Cost of Safety Glasses

[Mrpalmere]

I recently read a thread where a team lost about $200.00 worth of safety glasses. How much are you guys paying for them?

[MisterX]

Most of our team provided safty glasses are about $8 or so but a small price for the protection of your sight and being allowed in the pits and on stage(plus when you wear safty glasses you are invincable). That is unless you are hardcore L33T and buy your own pair of S&Ws with the orange tints which cost more but are oh so styling.

I use yellow safety glasses that a guy from 3M game me. Well, not me specifically. He came to our school and gave a buchn of stuff out. They're sort of my trademark attire. My team makes fun of me for them. Point is, they were free. The rest of the team used saftey glasses borrowed from our partner-College. So, we dind't pay a single cent for saftey glasses this year.

We had some really um wierd looking safety glasses donated but some of us bought better ones on our own. Also this thread is in the wrong section.

I bought my own non-stupid looking ones from www.safetyglassesusa.com for like $7. We have a ton of those wonderful goggles known to science students everywhere, plus some random cheapo safety glasses (They work fine though )

I wear glasses, so I bought a cheap $3 pair that were big enough to fit over my glasses.

At Drexel though, I saw a mentor on 103 that had simply taken two pieces of lexan, drilled two holes in them, and slipped them over his glasses frame to make "side shields" and no one had bugged him. Pretty nifty idea.

Wasn't there a team update which said that people with polycarbonate material lenses (like most people have nowadays) could just use side shields at competition? I have a ton of 1/16" Hyzod lying around so I'll probably be drilling holes into that

Most of ours are seriously messed up from years of work and I wanted to go with a 'daisy' theme so i got some yellow shades from Lowe's for 10 bucks. I love the new perspective of seeing everything in yellow, its like summertime because everyone has a tan

We found some black and yellow ones that match the team for $4.00 per pair. And if someone didn't like them they can bring their own. And also the school supplies some as well. we bring those in case someone forgot or if a parent wants to come in the pits.

Is this thread in the wrong location?

Our teams main advisor is the wood shop teacher so we just use extras from the wood shop. I don't know how much they cost but we save them from each comp to use for the next.

I just use one of my dads extra pairs which look almost like oaklys

Usually Lowes or Home Depot have decent looking ones. Just be willing to pay about 10 bucks a pair for them.

I have regular glasses and does anyone know where I can get a stylish pair of safety glasses that can go over my glasses?
