safety glass's

[Lawn-Guy]

what does everyone wear for safety glass's

i wear oakleys what does eveyone else wear? and why?

[Bush_Baron]

Vallen Safety Co's. Olympic style, tortoise frame, amber lens, with a +1.50 bifocal built in, red frogger lanyard. Hey, I'm gettin old and I hate flippin from readers to sunglasses. These are ANSI Z87.2 approved with a built in bifocal for only $12 bucks. Why do I wear them? #1, I can't play a musical instrument. #2, the guys that write the checks require them

[Grass Happens]

I wear safety glasses...

[Alpha Property]

i wear regular every day glasses, thats all

[DLAWNS]

I have Oakleys also. I got a great deal on them a while back and love them more than any other glasses.

[meicher806]

I wear sthil safety glasses, I have several pairs, different frames and lens colors, and they are only 12.00 a set

[igotdiesel2]

I wear Oakley's as well. They are safety glass rated. They wrap around your eyes real nice. I get a new pair every year. My 8 yo neice lost a eye when she was 2. New glasses every year is a SMALL price to pay. -Jason

[thegreenreaper]

I wear safety sunglasses I pick up at Lowe's. I like them have a few pairs now.

[tyler_mott85]

Actual safety glasses. I have three different pairs. Tinted, Smoked, and Clear.
I have had more stuff fly at my from underneath my glasses than directly at so I just feel like actual safety glasses are better at wrapping around my face and protecting from the sides and below.
Granted the bigger stuff like mulch or rocks do come straight at me.
Anyone taken a rock to the nose or lip?:cry: Either that or a rock to your white knuckles on a trimmer...that'll almost bring me to my knees.

[Dan85]

Anyone have any good suggestions for over-the-glasses safety glasses? I tried to get by without safety glasses, but I catch too much stuff under my frames. I use some from Lowes (tourguard) but just wondering if some of you guys have other recommendations.

Thanks
- Dan

[steve m]

smoke safety glasses blue safety glasses clear safety glasses and all uv pro

[EagleGrounds]

I wear the Stihl Saftey/Sun glasses

[Jason Rose]

Last summer I finally realized that I didn't need to be wearing my precription glasses. I can see fine! But after years of having them as protection (somewhat) I knew I needed something over my eyes.

I ended up getting the "OCC" saftey glasses from Lowes. I have 2 pair of the red tinted ones, no they don't make everything look red... They are $30 but I like them because unlike cheapo saftey glasses these can be adjusted to fit properly. I also keep a couple pair of the bluish/clear ones handy for mowing on cloudy dark days, and also for working in the shop.

[White Gardens]

I've tried cheapos and expensive safety glasses and realized I tear them up all the same. I go through a pair once a month, after a while they just get pitted and scratched badly.

I've split my lips more than a couple of times, and I love taking a rocks in the legs, nothing like doubling over in pain for a couple of minutes on a job site.

[DaughtryLC]

I wear Ray Ban

[grincon]

I also wear stihl safety glasses the camo ones:cool2:

[MC Handy Man]

since I am a red head with freckles all over I have qwite fair skin. I wear Oakley Sun glasses that are safty rated. My family has a history of skin and retinal cancer so i wear anything to block the rays from my eyes along with a hat.

[Nick's Lawn Care]

I wear Oakleys also.

[STIHL GUY]

i got sunglasses that are actually safety glasses at Home Depot

[4.3mudder]

Safety sunglasses from Stihl, blue, and some other colors, I think I have like 10 of them?? I like to lay them down everywhere. Plus, they fit tight to your head so they won't come off due to sweat and shaking around.

[RGM]

i got sunglasses that are actually safety glasses at Home Depot

I get mine at depot too, and allways carry extra for idiot helpers

[NEW CITY LAWN CARE LLC]

Smith & Wessons for me, very comfortable!

[kmclawn]

I get my safety glasses from ACME Electric. Each of my employees gets a pair of smoked and clear lens when they start. They are the wrap around type so they do protect quite well. They only cost $6.00 a pair. I don't take any chances with eyes.

[IntegrityGuy]

I wear my oakleys as well. #1 they look good. #2 they are comfortable. #3They have great eye protection.#4 They have a great replacement policy, if anything breaks just send them in.

Anyone who does not wear them you have to be an idiot. I was one of those guys who never wore them until i had a pebble going probably aroun 50mph right into the centre of my eye. I droped to the ground in the worst pain ever. Iwas luckly near my house so i didnt even finish the yard and just walked home. an hour later i went back and finished the yard and then was done for the day. Anyways a pebble in the eye will ruin your day.

I wear Evelex safety/sun glasses, but I think I'm going to check out the Stihl ones from all of the positive remarks I've read. Any one have a recommendation as to a good all around lens color?

