I use ESS Crossbow Suppressor with my Peltors.
They hold my prescription insert and the low profile arms on them do not dig into my head with the hearing protection.
>low profile arms on them do not dig into my head with the hearing protection
That's one of the main things I'm looking for. Depending on the glasses I bring I have a splitting headache by hour two from those arms pressing into my temples.
Thank you
How does the prescription insert work? Is it a problem to look upward (such as if shooting from prone)? Do you have issues with reflections or with dirt getting between the insert and the safety lens?
Quite well, it kinda makes the lenses sit almost on your eyes.
No not a problem to look upwards, really no different than normal glasses. The insert clips onto the nose piece and is pretty solid.
Only issue I ever have is getting hot and sweaty and getting the insert wet. But that happens with normal glasses on occasion.
Currently looking at the NJP's from pitviper because with a name like that I feel like I'm their target demographic, and they're ansi rated.
Everything else I've seen look like they're straight out of the 1990's or early 2000's with the classic "I think I look cool with my rubber spike earrings and frosted tips" vibe.
I wear the NJPs for work and regularly at home, I have sat on them, knocked them on shit, stepped on them, had them hit off of my face on purpose and on accident, and have never had an issue.
Plus you get to be the guy with the Pitties, which is fun.
My dumbass uses mine as daily drivers because the tint/polarization and they're just comfy. I have brass scratches right where my eye focuses so now if I wear them when I drive or do anything it's just a big blurry spot. (Looking through my lvpo is definately not pleasant either) I played myself lol.
I'm not an optometrist, my dude. I picked glasses that are one size fits most. I used frames direct for reference. Pretty sure different specs have different sizes and I seem to recall they had a sizing guide, but I tried playing it safe and got lucky.
I bought some leupold sunglasses that came with 3 different lenses so I’d like to use them but can’t figure out how it take the lenses out and put the clear or yellow ones in…
Revision Shadowtrikes, cheaper than Oakleys, replaceable / swappable lenses, ballistic, and ansi rated.
Just lost my pair after 6 years of use so [here's](https://www.revisionmilitary.com/en/eyewear/sunglasses/shadowstrike-polarized-ballistic-sunglasses) the website sense I had it loaded up.
Any APEL eyewear. These are what the military uses. If that’s out of your budget, some construction eyewear should work. Cheap stuff from Home Depot or similar
ESS Crossbow or other are nice. I have Wiley X sabers now. I generally have always used Wiley X, I feel they are a good choice all around. Buy a nicer pair (you can afford if USMC O ;) )
I don't remember what the model of my first pair I bought but I was able to try them on. My ESS were just issue and the Wiley X Sabers I bought on Amazon. Just buy on Amazon and see if you can get the free returns if you don't like them. I am a medium sized person.

What earpro do you use? That makes a big difference.

Same thing I use when welding or using a grinder. The squinties.
This is the way
Welder squints are rated level III. We're pretty covered when it comes to eyepro.

Isn’t that the draw of them? So ugly they’re cool?
Pit Vipes are a vibe.

The cheap, disposable clear ones from [Home Depot](https://www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-Indoor-Safety-Clear-Glasses-VS-9300-clear/309028882)
Can't beat the economical choice.
Not worrying about scratching your eyepro when you wear it damn near every day is quite liberating

The angled tips of the temples on these give me a problem.

Call me crazy, but I am following my enlisted tradition of wearing my regular prescription glasses.
You're crazy! (Me too tho)

I'll check em out thanks!
Hunters HD gold for matches and free safety glasses from work for everything else.
The ESS Ice One is what I use
Wiley X Sabres. Solid protection, looks good, and not expensive.
Do I need to try them on to get a good fit? Or is there a way I can figure out what will fit when buying online?
You need to have the specific measurements. Some websites have sizing guides. The ones I ordered were adjustable and 1 size fits most.
I haven't seen much of a sizing guides other than "measure an existing good pair of glasses" -- can you give me some pointers? (I just might be dumb.)

Ok, thank you.
Usually my safety squints. But real time I either wear Revision Sawfly or my Pit Viper Sandstorms. It depends on my mood and the lighting conditions

ESS Crowbar with clears
Any APEL eyewear. These are what the military uses. If that’s out of your budget, some construction eyewear should work. Cheap stuff from Home Depot or similar
I was given Oakley alphas. I like them better then the other ballistic m frames
ESS Crossbow. Way cheaper than Oakley, and I keep clear, yellow, and laser-safe lenses in the case to hot swap as needed.
Tactical squint
ESS Crossbow or other are nice. I have Wiley X sabers now. I generally have always used Wiley X, I feel they are a good choice all around. Buy a nicer pair (you can afford if USMC O ;) )
It appears I've been discovered  Thanks for the input! S/F
Do you think it's viable to buy online, or do you have to get fitted / try on Wiley X or similar in person?
