If there's one thing Fallout fans love as much as looting a Super Duper Mart or listening to "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire" on the Pip-Boy radio, it's the mix of retro style and high-tech survival gear. GUNNAR Optiks seems to understand that perfectly. To celebrate the 28th anniversary of Fallout, the company has launched a special collaboration inspired by Vault 33, complete with a generous anniversary deal. From October 10 to 12, players, collectors, and wanderers alike can grab a pair of Fallout Vault 33 Glasses or Sunglasses for just $69.30 instead of the usual $99, simply by using the promo code FALLOUT28 at checkout. There's no fine print or purchase limit, just straight-up savings that feel almost too good for the post-apocalypse.

The Vault 33 Glasses are clearly designed with gamers in mind. Built from a combination of stainless steel and nylon, the square frame has a smart, retro-futuristic look that feels like it could have been pulled straight from a Vault-Tec prototype lab. The olive metal temples add a touch of authenticity that fans will recognise instantly. It's the kind of style that feels perfectly at home whether you're grinding through Fallout 4's Commonwealth wasteland or binge-watching the Fallout TV adaptation on Prime Video. Flexible spring hinges make the fit comfortable for long sessions, while the built-in side shields subtly cut out peripheral glare. These aren't novelty items; they're practical, well-engineered glasses that merge form and function in the way the Fallout universe always hinted technology should.

Under the hood (or rather, behind the lenses), GUNNAR's signature technology does the heavy lifting. The patented lens design reduces digital eye strain, which is a blessing for anyone who spends hours in front of a screen, whether you're modding Fallout: New Vegas or raiding in 76. The G-Shield® Plus coating adds a double layer of defence, providing anti-reflective and smudge-resistant protection while blocking 100% of UV rays and harmful blue light. This means sharper focus, less eye fatigue, and fewer headaches after long sessions, something every gamer and late-night Vault Dweller can appreciate.
There's also a sense of collectability here. Each pair comes with a collector's case, microfibre pouch, cleaning cloth, and a 12-month warranty, all stamped with official Fallout and Amazon Studios branding. It's a nice touch for fans who take pride in owning official memorabilia from their favourite franchise. It feels like something you'd find tucked away in a Vault locker, carefully preserved, practical, and unmistakably cool.

What's particularly clever about this collaboration is how seamlessly it ties into the Fallout world. The Vault 33 branding gives the glasses a sense of belonging, like standard-issue eyewear for explorers of the wasteland. They strike that perfect balance between nostalgia and modernity, appealing not only to hardcore gamers but also to those who simply love the design aesthetic that's made Fallout endure for nearly three decades.
In a gaming landscape full of crossover gimmicks, this one genuinely hits the mark. It's more than a marketing tie-in; it's a product that serves a real purpose. Whether you're crafting settlements, dodging Deathclaws, or working long hours in front of a screen, the Vault 33 Glasses bring a touch of Fallout style and serious functionality to your daily grind. For fans of the series, it's the closest thing to equipping a wearable perk, one that protects your eyes instead of just boosting your Charisma.
GUNNAR's Fallout Vault 33 Glasses are the kind of gear any Vault Dweller would be proud to add to their loadout. They're sleek, practical, and unmistakably Fallout, bridging the gap between the game's imaginative world and real-life comfort. And with the limited-time anniversary discount, there's never been a better excuse to treat your eyes, or your inner gamer, to something special before venturing back into the wasteland.
But be quick if you want the discount, don't forget to use the promo code FALLOUT28 at checkout.
Thanks as always to GUNNAR Optiks, our favourite glasses maker!
