    Default Shooting glasses / goggles

    Are there any shooting goggles / glasses that use a strap instead of the arm pieces. I've found military type goggles, but they are overkill for the range and seemed to be designed for use in snow and sand conditions.

    I've found that when I'm at a range when someone is shooting high powered pistols or rifles I prefer to wear both ear plugs and over the ear protectors and glasses don't fit when wearing them.

    I end up with the eyeglass arms? and hence the lenses about 45 degrees from normal. Makes it awkward to see.

    Thanks.

    Maybe this? They're cheaper on ebay. Interchangeable elastic straps or arms/temples.

    i find the same problem, i like the ear muff style protection, and it just doesnt work well with regular glasses, i usually tuck them in or do the 45 degree angle thing, or usually dont even wear them.

    Check Gemplers. (http://www.gemplers.com/) They carry a wide variety of safety glasses and goggles for spray protection, maybe something there will work for you.

    They carry hearing protection too. We used the MAX ear plugs at work, I found them very comfortable and they have a NRR of 33

    I've had 3 pair of M frames and when I went to the 2.0's and they are AWESOME! Sounds like they will fit the bill.

    I have a couple pairs of these laying around, I mostly use them for when I'm working my dremel, but they have a tendency to fog up. That tends to be the problem with a lot of goggle-style eye protection. As mentioned above, both Oakley and ESS over flat-armed eyeprotection that is compatible with over the ear hearing protection.
