eyewear question

[jbell]

I am in need of a new pair of shades. They will be multi use glasses for me. I will wear them shooting (scoped rifle, iron rifle, handgun, and shotgun), mountain biking, and casual. So I need something in the safety line. But also I am thinking about photochromic lens. I don't need a RX. I have narrowed down my list and am leaning hard on: Rudy Project Rydon Ii Carbon With Impactx Photochromic Red Lenses. From what they say the lenses have no distortion through out the field of view and to me that will be the most important thing. The glasses I have now are bad about that and it drives me nuts.

I would like to hear from anyone who has used these lenses from RP maybe not in this color or even frame but the lenses. How do they work? Do you have any distortion in the FOV? How durable are they? Any other thoughts or comments are also welcome. Or any suggestions on other brands that would work well, they don't have to be photochromic but that is nice for long mountain bike rides into the night or low light shooting.

Thanks for any help...

all I've ever owned were Oakley's and never had a problem with them

I would recommend Liquid Eyewear. I use them for shooting, skydiving, daily use Conus and Oconus. They offer photochromatic, polarized, non polarized and best of all they have an ANSI rating so they are safety glasses. They are also 100% made in the USA and offer Mil and LEO discounts.

ESS eyewear also makes some good stuff and there are some hide members who represent them officially.

And the ESS rep can give you a discount code that makes them a real bargain considering they are really "oakleys". Just ordered mine a few minutes ago.

I love Oakley Radars. I lost my last pair at a match or something... They were in G30, and now I have the G26. I think I might like the G30 lens better, but the G26 was so hard to find, I snatched them up right when I found them.

Tagging for some options. Never liked any of the cheap eye pro I've had. Need something decent. Got to wear it all the time too, keep slippin and something bad will happen. Had a close call while demo'ing a big tile job. Never cool to pull a toothpick sized anything out of your eyeball. I can only imagine what bullet fragments would be like, if you didn't lose an eye and worse yet if you didn't live to experience it...

NOMAD is your guy to talk to about ESS promos.
