safety glasses that don't hurt when wearing ear defenders

[Richard Thompson]

yeah the foam ear plugs would work, but when i'm working with other people like today (doing traffic duty for two guys topped some over hanging ash) it would be a pain taking off my gloves, removing plugs, communicating, re-fitting plugs, putting gloves back on every time someone wants to communicate

 

when i'm doing ground work i wear banded foam plugs just for the reasons you stated as soon as the trunk is felled, out come the big defenders.

when climbing i use the silicone tree ear plugs that still let me hear someone on the ground but will cut the high picthed noise out

Oakley radarlock polarised, not bad in an Ozzie summer with Husky msa muffs and tax deductible

 

warning - this sig causes splinters

I find the following glasses very comfortable under ear defenders, thin and soft arms so don't dig in https://www.frjonesandson.co.uk/products-page/pfanner/clothing-accessories/pfanner-nexus-safety-glasses/

I would suggest the petzl visir but I'm not talking from experience, just from what I think I'm going to do about the same problem. Does anyone have any cons on them? https://honeybros.com/Item/Petzl_Vizir

I use these: Mesh-Specs BX Mesh Safety Glasses

 

Other mesh specs are available - but these ones are the coolest as they make you jump higher and whistle louder...

Have you considered wearing ear buds or whatever they're called instead of the helmet mounted ear defenders?

 

Sympathise with you getting hit in the eye, my eyes seem to be chip magnets too, was looking at an overgrown laurel hedge yesterday that the owner wanted quoted for and managed to poke myself in the eye with a damn leaf

 

Leaf minor damage is what it's called.

Yeah those leaf miners can seriously damage your ears and eyes!

think i'll give the Pfanner Nexus safety glasses a try.

Only if it's raining, sawdust gets stuck on it but I wear mine in addition to the mesh vizor so I can push the vizir up and just use the mesh, both operate independently.

That's good to know. I was under the impression you had to use one or the other
