shooting glasses..which ones do you folks like?

[ordy]

I need a pair of safety glasses for shooting trap. The pair I have now work well enough but the joint at the bridge of the nose interferes with keeping my eyes on the clay and sometimes cause me to disconnect. I've seen glasses that span that area and would like to try a pair. I looked at a pair of wiley x-saber glasses on the cabella's site and they might be what I want. What do you folks like?

Wiley X is a good brand and you can't go wrong with them. I have a pair of 3M safety glasses with clear lenses and a pair of Under Armour Velocity sunglasses. I like 'em both.

My shooting glasses of choice are the Randolph Engineering XLW's. They're a semi wrap-around (octel?) that come with interchangeable lenses, and a host of replacements to work with almost any shooting condition. They also can be had with a prescription insert which will negate the need for prescription lenses. They're not cheap, and they're extremely well-made.

I also wear a pair of Zeiss Competition glasses with vermilion lenses. They're over 30 years old, but have held up extremely well.

I don't know if they still make them, but I use Gargoyles, like Arnold wore in The Terminator. Supposed to stop a pellet rifle. I have clear and amber. Worn them for the past 15 years at least.

My test is to put them on and look straight up. If I can see over the top edge of the frame, they would have to have adjustable nose piece to raise it up.

I have worn some Tiffosi Tortise shell cycling glasses for many years. They come with 3 sets of lenses smoke, clear, and rose and you can buy extra lenses on the web for about 12 bucks but the polarized lenses are about $30. I wear sunglasses 365 days a year and I can't stand scratches on the lenses so the interchangeable lenses are great and the Sunglasses are under $60 which is the max I would ever pay for sunglasses.

I use Radians, clear wraparound safety glasses with bifocal lenses. The bifocals don't help with shooting, but they let me read a GPS on my bike.
