Shooting glasses for slimmer face

[SSPKali]

After a pair of safety rated shooting glasses for airsoft use.

I tried a pair of Bloc Lynx and found that they sat very high on my nose but more worryingly there was a BIG gap at the side / side of the cheek.

Does anyone with a narrow face have any recommendations? Preferably available with interchangeable lenses.

I had a pair of bloc glasses, have you tried stretching the nose bridge so it sits lower on your nose?

Narrow face, you say....?

You made me hide behind the sofa, so many times!

And... You have no ears, glasses won't work, better get goggles

Not sure if I class as having a narrow head, but I have used these for a while and they are a snug fit with excellent antifog.

Lenses are not interchangeable, but they do different types.

They're only rated to 0.86 J. Not sure I'd be recommending them for airsoft.

Agreed. 0.86J is roughly 305fps with a .2g bb so definitely not safe for airsoft

Ooohhh.  They must be a different set to my last pair...  Thanks for the heads up.

I ended up trying some Bolle Cobra glasses - almost 2 hours grading in the heat and no fogging and close fit all round my face. Ended up with a great, yellow and HD clear pair along with storage bags and anti-fog cloth for less than the Blocs.

Rated to 0.86g at 120m/s = over 6J so should be fine for airsoft ?

Not as tacticool but I'll survive

Do you mean Bolle cobra glasses?

Hope I'm not being too forward but you say you had no fogging issues but how much do you sweat? ?

If you do start getting issues with fogging give this stuff a try.

Have you a linky?  I had a set of Bolle and the anti fog lasted less than a morning.

Dan, if we're both at spec ops next week I'll lend you my old pair of Ess goggles.  I didn't fog up at all yesterday in spite of getting hot and sweaty.  See how you get on with them 

I know someone else has said they wouldn't use them because of the gaps at the ventilation holes, but looking at people wearing glasses yesterday I was struck by how poorly many of them fit to the face, so it seems an odd thing to worry about on my goggles.  (The holes aren't big enough to let a BB through)

Yes the Cobra glasses, and I am not that sweaty so maybe I am lucky?

We'll be there. ?

Possibly with a new acquisition (fuck me she isn't even off the plane yet ?????).
