Looking to swap out my  eyewear from my cheap  nasty nurpol  to something bit more  comfortable and with interchangeable lenses  as  its just easier

Seen the revision  sawflys and ess  one is there any difference. Open suggestions  of any others   do much prefer  a shooting/warp around style. 

I already own mesh onea for cqb but i hate them cant a see my red properly  and   full seal isnt the most comfy thing but they don't fog. So win some  lose some 

 
I use the Sawfly glasses, and after using all sorts of different eyepro, they are easily best i've used by far. The lenses are a doddle to change too.

For CQB i wear a bump helmet with Balaclava, and i've never had them fog up on me

 
For outdoor games I use ESS ice. They're ace. Have taken hits without a scratch. Comfy, never fog up.

 
Bolle SIlium+ are £12.95 at Patrolbase, Own both clear and smoked. Love them, comfy, lightweight, strong as fuck and they don't fog up like goggles, you get a bit of condensation on the inside of the lense, well I do cos I sweat like a horse.

 
Based one what’s been said I’ve just ordered some ess ice. What wipes/ anti fog do you recommend?

 
I am yet to try NikWax but I have been told it’s bloody good.

I personally use Rainex Anti Fog wipes from Halfords, I have trade discount so I get them dirt cheap, they have yet to fail on me, and I’m a sweaty pig.

 
Nikwax is a waterproofing agent and it's shit, used it on my motorcycle jackets (both leather and textile) and it did fuck all.

I've got a pair and love em.

I've used toothpaste - a light smearing, then buffed off and they're perfect.

 
ESS glasses should come with an ESS branded anti-fog cloth. Don’t use any kind of detergent like toothpaste on them, it’ll break down the anti fog coating on the lenses very quickly

Ah. Oooooops.
Old habits die hard, I guess. Thanks for the heads up!

 
My  sawflys  arrived today Really happy will test the  lenses in friday before i play in them. 

 Gonna order  the revison  anti fog cleaning wipes as  the lenses are flithy  after changing  though   and  swapping them

 
As did mine! 39 seconds before I left for work.. ?

 
You don’t need to test the lenses.  They’ve already been tested and they’ll stop birdshot from a shotgun.

agree!...wish i had known as i used some abbey lens cleaner on my V12 clear lens and they started to 'flake' after

fogtech and Abbey anti fog works ok with them

 
Uded mine for tgd 1st time. Lenses are great so clear  

 Only issues i had was the fact hat they keepp sliding down my nose  as i think there bit large for me head. 

Mine sisnt come with the head strap  would getting  the head strap stop this happening or is it just a heqd strap to keep   the round your neck?
