planeflyer21 Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Very important gear! Lots of law enforcement and EMT/paramedics are making them a mandatory part of the uniform. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2014/12/24/oakleys-awesome-save-vision/ I have a buddy that's old enough that when he wore safety glasses to annual qualification, he was mocked for being a sissy. Until he showed everyone a piece of copper jacket stuck in the lens right above his pupil. The cheap ones from Harbor Freight suffice for me. When I put out for big name stuff like Oakleys, they walk away with great frequency. What are you wearing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt.Cross Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 We may need to get you one of those full face shields bro. With his recent track record, we're all going to end up pitching in to get one of those suits EOD techs have to wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

392heminut Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) Oakleys, I have the Ballistic M frames but use the standard M frame lenses. Those Ballistic lenses have some kind of coating on the inside that starts to peel at the edges and the standard M frames lenses don't. I have to drill a hole in the top center of the standard lenses for the Ballistic frame clip to make them work. I called Oakley about the peeling problem (I had three lense sets that were peeled) and they sent me one replacement. After that I just used the other lenses. I keep several sets of Wally World shooting glasses around for friends and family to use. Edited December 25, 2014 by 392heminut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansRey Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 I got some cheap pair of safety glasses I bought a few months back, they get used for both work and shooting, and they are due to be replaced. They have stopped more stuff at work that could be just as dangerous as a bullet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 I use edge saftey glasses with polarized lenses kinda sporty looking and I can see the fish! My first framing job tought me to wear "z87" grade glasses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Oakley, Wiley X, and ESS glasses. I've had all three brands issued at one point or another, and they excel in eye protection. Hell, I've been wearing Oakleys since the first pair of Eyeshades came out in the early '80s. Still have a pair in a box somewhere. ESS Crossbows are my favorite so far. Those things are great.

Robocop1051 Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 I love my ESS Crossbows. I even wear them for riding my motor. Only weak spot on the ESS is the nose piece. The rubber fell off all of mine. I desperately need to order more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Don't do 3rd-gear wheelies across intersections, whilst on the motor, and your Crossbows will last longer... <lmao> Don't EVEN think I forgot about that story, mister... <laughs> Edited December 26, 2014 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 That shiit scared the piss outta me. That was day #1 on the Honda ST1300.

Microgunner Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 My prescription glasses are poly carbonate lenes with titanium frame just so I can use them as shooting glasses as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaRKle! Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Just don't get the ESS Crossbow suppressors. Those frames suck and barely stay on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I use just plain safety glasses that double as my shades anyway. 10 bucks from Grainger. That way I don't have to worry if they get scratched or anything. Scratched? Throw em away and put on a new pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a completely unrelated note, I'm not sure why as I get older I'm going crosseyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
