It’s not all about goggles and glasses
There are many options that are not as bulky as your typical tactical or ballistic goggles. Some of the ballistic eyewear product lines aren’t that different from each other, other than what part of the Country the person making the purchases gives his or her approval for. We have people walk in here all the time that are looking for cheap shooting glasses and we have some of those on the wall for $10. When it comes to serious shooting, though, you want to keep your glasses in a case so they don’t get messed up sooner than they are suppose to. All gear and accessories will wear out, but the Smith Optics Elite division has a warranty service that will repair your eyewear if you get it scratched or damaged except for the frame.
Right now the biggest rave amongst our eyewear are the boogie regulators. Everytime we bring up these Smith Optics Elite eyewear we hear a wise crack about the boogie, but these fast on and off goggles are getting out amongst our local bike patrols and motorcycle cops. I’ve tested them out myself and I’m still not sure if I like them more than my Aegis eye shields. I very much like the newer Aegis eyeshields because the fit is a little tighter even without the head strap.
