses feature:

  • Size: 16 x 15 x 4cm (6.3 x 5.9 x 1.6″)
  • Lens thickness: 2mm (0.08″)
  • Weight: 27-35g
  • Frames made of TPR/TR90
  • Comes with glasses box with emblem of JSDF

Be prepared as this sunglasses costs around USD$317.00 dollars!!…Guess I will need to rob a bank with my bulletproof vest before getting this… :twisted:

    I don’t think I’d try stopping a bullet with them but they do look pretty cool and I like their durability…. the price is certainly something to make me think twice though
