    Best Shooting Glasses?

    Who makes the most impact-resistant shooting glasses?

    I have always used the same safety glasses that I get free at work, but there must be something better. I would like something with a little extra coverage and the strongest possible lenses.

    The Wiley-X series is as good as anything you will find for practical purposes.

    The old yellow Bausch & Lomb were the best ever made in my opinion.

    If you don't believe me, find a pair and just leave them on your dash for 5 minutes unattended.

    I had some glasses from Alpina . They alos make sportglasses for skiing and so on. They tested this glasses by shooting with .22 LR on it and it stopped the bullet. Good but not the cheapest.
