I need to protect my eyes, but like most people, safety glasses only serve to direct the dirt into my eyes. Many times while working on a rig I seem to be better off without them. I have tried wearing a full face shield, but it's only a matter of time before I am working with it flipped up, or completely off. I am looking for a set of safety glasses, that fit like goggles. I started looking at Uvex, but they appeared to be more of a single use item, something not intended to last years. While looking I found the Wiley-X Blink. They are glasses, but have a removable and replaceable "facial cavity seal".

Anyone wear these? Yes....no....Other? Does anyone have anyother suggestions?

I saw another member had bought some of these so I decided to give them a try. I really like them, they're comfortable around the eyes, have a seal, and I haven't had them fog up on me. The headband could be a little thinner to be more comfortable around the ears, but it's not like they give me a headache while wearing them. And for $6/ea....

I got a pair of Revision Bullet Ant goggle to wear for full eye protection. I was going with the Wiley X but was dissapointed when I looked at them in the store as the seal around the eye was ok but not all that great. The Bullet Ant seal is much better, plus I could get a bifocal insert through the Air Base for these. Wear them a ton in the shop and doing fab work and they rock. No worries about getting anything in the eyes.
