Reviews & Ratings for ESS Land Ops Striker Goggles — 10 reviews — Page 1

Quite a few years ago a Japanese optics maker was closing its Custom Shop in Miami. I was able to buy one of their rifle scopes at a greatly discounted price. I didn't have any use for it until recently when I became interested in NRA Class F, Long Range Target Shooting. I mounted the unused, Custom scope on my 6.5 mm center fire rifle and everything looked good, ...until I pulled the trigger. The recoil pushed the scope's eyepiece and my shooting glasses into the bridge of my nose and drew blood. Backing my head away from the eyepiece to increase eye relief narrowed my field of view and blurred the image, ...and I was now flinching. Our Range Officer suggested I try googles. I shopped and bought, "ESS Land Ops Striker Goggles". The goggles fit great and are very comfortable. But the padding that I need prevents the close approach required for a full field of view to an eyepiece that has offers only minimal eye relief. I had to return the very nice, "ESS Land Ops Striker Goggles" as incompatible with my application.

These goggles are large enough to wear glasses as well. This is helpful to me. Its still a little tight, but I can handle it for the amount of time I spend at the range. I like the extra lens that comes with these goggles, it is tinted for outside use. That makes these goggles versatile, thus saving money. No need for two different pairs of eye protectioon. They are comfortable, and I recommend picking them up.

These goggles seem great. Not ideal for my purposes, but there are two important things I learned:

These goggles do NOT work over my eyeglasses. The description says they're for use over "prescription eyewear." This must mean contact, or glasses with very small profiles. These goggles did NOT fit over my glasses.

Also, at the tightest setting, the strap barely fit my head. That might not seem problematic except that I wear an XL hat. My head is enormous and these goggles barely stayed on my bare head. It seems they're designed to work in combo with a helmet.

If you wear a helmet, and don't wear glasses, this could be great for you.

Google fit and field of view are great. Comfortable if worn for extended time. Anti fog works well with physical exertion. Dual lenses are a bonus. Planned use is for work but will serve as a nice backup if you wind up turning the corner into a cloud of tear gas or murder hornets - 2020 makes us all redefine our tactical kit contents.

Does not fit that good over your prescription glasses. Thought it would fit right over your glasses, but a little work needs done. Bought these actually for dust particles getting in my eyes and they do do that. Also for handgun shooting works well.

These are exactly the same as used in the AF & Navy, and one of the few that are also ballistic rated. Glasses are a tight fit,, but haven't had a problem so far. Great for range, field, or even a jobsite where OSHA requirements are an issue.

Good fit. Suitable to wear over glasses. Well made. I wear glasses and these fit really well. Good quality lenses and vents. The pouch is functional. That's about all I can say about this one. You won't be disappointed with this purchase.

Getting Goggles to work with glasses and stop fogging has been difficult these tick all the boxes, I use them for Urban Search and rescue work where it can be very hot and sweaty and these google work perfectly. they also fit around my half mask respirtor with no difficulties
Pros: Perfect for rescue work
Cons: Not all glass frams fit in but I have found no issues

These goggles are supposed to fit over normal eyeglasses. I could get them over my average size glasses, but it was difficult. They pressed the glasses into the bridge of my nose. Not very comfortable. If you are going to wear them over eyeglasses, I would recommend a very small lens type. I marked yes on whether to recommend them, but I was really on the fence about them.
