Those OTW turbo-fan models look sweet!

 

[BostonBull]

Smith makes some sweet glasses!

 

[marlinspiker]

they are around 80 bucks a pop but well worth it.

 

[BostonBull]

cheap compared to other Smiths glasses, and right on point with Oakleys optical rated with Z.87

Sweet. I've been looking at replacing my current prescription safety glasses before I head off for MA with something I can also use as sun glasses. These look like they would be perfect.

What's the model you got Marlinspiker?

 

[chris_girard]

My only comment is how are they with fogging issues? I have to wear BUGZ most of the time because EVERY pair of safety glasses that I buy fog up.

 

[chris_girard]

Mike, I know that you wear BUGZ too, but if you say they are good, then I would like to try them too.

I just went to their site and saw some nice products.

What kind are you wearing?

im not going to say they dont fog up but as the weather has been in the 70s and low 80s they have been fine. i dont think that there is a pair of safety glasses alive that wont fog up in the humid east coast.

Have you tried spitting on the lenses and then wiping them dry? It helps a lot.

Ted, you name it and I've tried it.

Fog Tech is still the best stuff that I've found for fogging. Here's their link:

I think I came up with the best anti fog solution so far. Tomorrow I will take a photo (just keep a Tie-wrap at arms length).

Probably works with most glasses.

 

[Treespotter]

This is my way of keeping the waterfall from my head away from the inside of the glasses AND the fogging down to almost zero.
By wrapping a tie-wrap around the nose bridge in this way the 'buckle' of the tie-wrap acts as a spacer between the nose bridge and my forehead leaving extra ventilation space all around the glasses.

Okay Urkel

Just playin', great Idea!

 

[MattyD]

LOL, but that does look like a great idea and I will be trying it out for sure.

Now, this may be a dumb question, but what size zip tie are you using to create the spacer?

 

[Treespotter]

Just play around with different sizes. A big browed Neanderthaler would probably need a big one. On my glasses the buckle of the tie-wrap is about 5mm thick.

Thanks for the info Wolter.

I'll give it a try and see how it works.
