Revant Optics Partners with Warfighter Made to Support our Veterans

Titled 'Flyer 1' and 'Flyer 22' respectively, the naming of each vehicle acts as a deeper representation to shed light on a community coming together as ONE in support of the 22 veterans that take their own lives each day. Built originally in the 1990s by Raceco International (Flyer Group) as a vehicle optimized for both speed and cross-country capability, the 'Flyer 1' uses Baja-proven race technology to maximize performance.  

To document the passion and purpose behind this project, Revant Optics is producing a short-form video series, Mission: One for 22, highlighting the veterans who will be driving 'Flyer 1' and 'Flyer 22' and giving viewers an exclusive look inside the Warfighter Made garage to experience the buildout of the 'Flyer 22'.

"Partnering with Warfighter Made is a tangible way Revant can show our gratitude for the men and women who have served our country. We have a lot of veterans in the Revant community, and they have noted how much they appreciate us giving them the ability to bring new life to the sunglasses they wore in the service. We love hearing these stories, and this partnership with Warfighter Made gives us the opportunity to further support our veterans," says Jason Bolt, Revant Optics Founder and CEO. Eyewear is one of the few items that can transition from service uniform to civilian life, and it is the goal of Revant Optics to revolutionize the eyewear market, giving new life to old sunglasses and restoring confidence in users who are tough on their eyewear but are not looking to spend a fortune on replacement lenses. Starting April 4th, 2017 Revant Optics will be donating 1% of sales for 22 days to Warfighter Made as part of the initiative to support our veterans.

During the upcoming NORRA Mexican 1000, the 'Flyer 1' is registered to drive by Racing4Vets SoCal team, also friends of Warfighter Made, including retired LT SEAL Brian Trotter, retired RADM USN Mike Shatynski, retired CPL USMC Cody Elliott, USA veteran Martha Tansy, USA veteran Sean Sullivan and retired CWO4 SEAL Tim King. Operated by Warfighter Made, 'Flyer 22' is registered to drive with retired MSgt USMC Rob Blanton, Sgt USMC Juan Mendez, retired Sgt USMC Kirstie Ennis (combat wounded single leg amputee), retired Sgt USMC Marcus Cischilly (combat wounded single leg amputee), retired SSgt USMC Narayana Devone, retired LCpl USMC Jesse Williamson (combat wounded double leg amputee). Together, the integrated team looks to carry on the unified message—standing as 1 to STOP 22.
