ROKA Introduces the SR-1EP
April 14, 2025 • Austin, TX
A new model in premium protection and performance eyewear that works seamlessly with ear protection
ROKA, the award-winning leader in performance eyewear for active people, announces the SR-1EP, the latest addition to its cutting-edge safety and protection collection. Featuring ROKA’s GEKO™ Lite, this molded-in version of ROKA’s no-slip GEKO™ technology is thinner and purpose built to fit seamlessly under over-the-ear protection such as Peltor®-style headsets for improved comfort and noise reduction.
Designed in collaboration with Kyle Morgan of Blu Bearing Solutions, the SR-1EP also features ANSI Z87+ certification, designed and tested to exceed Z87.1-2020 high velocity and high‒mass impact standards for enhanced protection, a critical requirement for many military, law enforcement, and first responder elements. Four interchangeable GEKO™ nose pads help ensure stability while allowing users to personalize their fit for improved comfort and retention.
"ROKA is obsessed with its customers, and we have a special place in our heart for our military, law enforcement, and other first-responder customers,” said Rob Canales, co-founder and CEO at ROKA.
“Over the years, we’ve had members from Tier 1 military units and federal hostage rescue teams reach out for help sourcing a pair of protective glasses that not only solve for the lens requirements but also are actually comfortable enough to wear for 10-12 hours at a time while deployed. It’s a niche use case, but for those who need it, this product is a game changer. We’re pumped to bring the SR-1EP to market.”
Key features of the SR-1EP include:
- GEKO™ Lite — Molded directly into the thinner temple arms, the no-slip grip provides a secure all-day fit and a barely-there feel with seamless fit under ear protection.
- FloatFit™ Frame — Featherweight and engineered for ultimate comfort, ensuring performance without compromise.
- ANSI Z87+ Rated — tested and validated for ballistic protection and offers the highest quality coatings.
- C3™ Optics - ROKA C3™ Optics strike the optimal balance between color, contrast, and lens clarity.
- Premium Lens Clarity — Cutting-edge optics for enhanced visibility in any environment; multi-layer anti-reflective backside coating
- Exceptional Durability — Front and back-side anti-scratch protection.
- Reliable Clarity — Anti-fog coating on the back of the lens; hydrophobic and oleophobic lens coatings keep moisture from sticking to the front or back side of the lens.
The SR-1EP is now available for purchase at ROKA.com.
