Nathanb Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I'm an Oakley guy but I've found that I like full frames better. They help me keep the lenses from fogging. I've got the m frame 3.0 gas cans and fuel cells in ballistic versions. I prefer the gas cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrymSIX Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Maybe not the place to comment but MidwayUSA has some pretty good deals on the Oakley Tombstone Reap w/tr22 or black iridium lenses for just over 50$. They are advertising as a one time clearance deal. Figured other BE members might want to take advantage I was going to get Rudy Projects ad that's what i used for cycling, but that deal at midway was too good for me to pass up. I like eyeshield styles personally for any sport. More real estate for field of view. Edited March 11, 2017 by KrymSIX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered the TR22, figured I'll give them a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrymSIX Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 The clarity on Rudy Project and Oakley is definitely superior to the cheap shooting glasses. The level of protection is likely the same, but the clarity of the higher end glasses can be really crucial in target acquisition as well as maintaining good visuals while dealing with the Sun out. At an indoor range the differences will likely be less noticeable. But outdoors the difference in contrast and clarity is huge imo. Better glasses also help with less eye fatigue.

Although I did some research on YouTube and honestly I wouldn't be able to see the difference without watching this Video. Now I'm interested.

KrymSIX Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Valerko, to me the biggest differences are definitely in the ability to perceive contrast as shown in that series of youtube vids. I think once you use a set of high quality glasses outdoor on a bright day where you need some tint to protect from the sun but still need the contrast to see your dot or fiber and need to make out which silhouette is the "non target" in a group of 3 the contrast and added clarity will really pay off.

af220wa Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Rudy works great with prescription. I have a high adjustment level but no problems and better fit than my old ESS. The one thing I noticed is they do scratch easy when putting the corrective lenses in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing I noticed is they do scratch easy when putting the corrective lenses in. With Rudy you do need to be careful because the metal frame the prescription lenses sit in will scratch the polymer sunglass lenses if you're not super careful. I think it has to do with how close the prescription lenses sit relative to the sunglass lense. I think Rudy has the best prescription insert available though.

af220wa Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 It's all about technique and just watching to make sure there is no contact with the lens when you insert them. You may still get rubbing once they are in but it is typically in an area you can't see when you are wearing them. I've also tried using a lens cloth to shield them and that works pretty well but sometimes I don't have one available so I am just more conscious of what I'm doing.

warpcorps Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Due to age related vision issues I "upgraded" from standard protective eyewear to Prescription Oakley HDO lenses this year. Wow - what a difference. Now, with me part of the difference was being able to focus on the front sight which the prescription corrects for, but I also noticed that when using "reader" type safety lenses from Everex, the long distance vision was much more blurry. With the Oakley's - everything from front sight to distance is clear depending on my focal point. The nice part for me was I went to lens crafters and got the eye test, prescription and then they send the whole thing to Oakley for production of the frames and lenses together - so everything is "Oakley". Worth looking at if you've had good vision and now age is starting to Harden your lenses making close focus harder. BW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossgvr4 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) Rudy Rydons for me. they work for me because they have adjustable(replaceable) bridge.

Barracuda Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I'm looking for a good pair of shooting glasses that fit my Asian face. I currently have a pair of Asian Fit Oakley Scalpels that I like, but it's no longer made so I can't get any replacement lenses for it. Looking at the Rudy Project Rydons. Can anybody tell me how they fit or can recommend a pair that might suit my needs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
