DKnoch Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Oakley would be high up on glasses I think just because it’s been a popular brand for years, and Hunters HD Gold seems to be fairly popular. No clue about ears, I use Premear and like themSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I had some oakley's once. Hated them. Ear muffs caused the temple pieces to dig into my head . The arms are curved in and pointed. No thanks. Used basic Wiley X's for ever.. Sabre maybe ? Now using Military BC's prescriptions. Get 2 pair free a year. Far as ears,,, umm whatever yellow ones Lowes had,, Pelltor ? plus squishy foams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvDog Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 For over ear, I’m using MSA Sordins with gel cups. Eyes are ESS Crossbow Supporessor. The flat temples make over ear muffs work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Still haven’t found anything better than Rudy Project glasses. Peltor tactical Pro with gel cups are awesome ear pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT_Schultz Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Since I work in an industrial field, my prescription glasses are also ANSI Z87.1 and I'd rather wear soft foam ear plugs which, when correctly inserted, have an NRR superior to almost any set of earmuffs from anyone. Plus I sweat like a pig under the ear muff cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promtcy Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 That would be somewhat interesting. Probably depends on the discount, sponsorship, etc. I'd bet eyes top three would be Oakley, Rudy Project and Hunters. Ears I'd bet some form of in ear electronic. E.A.R, Soundgear, ESP, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffs are the only thing that handles that much noise for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are still taking damage through the soft tissue around the ear canal. Might "sound " a bit quieter. But ur ear parts are still getting beat up. The muffs surround the whole area. At work and at the range I tend to where foamy's or tripple flange rubber all the time. Then put the muffs on when I head into a high noise area or when I am actually shooting or RO'ing someone. Seems we had a discussion at one time where certain folks were refusing to RO for certain open shooters. Those with Tanfo;s running loudshot seem to ring a bell..... LOL,, pun intended.

I wear doubles when shooting indoor. Otherwise I just wear well-fitted plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1911 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I used to just wear foamies or just muffs, but the past couple months I've been using both. Standard foamies and Walkers Razor electronic muffs. Still let's me hear talking but really cuts down on the open shooters guns. Eye protection, I've been using Wiley X Guard for probably 6-7 years.

Not worth the risk and I can still hear the timer just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furyalecto Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Rudy. Mostly double plug with msa sordin with the gels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malarky112 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Had Oakleys, switched to Rudys this year because they claimed not to fog up. They're better then the oakley but I still get a bit of moisture build up on the lense in the heat. I just switched to walker electronic in ear plugs. I prefer muffs but they get too dang sweaty when its hot out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

race1911 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) Oakley photochromatic, vented (so I don't ever have to change lenses or glasses due to varying light conditions or fogging up) and MSA Sordin extreme with GelCaps over in-ear foamy plugs (best overall hearing protection especially around Open guns or indoors) Edited July 22, 2020 by race1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
