Does anyone have any recommended glasses that they use for prescriptions in the field? Looking for clear and sunglasses (2 seperate frames) for use in the sandbox.

Thanks.

I like the suggestions above, but would also say take a look at what Revision has to offer.

The Revision Sawfly spectacle is the best there is in ballistic eye protection. It's support for Rx is second to none, interchangeable with their Desert Locust goggle. Check out the video of SMA (ret) Tilley demonstrating the Sawfly's ability to protect:

My husband has ESS Ice 2.Xs and he loves them (even if the goofy headstrap makes him look a little geeky).

They sell the Revision eye wear through clothing and sales if you have access to one, if not, contact the government sales rep mentioned above and they can hook you up with a good price, I've done so already.

Give me a holler at 802 999-4032 if you'd like to get fixed up with a set or two.

I was using the ESS ICE and didnt care too much for them. They just didn't sit comfortable on my face and with out the strap slid down my nose a bit as they are kinda heavy with the RX carrier. I ended up just wearing my contacts and a pair of good ole' M frames. The Accu view Oasys hold a lot of moisture and even in a sandstorm I had no more issuse then I did with out them.

That ain't no LA area code!

Go VT! (+1 on Revision, BTW. Even if I'm biased since the HQ is down the street from me.)
