The classic redefined: More light, more energy
The 82CIRG Ruby Grapefruit is the logical evolution of the legendary Grapefruit profile. Inspired by the groundbreaking science behind the 2025 Watermelon glass, the Ruby Grapefruit takes high light transmission performance to a new level.
With a transmittance of 82%, this lens is designed for situations where every ounce of residual light counts – be it in deep twilight, on heavily overcast days, or in dark forest stands. Despite the high light transmission, the refined Chromashift Infrared technology provides a noticeable contrast boost ("bump") that effectively "wakes up" the eye and separates the target with razor-sharp clarity from the background.
The highlights of the 82CIRG Ruby Grapefruit:
- Next-Gen Grapefruit: The modern answer to the classic grapefruit filter – scientifically optimized for 2026.
- Watermelon DNA: Utilizes the advanced filter science of the 2025 Watermelon series for even clearer color separation.
- Maximum brightness: 82% light transmission guarantees an extremely bright image without losing control over the color profile.
- Visual kick: The lens was designed to “excite the eye” – this means faster focus and less visual fatigue in low light.
- Expert tip: “Anyone who liked the old grapefruit lens will love the 82CIRG. It has exactly that extra ‘punch’ in brightness and sharpness that we always wanted in low light. It’s the perfect ‘bad weather lens’ with the soul of a high-performance filter.”
Dimensions: The X6 glass design has a width of 140 mm and a height of 30 mm.

The X6 frame design offers a more generous fit and a wide range of frames for elite athletes. It is ideal for people with medium to large head circumferences. We recommend the X6 model starting from a head circumference of 57 cm.
The X7 frame design offers a tighter fit. It is ideal for people with small to medium head circumferences. We recommend the X7 model especially for men with the following body measurements: height up to 1.80 m, weight up to 90 kg and hat size up to 7 1/4.
To ensure your Pilla-Gläser retain their maximum optical performance and clarity for years, proper care is essential. Since these are high-precision optics from ZEISS, they require gentle handling.
Here are the key notes for cleaning and storage:
Daily Cleaning
Remove coarse dirt: Before touching the Gläser with a cloth, gently blow away dust or sand, or rinse them under lukewarm, running water. This prevents hard particles from causing scratches when wiping.
Cleaning agents: Never use harsh household cleaners, glass cleaners, or alcohol-containing wipes. A drop of mild, pH-neutral dish soap (without moisturizing balms) and lukewarm water is ideal for dissolving skin oils and sweat. Ideally, use the ZEISS eyewear cleaner.
Drying: After rinsing, blot the Gläser dry with a clean, soft microfiber cloth. Avoid rubbing with high pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the glasses fit with hearing protection?
Yes — the design is optimized for compatible use with standard hearing protection; many club shooters confirm the comfortable combination.
Is that really worth that much?
Yes — increased contrast perception and reduced fog time lead to faster target acquisition in independent tests. Our pro testers report significant improvements in reaction time.
Isn't a cheap pair of glasses enough?
Cheap glasses save you money in the short term, but may have distortion, fogging, or missing splinter protection — the risk of making wrong decisions during competition is higher. Pilla minimizes these variables with tested components.
Which glass do I choose?
