Maximum relaxation meets razor-sharp contrast
The 7CIED Espresso Bean glass is the latest fundamental addition to the CIED (Chromashift Infrared) family. Designed for shooters who demand detail even in bright light, this glass offers a unique balance: it combines low light transmission with a visual "lift" that makes the field of view appear significantly brighter than the specifications would suggest.
The color shade “Espresso Bean” has a calming effect on the eye and reduces fatigue during long training days or competitions, without sacrificing the contrast enhancement typical of Pilla.
The highlights of the 7CIED Espresso Bean:
- Chromashift Infrared (CIED) Technology: Specifically developed to precisely control the red color spectrum and to highlight targets in three dimensions.
- Visual boost: Despite the darker tint, the special filter curve ensures a bright, clear image – ideal for high-contrast viewing in bright sunshine.
- Pure eye relaxation: The espresso tint neutralizes disturbing scattered light and allows for relaxed aiming for hours.
- Versatility: A new basic lens that should be in every Pilla collection, especially when maximum definition at high light intensity is required.
- Expert tip: The 7CIED is perfect for shooting ranges with changing backgrounds, as it sharply distinguishes the target contours from the background while keeping the eye completely relaxed.
Dimensions: The X6 glass design measures 140 mm in width and 30 mm in height.
Weight: 38g
The X6 lens design offers a more generous fit and a wide range of lens options for elite athletes. It is ideal for people with medium to large head circumferences. We recommend the X6 model for head circumferences of 57 cm and above.
The X7 lens design offers a tighter fit. It is ideal for people with small to medium head circumferences. We particularly recommend the X7 model 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 maximum optical performance and clarity over years, proper care is essential. Since these are high-precision optics from ZEISS, they require gentle handling.
Here are the key tips for cleaning and storage:
Daily Cleaning
Remove coarse dirt: Before touching the Gläser with a cloth, carefully blow off 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 conditioners) and lukewarm water are ideal for removing skin oils and sweat. Ideally, use the ZEISS lens cleaner.
Drying: Blot the Gläser dry after rinsing with a clean, soft microfiber cloth. Avoid rubbing with high pressure.

Frequently asked questions
Do the glasses fit with ear protection?
Yes — the design has been optimized for compatible use with standard hearing protection; many club shooters confirm a comfortable combination.
Does that really help so much?
Yes — enhanced contrast perception and reduced fogging time lead to faster target acquisition in independent tests. Our professional testers report significant improvements in reaction time.
Isn't a cheap pair of glasses enough?
Inexpensive glasses save money in the short term but may cause distortion, fogging, or lack splinter protection—the risk of poor decisions in competition is higher. Pilla minimizes these variables with tested components.
