Favorite Safety Glasses

Tools of the Trade: Our crew wears safety glasses every day so we want those glasses to be comfortable, tough, and not look too weird. With so many styles to choose from it can be difficult to figure out which work the best. After years of wearing safety glasses I can recommend a couple of reliable standbys and a more expensive pair I recently bought and am really happy with.

I've always found the shop safety glasses to be extremely uncomfortable, bulky, and blurry. I like a pair of glasses that provides comfort, clarity, and style. The glasses that are recommended on the site are not my taste at all and I thought it was funny how they had only four recommendations including two pairs of sunglasses. This article was very poorly done in my opinion, the green font overlaying the pictures is not appealing and the reviews of the glasses are lacking content. Their recommendations where not persuasive enough to get me to buy a new pair of eyewear.

I’ve always had issues with trying to find a pair of safety glasses that fit. Of course it’s not just safety glasses, its sunglasses, the right hat, clothes, etc. The list goes on. We all have that one pair that just fits and we don’t like it when someone else takes that one pair that fits you, when every other pair in the cabinet is either too big, or does not fit comfortably. So far I have managed to find a pair that fits, but as usual I generally leave that pair at home, which is slightly inconvenient for when I would find it necessary to use them. Safety glasses are a cheap investment to protecting your eyes, and with the various types of glasses you can get, I enjoy the fact that they have a come a long way from the way they used to be designed, and have a little bit of style to them.

I didn’t find this article to be very helpful. As Keith pointed out there wasn’t much variety in the fit of the glasses they chose, and as someone with a smaller face I would want something less bulky. I also was disappointed in the lack of choices for inside safety glasses. I understand that these guys work on a construction site, but as most theater is done inside three quarters of their picks are useless to me.
