Hunting glasses/goggles

[shnelson]

I could never get used to wearing glasses, albeit for sun protection or safety. It wasn't until I was forced to wear safety glasses that I realized paying a little bit more for vision and comfort made all the difference.

I ended up picking up a pair of wiley x saints in RX for competitive shooting. Since they came in north of $300 no matter what (for rx), I figured I'd splurge a little more for the auto-tinters. They work extremely well, my only complaint is going from bright sun to a shady area takes a bit of time for the tint come off.

Now I can't understand why I didn't do it sooner, and this was even for just minor correction (.75) so I could see the reticle better in the scope. After taking BBs to the back of the head on public land a few years ago, there's no way I'd hunt without them.


Hearing protection is another necessity that I wish didn't take so long to figure out. Howard leights are cheap enough, and you don't lose much of hearing your surroundings.

I've been looking at some walkers range muffs. I want normal hearing with no amplification so I can tell how loud I'm calling and hearing protection. The range ones seem simple with basically being on and off.

Team Power Dump[/quote]I haven't seen the walker muffs yet, but was pretty let down by the game ears - mostly just a pain in the ass to deal with. The Howard leight ($40, amazon) and 3m peltors ($80ish, home deppt) both let you change the level of amplification volume.

MSA sordin are even better, but at $300.

I keep coming back to the leights for their low profile and price, I can usually get 4 hours with them on before any discomfort.
