Re: goggles for furniture faces?
i just have the visors on my helmets and one on a headband with ear defenders for strimming in hot weather. the only solution i can offer is to buy a pair of frames designed for sports and have polycarbonate lenses put in. I wear oakley prescription glasses and sunglasses when i'm working and they have stood up to some hammer. only problem is the price

SSG jockey goggles, 17quid a pair, irridescent, orange, yellow or clear. They are close fitting, so not suitable for all frames.

Re: goggles for furniture faces?
i have posted these before, i dont wear glasses so cant comment on the fit, but manufacutures state should fit most presscription glasses
Uvex > Products > Safety Eyewear > Safety Goggles > ultrasonic these are also the same ones stihl badge as their own they start at about £4.50 a pair on ebay and are very comfortable i wear them under my visor quite a bit especially when strimming or milling |
