Default eye protection

Anybody here used bugs-eyes? They are wire mesh goggles. I always wear my face screen down, but I'm looking for something to keep the finer stuff out of my eyes, and to keep chips from dropping in from where they lurk in my face screen. Even the wire frame glasses break the seal on my earmuffs and let in noise. Don't like that. What can you tell me?

I use a pair of Bolle or ESS safety glasses, they come in different colours and the only problem is they mist up when I am working hard! Never seen Bug eyes, I am off to google them.

You can find them at Baileysonline.com. , under safety and first aid at the top, then eye protection. Google not much help.

yeah ive got a pair. my old employer bought them for me. there great other than the fact that the strap isnt big enough for my head. was going to modify it to include a strap from a pair of my snowboard goggles. i figured the thicker strap would spread the load and stop headaches. as it is, never got round to it cos i got two pairs of safety specs. one tinted one clear. another guy at work wears yellow polarised ones. hurt my eyes but he reckons they're the go.

Yeah, Bugz goggles are great! I haven't used anything else ever since I bought my first pair years ago. If you sweat like I do when I'm climbing, I don't know how you see with safety glasses on....
