FullPro Protective Gear

What FullPro Protective Gear does

FullPro Protective Gear is a privately held, Oklahoma City-based product-design and marketing company operating as FullPro LLC. The company manufactures and sells a single product line, SoundVision Eye Protection, which addresses a specific functional problem: the incompatibility between traditional safety eyewear and earmuffs or headsets. Conventional glasses have temple arms that break the acoustic seal of earmuffs, allowing 3–7 decibels of harmful sound leakage and creating painful pressure points against the skull. SoundVision solves this by attaching to the exterior surface of earmuffs via flexible hook-and-loop straps and self-adhesive patches, preserving full ear-seal integrity while providing ANSI Z87.1+ high-impact-rated eye protection that filters 97% of UV rays. The product line includes three lens tints (Clear, Smoke, Amber), and is protected by US Patent No. 6481846.

The company targets a horizontal set of end-user segments — shooting and hunting enthusiasts, industrial and manufacturing workers, woodworkers and DIY hobbyists, landscapers, general aviation pilots, and law enforcement professionals — all of whom require simultaneous eye and hearing protection. SoundVision is sold at $24.95 per kit (plus $4.99 shipping) through three channels: the company's own e-commerce storefront (fullpro.com), the Amazon.com marketplace, and a dealer/distributor wholesale network offering approximately 50% margins to resellers. Marketing relies primarily on earned media in trade publications (Popular Woodworking, Fine Woodworking, MAKE Magazine, Guns & Weapons for Law Enforcement, Occupational Safety, Safety+Health) and influencer/content creator reviews rather than paid acquisition.

The company is founder-owned and bootstrapped, with no institutional funding or acquisition history. Erik Mikysa, who holds a Stanford MBA (2005), founded the business and serves as President. The company employs 1–10 people, operates from a single Oklahoma City headquarters, and is supported by a network of part-time or contract support functions (Amazon listing management, dealer contacts). It functions as a focused niche product business rather than a high-growth venture.

Core offering

FullPro designs, markets, and sells the SoundVision Eye Protection system — a patented set of safety lenses that attach to the outside of earmuffs and headsets using flexible hook-and-loop straps and self-adhesive patches. The kit includes lenses with straps, two pairs of adhesive patches, a PVC case with magnetic closure, and an information card, and is offered in Clear, Smoke, and Amber lens tints. Earmuffs are not included.

Product overview

FullPro Protective Gear offers a single unified product line centered on the SoundVision Eye Protection system. The core offering is the SoundVision Eye Protection Kit, which includes lenses with hook-and-loop straps, self-adhesive patches, and a PVC carrying case. SoundVision is available in three lens tints (Clear, Smoke, Amber) to suit different environments. The product attaches to the exterior of earmuffs using hook-and-loop straps, solving the incompatibility problem where traditional safety glasses break earmuff seals and cause pressure points. Supporting offerings include retail display materials, information sheets, and PPE reminder posters for dealers. The company also sells through Amazon and offers commercial payment options.

• Pyramex Safety Products: Specialty manufacturer of ANSI Z87.1+ safety eyewear, goggles, and shooting glasses sold through industrial and sporting goods channels. Closely comparable in product category (ANSI-rated safety eyewear), target customer (industrial workers, shooting enthusiasts), and distribution model (wholesale to dealers + e-commerce).
• Bollé Safety: European-headquartered manufacturer of ANSI and EN-rated safety glasses, goggles, and face protection sold through industrial PPE distributors. Comparable in certification-led product positioning and industrial/safety distribution channels.
• ESS (Eye Safety Systems): Ballistic-rated safety eyewear brand serving military, law enforcement, and shooting sports markets with ANSI/MIL-spec certified goggles and glasses. Comparable in high-impact safety certification emphasis and tactical/shooting customer base.
• Edge Eyewear: Safety eyewear brand specializing in ANSI Z87.1+ rated glasses for industrial, shooting, and outdoor use, sold through sporting goods and hardware retailers. Closely comparable product positioning, certification tier, and channel mix to FullPro's SoundVision.

Broad incumbents

• 3M: Diversified global conglomerate with a major Safety & Industrial business that includes ANSI-rated safety eyewear (e.g., Virtua, SecureFit) and hearing protection (Peltor earmuffs). Comparable because3M operates across the same eye + ear PPE categories that SoundVision targets, though as part of a vastly broader portfolio.
• Honeywell Safety Products: Honeywell's personal protective equipment division owns the Uvex, North, and Howard Leight brands, covering ANSI-rated safety eyewear and earmuffs in the same use cases as SoundVision. Highly comparable product overlap, but at massive scale and as part of a multi-category PPE portfolio.

Others

• Howard Leight by Honeywell: Honeywell-owned earmuff and hearing protection brand whose products are explicitly cited in FullPro's value proposition as the type of headset SoundVision is designed to pair with. Adjacent/complementary rather than competitive; useful for understanding channel and end-user overlap in the combined eye + ear protection use case.
