LEO's - What eyewear do you use?

[cmoore]

Cop, 22 years in, have run numerous Oakley's, ESS's and now have two sets of Bobsters (glasses and goggles) and they're great.

On patrol (I work nights 6p-6a), I use a pair of Spy's for while the suns up. They used to be my primary pair, but are now relegated to work use. Once the sun goes down, I usually go with out lens, but I have a set of clear WileyX if need be. For off duty jobs, or stuff where I won't be fighting people, I'll pull out the polarized Ray Bans, but those don't go on the streets for fear of getting smashed up by some hood rat.

Clear Oakley M frames at night. Nike sun glasses during the time normal people are awake.

Not a Leo, but I have the Oakley half jackets with the polarized prescription lenses.. they have been great, but my prescription changed and it is hard to pay $400 for lenses every time. I am looking at my next pair being Rudy Project Rydons Tactical with the prescription insert. That way I can change lens color without buying a prescription pair for everything.

Oakley M frames, clear lenses at night, dark during the daytime hours. For our uniform allowance, the brand we can order is ESS Crossbows. They give you two frames, with the dark and the clear lenses already installed. Personally, as long as they have ballistic protection, don't restrict your field of view and are reasonably comfortable, then you should be good to go.

ESS Crossbow with clear lenses for night and inside use.
ESS Rollbar with tinted lense for day use.
Great glasses that are very comfortable.

I haven't worn anything other then Oakley's since around 1988.

I wear prescription Oakley Flack jackets when its sunny. Usually Oakley Rhinochasers at night.

If I need eye protection for an OP I have a set of Revision SAWFLYs that I keep with the rest of my gear. They work really well with helmets and ear pro/comms.
