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

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

Do you need prescription Z87's?

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.
