From Battlefield to Ocean: Toughest Eyewear for the Toughest Row

Honoring Veterans Day with a Special Sponsorship: METL Optix Supports Range-Oars Row

As Veterans Day approaches, we at METL Optix want to take a moment to honor the brave men and women who have served our nation with unwavering dedication. This year, we are proud to announce our sponsorship of Range-Oars Row, an extraordinary team embarking on one of the toughest challenges known to man—the World’s Toughest Row.

The Significance of Veterans Day

Veterans Day, observed annually on November 11th, marks the end of World War I and is a day dedicated to honoring all veterans who have served in the United States Armed Forces. It’s a time to reflect on the sacrifices made by our military personnel and to express our gratitude for their service and commitment to our country.

About Ranger-Oars Row

Range-Oars Row is participating in the 2025 Pacific Challenge, one of the most grueling ocean rowing events organized by Atlantic Campaigns. This race covers a vast distance across the Pacific Ocean, testing participants' endurance, teamwork, and mental fortitude. Teams must navigate extreme conditions, carry all necessary supplies, and remain self-sufficient throughout the journey, which can last several weeks.

The challenge aims to push the limits of human endurance, promote ocean conservation, and raise awareness for various charitable causes. It is regarded as one of the most demanding and rewarding rowing races in the world.

METL Optix Sponsorship

We are thrilled to support Range-Oars Row by providing our top-of-the-line tactical eyewear for their journey. Our eyewear truly is some of the toughest on the planet, offering the ultimate protection and durability required for such an extreme undertaking. This partnership aligns with our commitment to supporting the veteran community and promoting resilience and perseverance.

Why This Matters

As a veteran-owned company, METL Optix understands the values of duty, honor, and sacrifice. By sponsoring Range-Oars Row and providing eyewear for their team, we are not only supporting a group of incredible individuals but also reinforcing our dedication to the veteran community. Our eyewear will help ensure that the team has the protection they need to face the challenges of the open ocean.

The Mission Behind Ranger-Oars Row

Range-Oars Row is not just participating in the Pacific Challenge for the thrill of the race; they are rowing with a purpose. Their mission is to raise awareness and funds to help stop veteran suicide and support those with PTSD. By undertaking this monumental journey, they aim to inspire resilience and unity, demonstrating the incredible strength and determination of our veterans.
