Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted February 23, 2018 Supporters Share Posted February 23, 2018 well, i think my phantoms are getting a bit worse for wear, is there anything out there reccommended for a replacement? i'm not against spending a decent wedge on eyepro, so if there's anything out there that's a single lens prescription (rather than inserts) i'm up for putting some coin towards it. sadly contacts aren't an option for me.

Just bear in mind that if you buy prescription eye protection that is single lens and not insert then any damages or scratches will require an expensive replacement of a prescription lens. whereas on a pair that utilise inserts (such as Bolle’s) they would only require a cheap new no prescription lens replacement.

The Bolle Raider with prescription inserts are no bulkier than most other full seal safety glasses/goggles. They also come with three lenses which can be changed out as required (smoke, clear and amber). as they are essentially designed for military use it’s safe to assume they have been designed with both safety and ergonomics considered.

SCAR_Jester Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I little late to the party and perhaps not wanted but if it hasn't been mentioned yet: The Revision Desert Locusts are an exceptional frame, full seal goggles with the ability to hold glasses lens insert. The lenses are ballistic proof and have a good coating of anti fog (providing you wipe with a micro fibre cloth and not wash, this lasts a while) However 1 thing to note is that eventually or initially they may begin to fog if the user gets hot on a cold day or vice versa, I use the Thermal Lens form Revision, and have never fogged for roughly a year now, no fancy fans or sprays.

Ive gone past wiping with cloth and wipe now with fogtech wipes and they seem to be the best solution for me at the moment ....but still using up the abbey stuff which is ok....

Thats fair, in summer I get a bit of sweat drips or moisture build up which only a fan or wipe can stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really rate the McNett Op Drops for anti fogging, at under a tenner it’s worth a punt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played the mall all day with no fogging issues. Definitely worth a try, I’ve been really impressed with them and they only cost £10. be worth noting I did coat lenses of both glasses and googles with nuprol clear before hand Holy CR@P they are BIG goggles lol but for the price you can't go wrong.
