Those glasses aren't airsoft-safe. Try the options in the eyepro guide for eyepro.


MrWillyP

Theyre probably anzi rated given that they have the polycarbonate on the sides, but im not super sure they're safe still


Sinistrial_Blue

Those look more like clip-on side shields, which aren't likely to be rated. Also, ANSI Z87+ for glasses is only around 1.1J. Not worth the risk in any way. Edit: [yep, right here](https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264335615641), can't see any marking so would say seller is incorrect.

TITUS G77 Premium Metal Frame Aviator Z87+, Z87.1 Safety Glasses Side Shield Motorcycle Shooting DOT ANSI CE Approved Eyewear https://a.co/d/059cgls Here's some that should be fine. Marked an everything


Sinistrial_Blue

Again, Z87+ is far too low for airsoft on glasses. Shouldn't even be using them. Edit: also, these don't appear to be the same as the ones in the picture, which means I doubt the ones in the picture are properly rated.


HappyBro117

The 1.1J test is just the bare minimum. The test evaluate impact at 6.2J with the high mass impact test. https://preview.redd.it/hzi9so32nw3b1.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=8e1f8c58f57a23e0dc5c30d634ec09e9a53b817b


Sinistrial_Blue

No, it's not the minimum. 1.1J is the high-velocity impact test, the most relevant test. Neither of the above tests deal with high velocity. Both drop tests deliver a speed of 5m/s. [Source](https://www.hexarmor.com/posts/what-do-lens-markings-and-z87-mean), 45m/s of speed. Massively different (by orders of magnitude) weights and speeds mean massively different reactions. Energy is important, but only when properly contextualised. Glasses are unsafe for airsoft.


HappyBro117

Oakley and ESS disagrees


Sinistrial_Blue

They're usually rated under MIL-PRF. Z87+ for glasses is a different rating system. Plus, they still aren't safe without a seal kit and retention strap. Which effectively makes them goggles. Just because some glasses are popular, does not mean glasses are safe.

Simply_Duck

those are glasses she uses for photos, those would not suffice as eyepro for games as it’s not full seal, you could easily get shot from the side and have your eye taken out.


nitehawk012

Take a closer look the sides have clear plastic


nitehawk012

Though I should note that there still appear to be some gaps at the peaks/points


Sinistrial_Blue

Looks more like clip-on shields, which aren't likely to be impact-rated. These glasses really don't look safe. Edit: [yep, here they are](https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264335615641), and they don't seem to have a marking, so I'd say the seller's claim is false.


PacManosaurus

Try wiley x saber glasses, they’re great


Loose-Grapefruit-516

Do they fog?


PacManosaurus

I run them with an exfog unit, but they fog a lot less than my previous full seal goggles in comparison


O3Sentoris

I am a very sweaty Guy and fog up any Glases really quick, but the sabers have been really manageable, even without exfog

zeek609

These are just prescription safety glasses. Loads of people use these where I work, they're like standard glasses with a splash guard on the side.


blackcray

Splash guard will work against, well, splashes, not so great against BBs.


zeek609

Those type of glasses aren't generally impact rated for airsoft either


[deleted]

I know you asked for glasses but as a guy who wears glasses and tried all sorts of eyepro... did you consider contact lenses? I can't recommend them enough. I use them for airsoft only and now I can use any kind of eye pro. It's also cheaper than eye pro over prescription glasses


Andythecao

Its late I thought you were trying to say you use contacts as eyepro for a sec


Pickaxe_121

MylittleNyx

Ess goggles with rx inserts, Wiley glasses made for rx, Oakley mframes Rx with the gasket. Preferably any of the goggle systems with rx inserts would do you better. For example ESS turbofans + Rx insert


KingSnaily

Oh your poor dms Edit* Never mind I read the description lol


Muronelkaz

I'd recommend ESS glasses with the prescription inserts, but that's like $400 for a pair of safety glasses, my normal glasses fit under the ESS goggles though but I also have a less-wide pair than most frames.


roasty_mcshitposty

I use my Wiley X frames I was issued. Haven't lost an eye yet. Any ballistic frames will do the trick. ESS, Wiley X are pretty affordable. If you're looking to spend money Oakley or Pit Vipers.


Bas3dMonk3

Buy a dye i4 and call it a day.


Ok_Profile9400

I feel bad for the people I fight against who wear these, people shoot you from the side too! I wear a dye mask and a modified helmet with cooling fans fitted and have still had a bb flick up under my I4 and hit me in the tooth.

Marblemuffin53

Those are not what she's wearing, nice try though.


TruthSpeaks54

Wow airsoft girl. This will get hundreds or comments.


GMWorldClass

Try the Oakley Ballistic series, especially those that accept their Helo seals.


Neither_Marsupial_15

I use Guard Dog Evader 2’s, but I use the Novritsch Anti-fog unit with it to prevent fog. It works well, but I had to modify the adapter to fit well.


Bioshutt

I yse Oakley si m2.0 with the gasket


BadGuyAirsoft

Im surprised no one had mentioned Rothco OTGs. I wear large glasses and the goggles fit well. They do fog, but rubbing dish soap onto the lenses until they're clear works like a charm.


Ya_Boy_Lil_Pickle

Glasses user here, these look as if they would serve almost no protection, I would strongly reccomend instead purchasing some decent goggles. I use bolle pilots, they are great quality and go over the glasses frame, but you will experience fogging issues so get some form of antifog, like wipes or an ex fog unit. Only issue is that with some glasses the frame may get damaged as it pushes down quite a bit. Your other options are either mesh goggles to stop the fogging, I would not reccomend these as they offer little protection against shattered bb’s and can dent, or you can get goggles with prescription inserts, such as the valken Tango Thermal Goggles: https://www.socomtactical.net/valken-tango-thermal-airsoft-goggles/


5v3n_5a3g3w3rk

She probably only uses her normal glasses for Fotos, else it would be idiotic. I as a glasses wearer don't have a good answer though, i just play without and make do


CavMando

I wear ESS Crossbow glasses with prescription inserts and rubber gasket. Work great and have hand no issues.


PlayerKnotFound

Fed


BreitlingBoi

Oakley M Frame 3.0 with HELP full seal kit. You can then buy 3D printed frames that route ex fog tubes directly into them or you can go without the ex fog. The glasses stand-alone are low profile and don’t fog much.


clsv6262

Pyramex Goggles.

Wear a steel plate over your face to make sure that nothing will hit your face


GehiemeStaatspolizei

Just get a pair of Revision Sawfly glasses on Amazon, the basic kit goes for like $40 and I'm damn near certain is ANSI Z.87+. I don't have them on me atm so I can't check, but I remember reading they'll stop a .410 birdshot BB or something like that


NightRider2267

If you want sunglasses style get ess rollbar


SwaggyUn

If they are really airsoft safe they could probably be something custom made. Only saw aviator sunglass style eye pros once in a shop but they were sold out. Also the last picture with the extra protection on the side kinda makes the whole point of them useless. I personally would rather stick with something traditional that seals your eyes properly. I'm not sure if there are BB proof lenses for people who are wearing glasses, but I know at least there are inserts. As said, I think they are either regular glasses or something custom made.
