You know I’ve always wondered if there’s any difference between safety glasses and sun glasses in terms of protection – just talking about garden variety and not the specialized shields. Are sunglasses any worse than safety glasses?
I buy the 3M OSHA approved impact resistant sunglasses at home depot for $5 and the yellow lens fastcaps for interior work
I also have the problem with glasses fogging up when working. Sometimes I use CSA approved glasses and other times I opt for the visor that attaches to my helmet and provides full protection of the face. I have even been known to wear the safety glasses under the visor if lots of material is flying about.

Those are pretty sweet @skillman . how much did they cost? I’m going through a pair of safety glasses every two weeks.
BTW Uvex must be good since they are using them for the Abola crisis.

Because they are getting scuffed up or you lose them or you drop them off the building or…? That is impressive!

I usually use a pair of RX wrap around sunglasses outdoors. I’ve got a pair of Dewalt goggles that use when it gets really messy.

Yeah John I drop them occasionally, they also get scratched by grinding and chipping, sealant gets on them also and various other stuff. I’m use to the company having a case of glasses not just a pair. :S

Nice safety glasses, do they work over your glasses?

I believe those Dewalt goggles are made by uvex – I grabbed a non-dewalt version of them as well:
