broadside72 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Big head here and when I wear muffs they squeeze fairly hard and after a few stages all the glasses i have tried start to hurt around my ears because the temples on the glasses are not flat. Any recommendations for wide face and flat temple shooting glasses? I have not found this discussed here yet and the glasses mfg websites have terrible photos so I can't really tell how flat they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they really flexible\soft? They look like my Beretta glasses that irritate me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverscooby27 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) They sit pretty flat. They are not super rigid so they will conform. The only other glasses I found comfortable in this way are my Pillas but they are $$$$$$$$$$$$.

FatPanda Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Moved to a nice pair of ear buds and haven’t looked back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broadside72 Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 Moved to a nice pair of ear buds and haven’t looked back! I use molded plugs when I'm only shooting. But when I RO I prefer electronic ear muffs so I can hear everything and have better protection since I'm not always directly behind the shooter I've tried unpaired electronic Walker's but didn't like them. Plus battery life sucked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TEP 100s suck but I hear there are others that aren’t too pricey that do a pretty good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beef15 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Wiley-X look for a fit that says large. The lenses scratch easy, I get replacements thru Fuse, the rubber fails after a couple years, but they're light, the ear pieces are thin and snug to the head, and I believe every pair has an actual Z87.1 rating and whatever the Mil spec is. The ones I loved are no longer in the line, I got some Oakleys instead, they're alright, but I probably get some more Wileys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvDog Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 The other nice thing about the ESS I posted is that they can take an inset for prescription lenses if you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
