    2017 SHOT Show: Finally found safety eyewear that fits over my glasses

    Ok, I'll admit, this may not be a finalist for the "Post of the Year" award, but, it does mark the end of a two-year quest of mine.

    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.

    Hey Lou: Are these available in Canada, if so where? Didn't see you and your entourage at the MILSURP match last Saturday. There was quite a turnout for a winter match.Had to be about 40-45 people.

    Thanks,

    Doug

    I think 3M Canada is the distributor; not sure about dealers though.

    Indeed I missed the winter milsurp match, won't miss the spring shoot!

    The name of the product would be oh so helpful.

    Well, the ones I tried were very similar to these, if not the actual same.
