Good glasses for Field Use

[Lithium] · February 8th, 2006, 00:53

Dont know if it helps, but i saw some clips awhil ago on redwolf.. they go inside standard goggles, and they basically hold a pair of prescription lenses... so u dont need glasses with them. ill post the link if i find it.

ps: Sorry if this is dumb, but whats NSN?

Yeah except he's looking for glasses, for actual military work, and those perscription holders look retarded and create blindspots everywhere.

[Lithium] · February 8th, 2006, 02:54

oops.. nevermind then. and yes, they do make blind spots.. cant really remember why i suggested em lol

I dunno, I'm loving the Sawflys, and they look just about as normal as a pair of M-Frames...

If the Sawflys are the newly issued ballistic glasses, I've been hearing many complaints.

Sawflies are the civi version yes.

I have no complaints with them, they cover my eyes well don't fog, are highly rated comfortable, stylish there is only two real possible penetration points that would be hard as hell to get a shot on, or rico into. on top of that, there still is no direct line to my eye. Then again, everyones faces are different.

DuffMan · February 8th, 2006, 05:30

Yeah, apparently it doesn't fit most people faces well. Unlike the M-Frames, it doesn't really wrap around the face either, so those the M-Frames have much better coverage. Then again, what's the unit cost on the Sawfly, like $60?

They are a bit small for some people I've tried the CF ones they don't have as much coverage as a pair of ICE. I've seen them priced around $100 for the deluxe kit

gandar · February 8th, 2006, 14:29

The issue ones I've also heard give some people headaches because they distort their view at the edges where the lense bends, I don't have mine yet so I can't really comment but I know some people haven't noticed/minded, and some get headaches.

I would never buy any Rx holders or anything like that off a airsoft site.
NSN = Nato Stock Number

Yea, a lot of people with the Rx inserts in the new ballistic glasses, causes people to get motion sickness, headaches, etc

I'll probably just end up using my normal glasses(unless I find something better), since on course, the glasses would have to look like glasses, so the M Frames are out(atleast at this point).

DuffMan · February 8th, 2006, 16:15

There are also the half-jackets, though those have less coverage.

Yeoman · February 8th, 2006, 16:53

my old clerk actually vomited from how bad the issued perscription stuff is.
as soon as I saw that, vowed never to wear them till the issues get sorted out.

Oh baby, sign me up. God I'm glad I don't need glasses. Makes sunglasses a lot easier to pick.
