    The above amazon.com does not ship to Canada.

    Search also for 3M 47030 - same product (apparently)

    That's what I saw too. I was wondering if bsand had found them under a different name or reseller or is picking them up from a cross border mailbox

    I think they are also called Prophylactic Overglasses because you will never get laid once a woman sees you in them...............................

    Since my childhood, I've always needed prescription glasses, but it's only been two years since I've had to wear them all the time, not just for reading or computer work. And since then, I've been looking for safety eyewear that would fit well over my glasses, without being the equivalent of a diving mask, and without feeling like their "arms" were carving their way into my skull with the pressure of the earmuffs.

    Shot Show Range day offered my a chance to try a model from Peltor Sports; Fremen had already talked to me about their electronic ear muffs, and when we visited Peltor's booth, I enquired about their eyewear.

    You will notice that I am not a professional model on this great picture, but it shows me wearing the goggles:

    I had the safety eyewear all day, with my earmuffs on, and I have to say, Woohoo! I started feeling a bit of fatigue only during the last hour - that means that I pretty much didn't even feel I had these things on for a solid six hours straight. Definitely will improve my level of enjoyement during my range visits from now on.
    Have to agree with Lou on these. They were great. 6 hours and no real issues at all with them on. Had them on over large hearing protection and they went unnoticed most of the say.
    Only noticed them once and that was when they caught a bit of splash back on a pistol bay.
    That rifle on the wall of the laborer's cottage or working class flat is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there!
