elenius Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) I'm looking for quality shooting glasses, and I don't want to look like a space explorer from the 80s. In other words, I'd like some glasses that look like normal sunglasses. Everyone seems to like the rudy project ones, and "guardyan" are the most normal-looking ones to me. http://www.rudyprojectusa.com/products/sun...s/guardyan.htm# Just wondering if anyone has any experience of these. Would they be comfortable with ear muffs? Will they fit a big head? REI has them in their catalog, but my local stores don't have them in stock, so I can't try them on at this time. I'm also considering Oakley Fives Squared http://oakley.com/custom/fives_squared They have these at my local REI, and they are quite comfortable. Forgot to bring ear muffs to the store to test them with though... Edited March 16, 2009 by elenius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the information from the e-rudy.com site on those glasses- Initially developed with military instructors and SWAT units for tactical applications, the Rudy Project GUARDYAN is a full-featured technical sunglass, amazingly versatile and extremely comfortable. Engineered with enhanced wraparound peripheral protection around a sturdy yet slender Grilamid chassis, the Guardyan incorporates adjustable Ergo3 nosepiece for superior customized fit, vented and padded full-face counter mask to provide protection from harsh climatic conditions, and interchangeable temples / strap system for intense sport activities. The proprietary RX insert will accommodate virtually any prescription level and can be mounted with a simple click. Thanks to its unique temple geometry, the Guardyan is compatible with most helmets, making it perfect for motorbike enthusiasts. Unbreakable ImpactX optics will provide superior protection, stunning optical acuity and cutting edge light management technology. Go to our forum area for more info and discounts.

Vulture Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Definetly go with the Rudy's. KGentry is offering killer discounts through the forum here so don't miss out. I just picked up some spare lenses for a substantial reduction in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegRob Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Some of these glasses have very thick frames. I find this to be a problem, as the frame will often cover my eye from the sights, as I cant my head forward to shoot. This might not be a problem for you.
