I just thought I'd make a post about some interesting characteristics of EOTech sights that really do make them great weapon optics. One of the things that the company prides itself in is the abundance of features and processes in manufacturing that makes the EOTech sight extremely rugged and durable. Let's briefly look at a few of these:

 

-The optical cavity where the hologram is produced is thoroughly sealed allowing for the possibility of submersion and ensuring fogproof operation.

 

-All of the EOTech's electronics are completely encased in a special resin compound designed to absorb shocks and sudden impacts.

 

-Components such as the thumb screws for mounting are made of hardened corrosive resistant materials to hold up to abuse as well as inclimate conditions.

 

-Protective anti-reflective coating on optical surfaces which eliminates muzzle side glare.

 

-Use of shatterproof 3 layer glass laminate for Heads Up Display.

 

These are a few of the things that make EOTech a pretty safe bet in the durability department. Of course there are always going to be differing opinions as far as EOTech vs Aimpoint in the area of ruggedness and no doubt both are worthy options.

 

So whether you're looking for a model 552 for hunting or an xps2 for your next three gun competition you shouldn't have to worry too much about treating it delicately.
