Hey,

I am planning to buy flying safety glasses but i have a problem. I can't find one where i can put over my glasses. My glasses has transitional lenses so it turns dark to protect my eyes from UV rays. can someone please send me a link to where i can buy a pair of flying safety glasses where i can use with my normal glasses? Or a link where i can order flying safety persrciption glasses so i don't have to wear my normal glasses.

Thanks Alot

you can get glasses with "safety" lenses

Why do you need saftey glasses? i swear i wont shoot you with my airsoft gun! LOL But Gary might just throw a fomey at you... LOL

There was a place at IRCHA selling "put over" sun glasses, but they are tinted and not "safety" lenses

BTW, if your looking for safety glasses that fit over glasses, try the local HomeDepo they keep it near the lockups in the power tool section.

If your glasses are auto tinting, you'd want a clear pair.

if you still cant find any, you can get the "moto" style, you can get them in clear lenses. SPY is the best brand for em.

Home Depot has safety glasses that are big enough to wear over your prescription glasses - Paint supplies area.

Can't you wear contact lenses, and wear a pair of sun glasses which is ballistic proof sun glasses, or cheapo tinted shooting glasses?

Evo 50, Rappy 90, T-Rex on the bench, need rebuilding

But if your really afride of the little rex, then you better get a chemical suit when you handle your fuel and use a blast chamber to charge up em lipos! lol... just kidding.

Accident is mostly caused by unforeseen circumtances. Regardless of the precaution, it can still happen.

Puffs...goes the Lipo.
