What Armourx does

ArmouRx (stylized as Armourx) is a Canadian prescription safety eyewear specialist headquartered at 2-344 North Rivermede Road, Concord, Ontario. The company designs, manufactures and distributes safety eyewear frames engineered to accommodate prescription lenses while meeting ANSI Z87.1 and CSA Z94.3 impact-protection standards, with select models also carrying EN166 F (Model 6006) and D3 splash protection (Model 6020) certifications. Its 72-SKU catalog is organized into five collections — Basic, Classic, Metro, Titanium, and Wrap-Rx — plus a side-shield accessories line. Frames are offered across multiple materials (metal, plastic, combination, titanium, stainless steel, cellulose acetate, Trogamid CX) and fit profiles (Male, Female, Unisex, Asian-fit, small-head-fit) with both permanent and removable side-shield configurations. The company employs between 11 and 50 people and was founded around 2012, with continuous website operations since at least 2017.

The core technology is mechanical frame engineering rather than software: side shields are molded onto metal temples or riveted onto plastic temples, or supplied as removable accessories, and are third-party tested for impact resistance and chemical durability. Notable product features include spring hinges, comfort bridges, removable foam cushions, removable foam dust bars, removable rubber face seals, ventilated side shields, and adjustable temples (140-147mm) on select models. No AI, ML, API, SDK or digital platform components are part of the product offering; the company does not publish research, maintain patents, or disclose any software or data assets.

ArmouRx operates a hybrid B2B / direct-to-consumer wholesale model. Pricing is account-gated — accounts are issued via phone (1-877-938-2100) and prices are visible only after login — with most frames list-priced at $20.00 USD and premium SKUs ranging from $10 to $95. Distribution flows through four named channel-partner optical laboratories (ChaosRXoptics, Safety Rx Services & Supply Corp., Eye Save Optical / ESO Laboratories, CRX Laboratories) plus direct phone, fax and email ordering from HQ and an annual PDF catalogue. The company is privately held, bootstrapped (no disclosed funding rounds), operates across Canada and the United States, and is led by President Ryan Nadler with no other management team disclosed.

Core offering

Armourx designs and sells prescription-capable safety eyewear frames and compatible side-shield accessories, organized into five collections (Basic, Classic, Metro, Titanium, Wrap-Rx). All frames are third-party tested and certified to ANSI Z87.1 and CSA Z94.3 workplace safety standards, with select models also meeting EN166 F and D3 splash protection. Frames are available in metal, plastic, stainless steel, titanium, cellulose acetate, and Trogamid CX materials, in male, female, unisex, Asian-fit, and small-head-fit variants.

Product overview

Armourx operates a single unified product family — prescription safety eyewear frames — rather than a modular platform-plus-add-on architecture. The core offering is organized into five named collections (Basic, Classic, Metro, Titanium, and Wrap-Rx), each containing individual numbered frame models (e.g., 3000P, 5001, 6001, 7003, 8001). Frames are available in metal, plastic, and combination frame types, and across male, female, and unisex sizing. A Side Shields accessories line complements every frame model with removable or permanent side protection. All ArmouRx frames and side shields are certified to ANSI Z87.1 and/or CSA Z94.3 standards, with select models also meeting EN166 F (e.g., Model 6006) and D3 Splash Protection (e.g., Model 6020).
