Eye protection. There has to be something better.

[easy rider]

I don't like that my glasses are tinted on overcast days.

If I were getting dedicated glasses I'd look for the option of swapping lenses based on conditions.

These are the copper hi def ESS, super clarity and not overly priced:
https://www.amazon.com/ESS-Eyewear-...TF8&qid=1523289937&sr=1-8&keywords=ess+hi+def
You can buy the lenses for about $20 each in several colors and clear.

Or if you want three different lenses and a case there is these:

Polarized will be more of course.

These are the type many of the armed forces wear, so not only are they ANSI tested they also mil spec. These are probably the most clear shooting glasses I've worn, meaning they don't obscure the scope.

Was hoping one of our competition shooters (Allen) would chime in.

Those do look promising. I'm trying to locate a local source for them.

Oh, I see how it is.

I’ve never had clarity issues with the Wiley X or Oakley’s, hunting or shooting, scope or no scope. BTW, when you shoot you are always by an explosion by just firing the gun. There are numerous pictures on the web of revolvers, AR’s and even lever action 45-70 rifles “blowing up”. The impact resistance is the only thing that will matter if that happens to you. The link I provided showed the results after a blast, but there is always a chance of something similar when you shoot.

I can't remember what brand I had before these, but they weren't cheap. A friend of mine asked me to try his ESS and I was impressed by their clarity.

Do the ESS glasses fog up?

 

[toddnjoyce]

Can’t go wrong with pretty much any on this list:

I’m partial to Oakley SI, but that’s because they fit me best. The Revision Sawfly is another good choice.

I haven't had them fog up on me, but then maybe I wasn't sweating enough.

I have a pair of no name $20 glasses that fog up when I shoot my rifle. Think it may be time to upgrade to ESS or take a look at the list todd put up

As far as the cold goes, last Saturday they didn't fog at all.

Maybe you can thank the 90 mph wind for that!

I did find areas out of that biting wind often.

First off, I admit, I haven't done any real research. I'd rather rely on the experience of this forum's members.

So, I haven't given a great deal of thought to the glasses I wear at the range.
It's usually a pair of safety glasses from work, a pair as a "bonus" in a ear muff purchase, etc......

Now I'm focusing (heh) on precision and long range rifle shooting.
Of course, we spend inordinate amounts of time researching and deciding on which scope to use for that particular rifle. Then, we put on a cheap pair of glasses and distort everything. So, we remove the eye protection and shoot without it.

My livelihood depends on my vision. I just can't risk an eye injury for the sake of a bullseye or gong strike.

Where can I find a pair of safety glasses that won't distort the view through that fine piece of glass I have mounted on that rifle? Knowing me, they need to be fairly rugged.

No, I don't have a budget.
Thanks in advance

I personally shoot with the Oakley SI Tombstone's. But I think they have been discontinued. But I do like all Oakley shooting glasses. http://www.oakleysi.com/Root/Prizm/Shooting/c/Prizm-Shooting

I have multiple color lenses for different applications. Low light I shoot with yellow of clear lenses. For clays I use the purple tinted lens on bright days. But like to have a single pair of glasses with interchangeable lenses.

I'm here, I'm here.

I'm currently using Wiley-X glasses, mostly because I got them for free and they were quite better than the cheapie Academy/Home Depot safety glasses I had been using. They're comfortable, have multiple lenses (I only use the clear), carrying case, rarely fog up in hot weather, and have low-profile ear pieces that are still comfortable when I have to wear ear muffs.

Because of my head position while shooting I look through the inner/upper corner of the lens near the bridge of the nose. The glasses with the single, one-piece lens seem to do a much better job of keeping that area clear and reasonably warp-free.

I would love to get into a set of fully-adjustable glasses where you can mix and match the parts you want and put each lens exactly where you want it, but they are not about full-coverage safety and run into the $300-500 range.

I'm a little late to this thread, but I wanted to start a thread about some shooting glasses I saw in my Dillon Blue Press magazine.
These are reading glasses that are shooting glasses
you can pick the strength you want

I will snap a pic of the page and post it up.
Worth "lookin into" pardon the pun..
