I'm a recreational pistol shooter who needed eye protection. As I've yet to experience the glasses protecting me from a projectile of any kind, I can't really comment on that. But they are very comfortable once you take the time to adjust the frames to fit you. The changing of lenses is much more of a challenge than indicated, however. Perhaps I didn't have the right technique but was unable to remove the dark gray lenses that came with the kit. That's when I decided to just spend a few more dollars and buy frames for the other two sets of lenses and forget the exchanging. That works because I wear the dark gray lens for regular shades and save the others for shooting. Still think it is a product worth the money.

Fit and style are good and lens quality is excelent. With persciption insert installed its a bit heavy but OK. If your persciption lenses have curve limets you may have a problums. check with eye doc. otherweise a very trick setup.

I definitely need the NARO, the regular would have been way too big. I wear these on my timetrial bike where the lack of frame at the top gives me extra view up the road. the hi-def yellow is excellent for mountain biking in the woods too.

30December2010 Paula here in Phoenix. I saw Sarah Palin wearing these sunglasses on her TV Series and I said WOW!!! Those sunglasses look great!!! Got to get some!!! I found out who makes them and I ordered online at Optics Planet. They ARE great! Good design and well made. I like the serious looking precision mil spec shield lens and the modular snap-together flexability. The military uses these so that means they are TOPS!!! One draw back is that it takes Gorilla Grip hands to snap the temples on to the lens properly, but after some struggling I managed it. I wasn't sure they would fit my very large head and was hoping I wouldn't have to send them back, but after some careful bending of the temples, I got them to fit just right. And they really hang on to your head. Sarah Palin for President in 2012!!! Hoo Rah!!! Paula

Eye protection is important while hunting. I have been hunting for over 50 years. My existing glasses are heavier and do not have as good a side protection as the eyeshield system. I am glad to have lighter and better protection. I like the ability to change lens depending upon the light conditions which I do not have the ability to do at present.

I use these for time-trialing (smoke lens), road (smoke or yellow), and mountain (clear lens). the frameless design is perfect for the time-trialing position since there is no obstruction to your view up the road. the wafer-thin stems fit perfectly under the straps and pads of a cycling helmet. if i still was on a shooting team they would be perfect for under ear protection muffs. very good value too.

I really like ESS ICE! They give me protected feel and do not obstruct my vision. This is the second set I've bought - for my wife and kids :) The only suggestion to manufacturer is to add XL size to the lineup - my head is pretty big and prolonged wear gives me rubs on my temples :)
