Frames
FRAME MATERIALS MUST PROVIDE A FUNCTIONAL BENEFIT
Our design philosophy is very simple: Function trumps all.
We utilize materials in our frames that provide functional benefits to the athlete while providing longevity of use. We pride ourselves on using state-of-the-art materials to reduce weight which enhances both functional performance but also comfort. We have created systems of lens interchangeability that are patented. These systems have been engineered to allow athletes to change to the proper lens for maximum eye performance. The system facilitates quick and easy changing. The materials we use are tested to deliver extended use and hold up in the toughest of conditions.
Our Snap-Tec engineering that is used on both our Panther and Outlaw platforms was first introduced in 2002 and we have our 75,000 frames in the world using this technology.

Our Snap-Tec engineering that is used on both our Panther and Outlaw platforms was first introduced in 2002 and we have our 75,000 frames in the world using this technology.
Engineered for the needs of each sport
We have worked closely with athletes that are the elite in their sports. In working with them, we have crafted and refined frame geometries that are designed with shooting, archery, action shooting, equestrian, and aviation fully in mind. We have considered the performance needs, the weight and balance, as well as the overall comfort. The needs of shooters are different than the needs of archers, which are different than the needs of polo players.

Pilla utilizes the finest in materials and is a leader in mixed material construction. We have spent years perfecting the materials we use and pride ourselves on providing our customers a product that stands the test of time and use.
