Matching Drive Team Glasses

Okay well thanks for letting know.

We agreed that this was the style we would wear and not get these particular glasses, i was just using the style as a reference to see if it was safe or not.

But yes, i do recall there being an issue with side protection so we'll look into that.

Thanks for the prompt reply guys!

Anything you find that is ANSI Z87.1 rated is going to cover all the pertinent details like impact resistance and side shields.

Also, please note that just side shields are enough. As the video I linked to demonstrates, side shields on non-safety rated lenses are about as useful as knee and elbow pads on a biker with a papier-mache helmet.

Just to clarify, pretty sure this is what you meant...

Fixed. Bolded and enlarged for truth.

Side shields are okay ONLY if your glasses are ANSI Z87.1 rated. Shields need to be rated appropriately too. The flimsy transparency looking shields are not safe either.
