I esp like his point about eyepro driving. A relative suffered pretty serioius damage to both eyes from an airbag deploying not long ago.

I read you on your conclusion. It's a logicalone for sure. But, for me at least, I feel like if I can have the highest rated eye pro for a reasonable expenditure, and given the optical clarity and other protective features (i.e. UV protection etc) are up to snuff for me, then I'll go that way.
It's the same reason I always purchased, and wore racing helmets when riding my motorcycles... My head was worth that expense. As one who has vision issues, and may one day lose his vision altogether, I would like to protect whatever I can the best way I can. Just my .02 :)
I definitely agree they're better, and I should probably pick up a pair. But looking at that test, I have no problem with, for example, ranges that hand out basic impact resistant glasses for rentals.
I'd especially consider the mil ones a better investment for anyone doing 3-gun, trap, or hunting with Dick Cheney, where there's a higher chance of something more than brass or powder getting in your eyes.
Interesting test - thanks for posting. Disappointing results from the Oakleys. I'd be curious to see how Rudy Project measured up. I thought I had read they were seeking APEL approval.
I'm very happy with the ESS Crossbows I shot with today. Clear and comfortable. The survey is running 70/30 that they don't look like geezer sunglasses. :cool:
I hit the link again and it showed the price up to $90 for the double set however.
