Shooting Glasses...Which Brand/Model?

I use ESS Supressors. Slim arms so your ears are more comfortable under ear muffs. Also most quality ballistic glasses have the option to put a prescription set of lenses inside the protective lenses. ESS and Revision for sure, others I suspect do it as well. I also subscribe to the "all the money in the world can't buy me new eyes" idea, and so the Supressors aren't cheap. Way more comfortable than my issued Revisions though.

Oakley and Smith also offer frames with slim arms. If your wearing muffs its the way to go. (Thick arms tend to break the seal)

I've been using the ESS suppressors for 6 years and really like them. I don't have anything to compare them to but I quite like them. I offten forget I'm wearing them which says a lot.
 
If you have not checked out Pilla Sports, it's worth a google.At the HIGH end of the scale.
Not for everyone...but quite the selection of frames and lenses.
Just picked up a set of 3 lens/580's and they are extremely comfortable and effective.

Thanks for all the feedback, I think clarity and scratch resistance are huge factors. I have used safety glasses while shooting that were good when new but after a few sessions the scratches built up and I started taking them off...back to square one.

There's a poster up on the range bulletin board offering ESS crossbows with 5 lenses for $70...Tempting at that price but I think I'll check out the Oakleys so I have a good baseline for comparison.

If you are happy with contacts for Rx then Rudy Project is a very good and reasonable price-wise choice.
They have Rydon kit that comes with 5 sets of lenses for diff sun and UV filtering levels from clear to quite dark.
Lenses come with lifetime scratch and damage warranty and their OPTICAL quality is absolutely amazing center to edge!
They can make Rx lenses in color etc depending on your Rx strength.

Also, one can have the set for about 1/2 MSRP with a coupon code.

I got the set back 5-6 years ago and haven't seen anything close to it in optical quality, comfort, warranty and overall for a casual or competitive shooter.
 
As with any shooting gear, it all depends on what you are doing.
I shoot F class and found the same thing, I need a quality product with versatility!
I went with the Randolph Ranger for these reasons.
First was fit and function, stays in place and doesn't break the seal on my ear protection.
Second reason was interchangeable lenses for different light conditions.
Thirdly, as I need a reading prescription I had the correction ground in the lower lens to facilitate close up work- ie adjusting turrets and scoring on my plot sheets.
These work for me!
