I am researching for an upcoming purchase of a pair of shooting glasses ! i shoot shotgun (backyard trap) pistol and rifle no competion in anything yet . and i think i want a pair of wrap around type with changeable lenses.
looking for suggestion what do you use and any good outlets for them!
Here is a good thread on what other INGO'ers are using. I know that anytime someone sees a good deal, they tend to post it on the accessories/gear forum. Also, there is a member who has a 35% discount code for Rudy Project, but I can't remember for the life of me who it was. I will have to see if I can track them down.
Oakleys. Hands down. I have a pair of Minute 2.0 that are outstanding. Polarized, smudge-resistant lenses, snug (yet extremely comfortable) fit, 100% filtering of UVA, UVB, and UVC. They also meet Industry impact standards, which makes them a great choice for shooting as well as daily wear.
Completely worth the cost.
If you are an LEO, military, or in EMS, you can get substantial discounts through Standard Issue.
I bought a pair of Remington T-71 glasses. Yesterday while at an indoor range which has partitions separating each shooter position I had powder blow into my face from the next stall. It was from a .357 Magnum shell. The glasses saved my eyes but the powder seems to have permanently marred both lenses.
Best glasses I have found for anything outdoors are the Smith Optics Factor D Max. They come with 4 colors of lenses. They are between $100 to $150 depending if you get polarized or not. Their "ignitor" lens is amazing for hazy days. Best part is if you do manage to scratch a lens, you can get replacements for $40 - $60 per set, so you dont have to buy a whole new set of glasses.
I found these when Oakley discontinued the only frame in their line that fit my fat head. I have been very happy with them.
If you need any correction, or want to choose between 13 colors, I recommend the Randolph Ranger system. They are available at Custom Sportswear & Optical They can make your shooting glasses using your Doctor's prescription.
i have some ice (i think) from galls.com. they have changable lenses. come w/ clear, yellow & grey. very cofortable to wear. i also use a set to ride my harley, that way i can change lenses if i'm out too late
