Ballistic / Driving Goggles

"Summer" pt 2 is here and the aeroscreen is on. The idea of a beesting or a stonechip to the eyeball is not appealing.
Talk to me about ballistic / driving goggles? Google reveals prices vary wildly!


Cheers,

I used to use ESS v12 goggles, army issue goggles. I may sell them if they are any good to you.

This place has a wide range of good glasses & goggles. They also have some that have an insert that takes prescription lenses. There can't be many people who have bifocal goggles like mine!

Gravel and bees are bad, but following a builder's wagon with sand and cement dust blowing off is my pet hate...

Beanie type hat is fav.. Can use a crash helmet for mile munching, motorways etc. V2 range, good value and popular.

I got a couple pairs of these safety glasses from screwfix and they work great. Foam lined so the wind stays out your eyes. Cheap too at £12. The strap is optional.
