My company issues Wiley X for safety use in the field. For: Big Head, Wrap, Sub $100, I can't imagine anything to compete with the Wiley X Titan.
Plus, they meet MIL, ANSI and OSHA standards.

I can stabilize a sucking chest wound or a femur jammed into the abdominal space but a penetrating eye injury not corrected quickly usually results in blindness. When I delivered my orientation lecture to the troops I emphasized the risk of an eye injury above all others. Eyes and hands are always at risk and impossible to replace.

I hate to be a buzzkill on a Saturday night [not really] but you live a high risk lifestyle in a remote setting and I am an old scold.

Mark,


Everyone needs to keep a case of these around. Starlite Safety Glasses

They run $24-25 per box which holds a dozen pairs. Optically good, light weight and comfortable. They are available in Dark , Mirrored, Mocha, and various tints. 15 shades I believe. Order online, or most welding supply stores carry them

Lots of guys wear only these, but I recently bought a bit more expensive pair that is polarized.

Costas. Glass.

They cost. Cost for rework. But worth it to me.

For work $1 pair.

I too, am blessed with a big nugget.

I found the Smith Hideouts work well - without creating a zipper trench on the sides of my head.

This is not hard. Run down to Walmart and buy some Foster Grants. Get the kind that have a hinge that allows the glasses to bend outward with your head. Very comfortable for all head sizes and Foster Grants are Ray Ban quality without the cost. Less than $20. Just about any style you want.

About the only time I go to Walmart is to buy sunglasses. Look in the fishing area. They have glasses for under $5.00 so if you break them who cares. But so far I haven't broken any and being polarized they are great for fishing. Oh, and they do fit my fat head.

Sunglasses help against cataracts. It may not be a big thing now but it may be when they start slicing your eye open.

I have a pretty good sized jug. I once went to a motorcycle shop and asked about a helmet. The owner said if it fits you can have it for my cost. I stuck it on my head and said I'll take it. He came over to check and just said dman, sold. I think it was a 7-3/4. Aside from the numbers, the shape of your head makes a difference. Having rambled on about that I use these.

Go to your eye Dr.’s office and let his/her optician fit you. Most offices have sunglasses from $50 on up.
