cskip Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Does anyone have some recommendations for eye protection (Sunglasses not Goggles!) for both Day and Night driving? Afraid my budget is somewhat limited! Clive. X-flow - Not So Loud, But Still Proud! (Tech-Craft fitted!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dino ferrana Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Oakley I know not budget! They are fecking strong and they have light transmission charts in their dealerships. I have owned several pairs over the years and they are fantastic. If you break them in warranty time doing extreme sports they will replace them! I think sevening will count! With the light transmission charts you can work out a good compromise between day time brightness protection and night time visibility! Hope that helps Dino Ferrana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Brother Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 For eye protection on a budget I can recommend the following: For evening and night driving try Fectoggles . They are a one piece clear poly-carbonate safety goggle that has a foam cusion to "seal" the glasses to your face. They have been tested with no screen at over 110mph. No blinking or tears at all. (on a cold night too!) For day use I can recommend Bolle safety glasses . Available with a range of lenses and have a side shield to stop you crying at speed. I have sat on mine, dropped them and fallen of my (mountain) bike wearing them and they are still in one peice. They also look pretty cool too! Both are available from RS Components and cost around £10.00 a pair! Website: http://rswww.com or click here Search for the following numbers for pics, prices and more info.

luddites7 Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 I've got the Oakleys, haven't tried them with aeroscreen (must get round to putting it on), I bought them as they are impact rated, also wrap around effect helps to stop turbulence behind the lense. It is a pity you are not going tonight as you could have tried them out. If you get lost follow the EXIT signs !! Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cskip Posted July 19, 2002 Author Share Posted July 19, 2002 I think at the moment Oakley's are beyond my budget. The Bolle galsses look like an option for Day driving. But I will be looking for a pair of proper night driving glasess (the special yellow/orange lense - what is this called?) as well. Any other suggestions? Clive. (I can't read signs!)

Jimbo Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 The Fectoggles (what a great name) claim to control sweat build-up and increase wearer comfort Isn't that fantasic. Somuch cheaper than replacing my vinyl bench seats. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonpa Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 Try: http://www.safetysupplies.co.uk/trolleyed/3/index.htm Safety specs that don't look like they should be in a laboratory. From £3.36 (+VAT) They sell cheap earplugs too! Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
