On December 16, 2025, Gunnar Optiks and Amazon Studios unveiled a striking collaboration that’s sure to catch the eye of both gamers and television fans alike: the Fallout x Gunnar – Brotherhood of Steel glasses. Timed perfectly to coincide with the highly anticipated launch of Fallout Season 2 on Amazon (set to premiere December 17, 2025), these new frames blend iconic elements from the beloved video game franchise and its television adaptation, offering fans a chance to step into the wasteland—at least, in style.
For those unfamiliar, Fallout has long stood as a cultural touchstone in the world of gaming, with its post-apocalyptic setting, memorable factions, and a gritty sense of humor. The Brotherhood of Steel, one of the series’ most recognizable groups, is known for its imposing power armor and steadfast dedication to preserving technology in a ruined world. According to Bleeding Cool, Gunnar’s latest design draws direct inspiration from the Brotherhood’s legendary armor, capturing not just the look but the spirit of Fallout’s wasteland survivors.
The glasses themselves sport a rounded aviator design, finished in a weathered gunmetal that echoes the steel plating seen in Brotherhood power armor. Subtle engravings include the Brotherhood of Steel emblem on the lens and the faction’s battle cry, "Ad Victoriam," boldly etched along the temple. It’s a detail that gives these frames a sense of authenticity, as if they could have been plucked straight from the set of the show—or even from the digital ruins of New Vegas itself.
But Gunnar isn’t just offering style for the sake of fandom. The company, which has been a leader in blue light-blocking eyewear since its founding in 2006, has equipped these glasses with its patented lens technology. As detailed by Gunnar Optiks, each pair features G-Shield Plus lens coating, which is both anti-reflective and smudge-resistant. The lenses block harmful blue light and 100% of UV rays, making them as practical for long gaming sessions or binge-watching Fallout as they are for everyday wear. The subtle +0.2 diopters are designed to enhance focus, while the wraparound fit and flexible spring hinges ensure comfort whether you’re exploring the wasteland or just venturing outside.
Customers can choose from four different lens tints: Amber, Amber Sun-shift, Sun, or Amber Max. This variety means there’s an option suited for every environment, whether you’re overseeing vault operations (in front of a monitor, perhaps) or braving the glare of a real-world nuclear sun. Each pair comes packed with premium accessories, including a metal "Area 51" collector’s case, a microfiber pouch featuring Brotherhood artwork, and a custom microfiber cleaning cloth adorned with Fallout designs. There’s even a 12-month warranty, underscoring Gunnar’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
As an added treat for die-hard fans, the glasses are officially licensed by Amazon Studios and come with hidden Fallout Easter eggs tucked within the collectible packaging. It’s a nod to the franchise’s tradition of secrets and surprises, giving every purchase an extra layer of excitement. According to Gunnar, the glasses are priced at $100—a competitive figure considering the combination of licensed design, advanced lens technology, and collectible extras.
The timing of the release is no accident. With Fallout Season 2 set to debut on Amazon on December 17, 2025, anticipation for all things Fallout is running high. Gunnar has capitalized on this momentum by offering a limited-time bonus during the pre-order window: customers who purchase either the Fallout Vault 33 or Brotherhood of Steel frames will receive a free Gunnar mystery box. That’s a tempting offer for collectors and fans eager to get their hands on exclusive merchandise. The full product launch is expected in mid-January 2026, giving fans a brief window to snag the pre-order bonus.
Gunnar’s partnership with Amazon Studios isn’t their first foray into themed eyewear, but it’s certainly one of their most ambitious. The company’s reputation as the category pioneer in performance-enhancing, blue light-blocking glasses is well established. As noted in Gunnar’s own company history, they were the first to secure a combined patent (No. 9417460) for lenses designed to combat the symptoms of digital eye strain. Their products are consistently recommended by doctors and have become a staple in the gaming and computer worlds.
Beyond gaming, Gunnar’s portfolio has grown to encompass a wide selection of styles, protective lens types, and focus options. The company now offers glasses for gaming, computer use, reading, prescription needs, and even sunglasses. In recent years, they’ve expanded further with the introduction of Gunnar Youth glasses, catering specifically to kids and teens who spend increasing amounts of time in front of screens. Their presence on social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook reflects a commitment to staying engaged with a tech-savvy audience.
For Fallout fans, the Brotherhood of Steel glasses represent more than just a stylish accessory. They’re a tangible connection to a world that’s captured the imagination of millions, both on-screen and in-game. The marriage of Gunnar’s technical expertise and Fallout’s rich lore makes for a product that’s as functional as it is collectible. Whether you’re a vault dweller, a Brotherhood initiate, or simply someone looking to protect your eyes, these glasses offer a unique blend of performance, protection, and fandom.
And let’s not forget the allure of the packaging itself. The custom Area 51 case, the Brotherhood-themed microfiber pouch, the cleaning cloth adorned with Fallout designs—each element has been crafted with collectors in mind. There’s a sense of ceremony in unboxing a product like this, a feeling that you’re not just buying glasses but joining a community of fans who appreciate the details.
With the launch of Fallout Season 2 sure to draw new viewers and longtime fans alike, Gunnar’s latest collaboration arrives at the perfect moment. It’s a testament to the enduring appeal of the Fallout universe and to Gunnar’s knack for turning functional eyewear into a badge of honor for gamers and pop culture enthusiasts. As the wasteland beckons once again, these glasses promise to help fans see every detail—without missing a beat.
