Re: Cost of Safety Glasses

Check out SamsClub.com

I bought a package of THESE for our team last year. They are nice wrap-around style and they are about $25 for 12 pair (got them at my local store). Search for Safety glasses at the Sam's Club site and you can find others for similar pricing, and even less (as low as $1.63 a piece, or even a 10-pack for $12.58).

Re: Cost of Safety Glasses

As long as our team members are wearing safety glasses or side-shields during the competition, they can choose any brand they want. Our favorite series of safety glasses is the Aurora series by MSA, picked up at our local Home Depot. They were $9 for a pair.

These so comfortable to wear that you can sleep in them! (Literally.) A plus for us teenagers, they also look very cool!

Re: Cost of Safety Glasses

I have had probably at least 20 pairs of safety glasses just though my time in FIRST. I always seem to loose them or lend them to people either way I have tried many pairs. The point of all of this is that bang for the buck the best glasses I have ever had (and still have) are a pair of uvex Genesis. They are very comfortable, have replaceable lenses with many different tint/color options. They run about $8.00 but that is well worth it to have a pair of glasses that are so comfortable that you forget you are wearing them.

Re: Cost of Safety Glasses

We give a pair to every student as part of their dues for the team. We buy them from www.tasco-safety.com
The ones that we buy are the wrap around lenses and we have them customized with our team logo on the edge of the lens. They cost about $4.50 a pair with shipping.

Re: Cost of Safety Glasses

Wiley X SG-1 If you really want style, this is what the troops wear in the armed forces

ballastics quality protection

Ive seen them on ebay for as little as $40 (new)

I'm using mine in my chem lab this semester. Thanks TechnoKats!
Like Greg, I've been through at least a dozen. I usually just goto Home Depot or Lowes and spend $6-10.
