REVIEW: GUNNAR Optiks Fallout Vault 33 Glasses – A Perfect Fit for Every Vault Dweller

Review by Jon Donnis

It's rare to find a gaming accessory that feels so effortlessly in sync with the universe it's inspired by, but GUNNAR's Fallout Vault 33 Glasses manage it with style. Released to celebrate Fallout's 28th anniversary, these glasses don't just pay tribute to the game's retro-futuristic charm, they embody it. From the square, stainless-steel and nylon frame to the olive metal temples, everything about their design feels like it belongs in a Vault-Tec laboratory. It's that classic Fallout blend of 1950s cool and post-apocalyptic grit, brought to life in eyewear form. The fit is light and comfortable, thanks to flexible hinges and smooth contours, and they sit snugly enough for marathon gaming sessions or long nights scrolling through Pip-Boy menus.

Performance-wise, GUNNAR's signature technology really earns its reputation here. The lenses block harmful blue light and 100% of UV rays, which makes a huge difference after hours spent in front of a screen. The G-Shield Plus coating also keeps things crisp and smudge-free, perfect for those who can't tear themselves away from the Commonwealth or the latest Fallout episode on Prime Video. They do exactly what you want them to: reduce strain, sharpen focus, and make gaming (or work) easier on the eyes. In short, they're as functional as they are stylish.

What makes them extra special is the sense of collectability and fan service woven into the design. Each pair comes with a collector's case, pouch, and cleaning cloth, all stamped with official Fallout and Amazon Studios branding. They're more than a gimmick, they're a piece of the Fallout world you can wear every day. Add to that the limited-time anniversary deal, and you've got a rare find: eyewear that looks incredible, performs brilliantly, and feels like a proper perk upgrade for anyone living in the digital wasteland. GUNNAR has done it again, proving that great design and gaming culture can coexist beautifully. For Fallout fans, this is as close as you'll get to real Vault-Tec tech.

GUNNAR Optiks has built its reputation on making some of the best gaming eyewear out there, and this latest release only strengthens that. The Fallout Vault 33 Glasses are more than a themed product, they're an ideal blend of comfort, craftsmanship, and fandom. Whether you're a hardcore Vault Dweller or a casual wasteland wanderer, they deliver on every front. Eye protection, aesthetic appeal, and a sense of immersion all rolled into one sleek pair of frames. In a world full of gimmicky gaming collaborations, this one feels genuinely special, a real-world upgrade that would make even Mr Handy proud.

Check them out at gunnar.com before the anniversary deal ends, and don't forget the promo code FALLOUT28 for the limited-time anniversary offer, dropping the price from $99 to $69.30. If Fallout has taught us anything, it's that good loot doesn't stay on the shelf for long.

Thanks to GUNNAR Optiks for the review sample.
