Safety Glasses


Is there a pair that shines above the rest?

I've filtered through about every design I could find in the $2-5 range and they've all been garbage imo. Finding a pair that won't slide down my face is a tough job.

I was thinking of getting these: http://www.safetyglassesusa.com/11653.html

Anti fog and ability to keep dust/ woodchips from coming around the sides and bottom are a plus for me

Re: Safety Glasses


Try the radians rad infinity from safetyglassesusa. We have gotten these several times and they are very comfortable and cost is about $5.50/pr if u buy 12 or more. I usually buy a few dozen of glasses that we like and buy a few singles of other ones we haven't tried yet. Each guy gets to be a guinea pig for 1 new brand each time.

I got some at the HD for $15 and they've been the best sunglasses I've had in years. Everything adjusts on them and they have great clarity. My wife bought me some Maui Jims for my birthday but I still wear my HD ones, love em.

You actually expected to find quality eye protection at that price in minimum quantities ?

Well I had no benchmark to go by at the time but now I do

I just stumbled upon these "clic" glasses, hoping they make a safety/osha approved pair soon http://impulseclics.com/whatclicks.html

We put a little heat to the nose bridge and bend them to fit snug . Gives a nice tight fit and comfy . Key word is "little" .

safety glasses are necessary tools in construction and everyone should have it to protect their eyes. I don't have one suggest but, try to find a good quality safety glasses that you are comfortable.

Re: Safety Glasses


Hey,
I found a company based in NY that has the best prices on safety glasses. They dont have a website, you have to call to place an order.
You might want to try them out, they have almost everything.
............................................
They usually sell only wholesale but will sell retail if you call them.
Good luck!!
