Started by gaseous_clay
I don't know how they stack up to others but I like the Nike Brazen that I have. I wear regular glasses and these don't feel that much worse.

Do any of these require the head strap in order to remain on your face? That part is a pain.
Do you all have a vendor recommendation for prescription lead glasses?
Is this a SNL “commercial”?
I have the Oakley 5 squared from Barrier Technologies, about to replace them with Oakley Turbines after 6 years of use.
The 5s are a light frame and fit my narrow face well. I wear them with a head strap to balance the forward weight of the glass in the light weight sunglasses frame. Not noticeably heavy on the nose.
I just tried the Turbine frames for fit, didn’t have the glass in them.

Lol the more PC term is “universal fit”

Thanks for the recommendations everyone! I am currently at approximately 1/2 day of fluoro per week. I now need prescription glasses and have honestly debated about getting them. I am not sure how much risk there really is with my current case load, but will probably bite the bullet and get them.

That’s impressive that your prescription hasn’t change in 18 years !!
I have prescription lead goggles from Wiley X. I've had them about 10 years I think; they are heavy but I just wear them around my neck until time to glove up
Looked these up. Vendors just sell the frames. Where can you get lead equiv lenses installed?
