Shooting glasses?

[Hillclimb]

Anyone have good experiences with a particular brand of shooting glasses?

I've been having problems with sweating and my ESS glasses fogging terribly; on the flat range, and even worse in the shoot house.

I've googled a few reviews, then pulled the glasses up on Amazon and read some of the customer reviews, and it's made me apprehensive on my purchase.

So far I'm leaning towards the Revision Hellfly.

I have the Hellfly as well. Revision is a great company that supports us.

With that said, I always come back to Oakley. Their .gov discount program is pretty good as well.

Do you need optical inserts, or are you just shooting with glasses.

ESS sucks balls,

I have used Revision, and am now running Oakleys. Both good glasses, more robust than the ESS glasses.

My Hellflys finally fell apart after about four years of use (purchased Jan 2011, just retired about a month ago). I'll probably buy another pair; they did better than my Half Jackets did.

Their CS is top-notch.

Just shooting with glasses/eye pro.

I'll probably go with the revisions and an anti fog solution

IIRC... Revision gives a discount to ShadowSpear members.... I have the Hellfly mil package... nice glasses, and the ability to put moveable Rx lenses behind the protective lenses is nice.... and cost effective.

Revisions are good glasses.
I switched to Oakley because the shop making my inserts only does Oakley and ESS, and ESS sucks balls.

x SF Med is correct about a discount.

Look for posts from user Revision, they did offer a Shadow Spear discount, he/she put it in a post.

I have not found an anti-fog solution that's worth anything. What are you using?

My Revision glasses held up quite well overseas. I use them for when I'm out shooting, and my Oakley half jackets when I just want to look pretty.

I was bought a few years back by Kim's mom, ESS Cross bows that I used for my anti-vomit glasses at work. I wear what I call AIDs glasses and have been for years. I wanted Oakley's, the sweeps but can't see spending $100 for work glasses. I was wearing UVEX and I think they make shooting glasses that are cheap. The ESS lenses scratch easy and the nose rubber piece is glued in 2 pieces and the glue drys up resulting in nose piece falling apart. Fuck ESS. I did register with Gov-x to see what they have...

F.M.

Usstandardissue.com is Oakley's .gov discount site; never pay full retail for Oakleys.

Go to SHOT, go to the Revision booth and chat up the guys there.... you might get a set of sawfly's .... it's happened before...

Ballistic M-Frames with 2 lenses for $108 on oakleysidotcom. I'll never buy glasses anywhere else.

I have a couple of pairs of sawflys around here somewhere. You (hillclimb) can have em if I can find em... I'll take a look tomorrow.

I'll let you know.

Hahaha

Awesome. Thanks everyone for the suggestion, and thanks @compforce . Keeping my fingers crossed.

Got a few things inbound; hoping they don't fog up. May have to buy that Catcrap and see if it's the answer.

OK, so bad news, good news situation.

I have two complete ESS goggle kits
I found all of the ballistic lenses for my Oakley Half Jackets
I found the MSA issue headset
I found some other stuff that I was wondering about.
I have TONS of lenses and accessories for the sawflys (at least 4 sets), but no frame.

As you may have guessed, that was the bad news.

The good news is that I also found a set of Smith Optics Aegis which you are more than welcome to. I have the frames and both clear and tinted ballistic lenses. Let me know if you want them.
