Ballistic Glasses With Good Side Coverage

Zack The Ripper · June 17th, 2015, 17:58

So I have tried a number of different eye pro over the years and most of them seem to have the same common issues; sets with gaskets for too much, and ones without gaskets have less side coverage than I'd like or have side coverage with a large gap (I have a skinny French/Irish face).

I already have a great full seal set, but would like a set of glasses I can optionally wear that I feel safe playing in. I own ESS Crossbows and still I find I have a bit too much of a gap/lack of side coverage. Revision Sawflies also lack in the side coverage. My Elvex GoSpecs and Valken Zulus are good for wearing at CP or for doing basic things, but they both for up immediately when I am playing as I'm a sweaty pig.

Gear whores and optometrists, what are some better options for me and other skinny faced fraggers like me?

Have a look at Edge Eyewear. Specifically the Vapour Shield and gasket models like the Falcon. Im seriously considering them for my one up on my Crossbows. Ansi and Mil rated.

I have. They are like, borderline "feel safe" for me. I have a team mate who has them. I'll try to fondle more to see if I think they'd make the cut.

What happened to the Oakley Military with a helo gasket? Did it ever materialize?

ThunderCactus · June 17th, 2015, 20:46

Yeah, a few people have them. You can get them from tacticaltailor.com

Danke · June 18th, 2015, 00:56

Yeah but big Z here was bugging on DS Tactical about them for himself.

SawBone · June 18th, 2015, 08:44

I'm using Wiley X Talon and I feel pretty safe with them. I can't really compare them to any others though.

Indeed I was. No dice unfortunately.
They are having problems getting importation paperwork in order for them. Gotta love ITAR.

Did you get yours from TT? Helo kit as well? No issues importing?

ThunderCactus · June 18th, 2015, 13:01

Itar isnt usually an issue on individual orders

Zack The Ripper · June 18th, 2015, 14:57

How did you get them from Tacticaltailor.com? I don't see Oakley stuff on their website. Was it a single order email request or something of the sort?

ThunderCactus · June 18th, 2015, 15:06

Hm. I guess they took them off some time in the last 3 months.

TC just wanted it more.
