Shooting glasses

[westonadkins]

Any recommendations for good, clear shooting glasses? I have worn cheaper safety glasses in the past but admittedly don't use them as regularly as I should because of the low quality. They get throw in the shooting bag, get beat up, and become almost unusable.

I was talking to my dad who had a shotgun blow up on him back in the day and it scared me straight.

If you’re of a certain age, you’ll appreciate something like this with bifocal reading lenses built in.

I use a cloth glasses baggy for mine to reduce scratching. Some mid level sunglasses come with the bags.
Other than that I lean toward 3M products and have sets all over the place.

Thanks guys. Looking for something beyond the Home Depot safety glasses but more approachable than the almost ridiculously priced Pilla.

Roka seems to make some good balistically rated clear options but are a bit more than I was thinking at $165.

Looking for the 223, trijicon, rokstock type recommendation on shooting glasses if it exists.

I'm a big fan of smith's protective eyewear. Have multiple pairs and you can add prescription if needed. I sometimes look like a nerd during hunting season wearing the prescription pair so I don't have to change my contacts every day.

I've been wearing ESS for many years. Their 'communicator' or 'comms' or whatever model with the thin arms have been my go to. They take up no space under muffs and are comfortable to wear. You can get them in a package of clear plus a few colors and they're easy to swap.

These are affordable and work well, especially if you wear muffs: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1027559976?pid=696012

If you want to spend a bit more, I recommend these: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/2383126268?pid=954031 These also come with their own bag.

I have m frames from oakley. Theyre clearer than $15 glasses but not 10x better like the price. For me theyre clear enough i can wear them all day at 3 gun matches where theyre required on the sidelines. I keep mine in a glasses case. A half decent case makes the $15 glasses last so much better that might be good enough for you.

I use these while shooting a AR suppressed. To much carbon coming back into my face to not wear glasses. $20

Buy a hard case and they last a few years before getting a scratch in you vision and become weedeater glasses.

Ended up snagging some of these. Two pairs --one clear and one tint and a case for $50 fits the bill. Appreciate you chiming in

If you ever want to go in the Pilla type premium glasses direction, take a look at Castellani shooting glasses. Around half the cost of Pillas, atleast here in EU. Not quite the lens quality of Pilla, but certainly not far behind either.

I've had a set of C-Mask 2 with 4 different lenses for ~4 years and I really like them. The Clear rose lens is the perfect all-around tint and it's been on the frame for the last two years all the time no matter the light conditions. I store the glasses in their own carry box, but other than that I don't baby my equipment. All lenses are still in good condition and the frame has held up fine aswell.

These have been one of the best investments in shooting gear for me.

Im also on the hunt for something I can wear prone. I currently dont wear anything while actually shooting but need to.

Decots and Randolph Rangers are what Im looking at. The adjustable bridges will help keep the glasses where they need to be.

Airflow and lense treatments will help with the fogging. I've heard Rain-X works well.