[kmclawn]

I buy mine locally, but this should be the link to a supplier.

http://www.safetyglassesusa.com/allsafe-nemesis.html?gclid=CPCgzMOpjZkCFSQMDQodYC90bA

The model is Nemesis and I purchase one pair of clear and smoked for each of my employees. They really seem to like the style and I like the cost of $6.00 a pair. They also come with a nerd strap if you like them.

[WrightWay05]

i wear oakleys but i believe they may be safety rated they are the big ones i call them nascar glasses but they work really well.

[02DURAMAX]

I wear my bike glasses Best dam Glasses you can buy..If they can take a rock hit at 110+MPH then thay can take what ever a trimmer throws at it.

Plus there foam padded so nothing gets in there!

[grassman177]

i have some stihl and my guys turned me on to a brand called Pugs. they have some poly carb styles and they fit very well and hold up well. got em at a gas station

[Cuttinitclose]

I wear Stihl Crossfires.

[grass_cuttin_fool]

Safety sunglasses from Stihl, blue, and some other colors, I think I have like 10 of them?? I like to lay them down everywhere. Plus, they fit tight to your head so they won't come off due to sweat and shaking around.

I use the same ones....have 2-3 pair with different lenses for different days

[Mike's LawnCare Landscape]

i wear regular every day glasses, thats all

same here to bad that was not on the poll

[grassman177]

sorry fellas, but i have to say this. ANY OF YOU that dont wear some sort of actual poly carb or simlar safety rated glasses are complete idiots. it is all too easy to lose an eye and then you are royally screws for the rest of your life!!!!!!!!!!!! cmon!~!!!!!!

wear the geeky over the glasses kind if you have to, idid once----get contacts, something. think about it guys, why in the world would you chance the possiblity---and even with actual glasses that will shatter if hit hard!!!!! sorry i had to vent. gald to see so many doing the right thing, the professinal thing and wearing safety eye wear

[W8N4grow]

I'd wear over-the-glass safety glasses but I haven't found a pair I reguarly want to wear. That's the key, USING them. I've got a couple pair, but they don't seem to make it to the ZTR with me. I'm still looking for the pair that fits good enough to want to wear.

I have used these side shields before and they're not bad. You do need prescription safety glass lenses to be completely covered however.

[theminigardener7]

I require myself and all of my helpers to wear safety glasses during the use of handheld equipment. If I ever catch those guys not using them, the owe me 20 bucks.... that usually reminds them

[treegal1]

yep...always.....

[TMlawncare]

Smith & Wesson Magnums for the crew and myself. They look,fit very well. Best I have found yet. I make the guys wear them anytime they are using trimmers or mowers. No excuses.

[Magnum Services]

[laxative]

The huge over the glasses kind that make me look blind. I hate them.

[wildncrazyguy]

Great post! Everyone should wear safety glasses because you only have 2 eyes. I'm all for safety for stuff like that, and even have a couple of pairs smoke and clear, but I usually don't wear them, only because when I sweat and start dripping, they are a real pain. Not to mention the fog. I get so frustrated, I usually go without. Last weekend I got some crap in the eye while weed whackin'... So, it put an emphasis back on me to get something that works, even if I have to pay some real bucks. I just spent the last hour looking at all the safety glasses on a site mentioned a couple times in this thread. So, question I have for everyone is regarding the sweat and fog, is there anything that works? The expensive Oakleys or the cheapos? I'm a Stihl guy myself and like to hear they are popular. Must check them out, but, will they work for sweat and fog?

[freshprince94]

I wear sthil safety glasses, I have several pairs, different frames and lens colors, and they are only 12.00 a set

Same here...the Stihl glasses are great...my dealer sells them.

[green monster]

I definately wear safety glasses. My dealer always has a few nicer ones for sale for around $10. ECHO and Stihl ones are actually pretty nice and are both around $10. I don't wear the expensive ones because I always eventually end up either losing them or breaking them.

[northtexaslawnman]

Cheap safety glasses! WEAR EM! Give old pair to new hands and grab frsh pair for yourself.

[sven1277]

Inexpensive Stihl brand safety sunglasses.

[dlaros]

I used to wear oakleys, then I lost them. So I bought a sweet set of safety glasses.

http://www.wolfpeak.net/#/GLASSES/DAKURA

[LawnTamer]

I wear treated sunglasses, that are OSHA/ANSI approved for shatter resistance, and they have to have UVA/B protection, and wrap around pretty good, ya only get 2 eyes!

[Supper Grassy]

what version sthils and uvex?

[MJS]

I just go with a pair of good sunglasses. . . safety glasses hurt my head after a while.

What I want to know is who the one guy is who wears a full face mask? lol

[dlaros]

Try EDGE safety glasses, they don't hurt your head.

