Safety glasses for strimming

[aob9]

Can anyone suggest a good comfortable set of safety glasses/goggles for strimming? It seems no matter what I wear I manage to get something to shoot right into the corner of my eye to ruin my day.

I've always used the mesh visors on the helmets as i find goggles don't last very long and get steamed up quickly.

Stihl ones are good. Put toothpaste on them, then wipe it off with kitchen roll to stop them steaming up

Or Neat Fairy Liquid and wipe it off. We would recommend using both mesh visor and glasses. Currently using Sperian Op-tema Blue Temples clear lense from Arco - about £4 a pair. I find the most important thing is to have a good soft glass case with them as its rarely in use they get scratched but in storage sitting in the vans.

Thanks for tips. The mesh visor gives me 99.5% protection but it's the 0.5% that gets me every time. Today it was dog poo, very,very unpleasant.

you can get a clear plastic visor to go inplace of the mesh one on the husky/balance helments, they had them at college, there alright, i prefered them to the mesh visor

Double up perhaps, safety spec's and mesh visor. Always go down this route when I'm using the brush blade anyways, especially when its stoney old ground.

You don't want goggles, they steam up. And a helmet and visor for strimming? All we use is safety specs, no need for visors or guards on the strimmers. Much quicker that way.

 

Good, close fitting specs than don't pinch your temple when worn with ear defenders are the Sperian range (Screwfix is a good place to get hold of them) or Oregon.

 

As Gareth says, get a case for them.
