When choosing shooting eyewear, the lens is the first and foremost important element.
- Material - Shooting eyewear lenses are most commonly made of polycarbonate which is not particularly expensive, strong and light. Along with the shatter resistant qualities of Polycarbonate, it also comes with Anti-Scratch and UV Block Protection to offer the most protection in all areas. This is very important for shooting glasses. There are three different ratings you might see regarding safety glasses and goggles: ANSI, OSHA and Military.
- Lens Quality - Just like your sports optics, the quality of the lenses in your eyewear will greatly affect their performance. Purchasing a high quality set of Shooting Glasses/Goggles will not only provide optical advantages but you will also notice a longer life span when your eyewear is enduring rough activities. You get what you pay for.
- Thermal Lenses - These are a great feature on many shooting goggles today. A thermal lens has two lenses, one next to the other which adds a layer of insulation between the lens next to your warm face and the lens to the cold outside air. This will help minimize fog appearing in your goggles. You can use an anti-fog system as an alternative method to help reduce fogging on any goggles.