[Lawn Freak]

I've got some really nice lookin safety glasses but always forget to wear them. I need to just get in the habit

[mowerdude777]

I waere the ones made by ao safty and love them

[HighGrass]

You guys that have replied to this thread and are using sunglasses or a pair of blue blockers are nuts. Think about it. How much would you spend to replace your eyes. That's right, you can't. Get a pair of approved, safety impact glasses and wear em. If you weed whacker can throw a piece of debris at your eye at about 60MPH or more, what do think will give?
I prefer a more coverage and in three years I can easily say they saved my eyes a hundred times. They give me everything I'm looking for. Great field of view, they slip over my peltors and they are vented. I go through about two pair a year and they are well worth the money, which really isn't that much.http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/414JV2u0zrL._SL500_AA280_.jpg
Go to amazon.com and get 4 pair. Keep a pair in a baggy in your ditty bag in the truck. They clean-up with soap and water real well or even the armor all clean-wipes. Sunglasses don't keep out the dust and the side debris, these do. Are they hot in the summer? I've worn them in 95 deg heat for over an hour at a time and they are fine. I use the clear ones in the fall and the smoke ones the rest of the time.

[Wizz]

I wear the Stihl safety glasses as they have a big area of coverage/protection...they are UV resistant as well...not to mention they are Free with a Stihl pruchase. And yes...wear approved/certified safety glasses...my brother is 100% blind in one eye due to a rock flying out from an edger and hitting him in the eye from 30ft away.

[mowerdude777]

I wear safety sunglasses I pick up at Lowe's. I like them have a few pairs now.

Those are the best in my oppion

[93Chevy]

What I want to know is who the one guy is who wears a full face mask? lol

I didn't think I'd be the only one, lol.

LMAO! funny.


I use Stihl safety glasses. @ $10 a pair, ya cant beat it!

[bobcat48]

I have a pair of smith and wesson,never really wore them,but i should start wearing them.

[grizzlylandscaper]

I wear stihl timbersports series, cant even tell they're safty glasses, they look like sunglasses and they fell good on your head too.

[yardguy28]

i wear the one's that look like cool sunglasses you get at lowes. never had a problem with them.

[lawnboy852]

I have a pair of oakleys that I use. They really can take some crazy abuse, look around on youtube and check it out. Further, I also use the frames with a different lens sets to row in, so they are the sport type, big full coverage type deal. They are also one of very few styles that our government has decided to provide to the military. The way I see it if the govt says it can protect soldiers from explosion shrapnel, anything I can throw at it is a piece of cake.

Not only that but the interchangeable lenses are so nice, and the optics and quality, though pricey are well worth it. I have lenses in a black polarized, hivis persimmon/amber, and clear in flakjacket frames and I love them! look around on ebay for some deals...

[JeffNY]

I don't know if they're 'Safety' glasses, but I buy the ones from the Harley Davidson shop. They have foam around them and fit nice

[knox gsl]

I like the stihl timbersports great side coverage, which is most important when mowing. These glasses have taken debri thrown from the mower deflected off a tree then into my head, I will not leave home without them. The only draw back is that my dealer is usually out becase they are a hot item.

[bradseabridge]

I wear the military grade oakleys, they are shatter proof and impact resistant. I get them because my dad is DOD and anyone in Gov't or military can get em. If not your out of luck.

The military spec ones are different than the consumer grade, thicker and made of different materials.

Man hell yeah!!! I need gloves and a full mask! I get hit on the nose and lip and on the hands more than I get sh*t to fly at my eyes.

[cuttin-to-the-Max]

Man hell yeah!!! I need gloves and a full mask! I get hit on the nose and lip and on the hands more than I get sh*t to fly at my eyes.

UGHHHHHH!!!!!!! :cry:

[TurboMazda]

[Texas Lawn]

[bradseabridge]

oakley gas can polarized pretty scuffed on the front but they are still super clear somehow, been hit in the eye with a washer while under my truck with em on, had rocks and other debris thrown at em. They good but I also have some mil-spec oakley I wear sometimes.

[Glenn Lawn Care]

I wear cheap sun glasses.

[bradseabridge]

the oakleys im wearing are a pair I found after I bought a new pair because I thought they were lost.

[Lefet]

Just wanted to say thanks to whom ever I read on this thread about "Safetyglassesusa.com"
We ordered about 6 different pair to try out, including one with bifocals and we love them. No fogging, different styles, peace of mind and best of all, no more yelling over loud equipment to the other to "PUT YOUR GLASSES ON!!"

Thanks again.

[JFGauvreau]

I wear Oakley's sunglasses, they work good I guess. But the other day while I was using the trimming a rock hit me right in the nose.. I hate when that happens

[jeslee16]
