Radians Clay Pro Shooting Glasses

I've tried several shooting glasses over the years and I've found it difficult to find great fitting glasses. My issue is that the bridge of my nose is thin\shallow. This makes it such that with most shooting glasses, they would push in too close to my eyes or were constantly sliding down. This one has a great nose support, if you will, that eliminates this issue. Also with the thinner frame it makes it much more comfortable to wear with ear muffs. I wear my glasses with the  Howard Leight R-01523 Leightning L0F Ultra Lightweight NRR 23 Compact Folding Earmuff  which are known to be fairly tight. These glasses are also very light so I find myself sometimes forgetting that I am wearing these. I also didn't have any issues with the lenses constantly fogging up like on other brands. These glasses are a good, affordable choice for shooters or those with a thin nose.

These are excellent shooting glasses with clear, undistorted optics and are ANSI Z87.1+ certified. The thin wire sides are perfect, if not essential, if you use muff type hearing protection. I have used them with passive as well as active muffs with equal success. You should be aware that they do not fold anywhere near flat and they don't come with a case so if you are partial to hard case protection, as I am, you will need to purchase a very deep (at least two inch)case. I found that this one (AS179 It Smooth Extra Large Sunglass Case) provides a snug fit. For less than twenty-five dollars for the pair you can't beat the value.

Lightweight but a very good fit. Very important!!: the small, thin earpieces still allow my NC over-ear protection seal out (most) of the burst when firing my S&W .357 in my nearby indoor range and, since they're spring-loaded fit snugly. Thicker earpieces can leave a gap between your temples and over-ear cups and allow harmful gunfire shock onto your eardrums. Ouch!The nose piece is very comfortable and generates no sweat or condensation, but seemed a bit too thick at first: I could 'just' see it out of inside corners of your eyes but don't even notice it now. Very solid, clear, and unrefractive optics. My only nick-pick: they should have included at least a microfiber storage pouch so they don't scratch when stored in my range bag.

I've been looking for a pair of shooting glasses that don't fog up easily. Anti fog coatings don't work for me. I figured having some airflow at the bottom and top would be the best way to keep fog from forming, and I was right. The gap is not very wide at all, but enough to allow more air than other wrap around designs that sit right up against my eyebrows. Protection is still excellent. If you have a flatter nose bridge it may sit closer to your face, so it may not work this well for everyone. It has fogged a little off to the side when I was particularly heated up, but so far it outperforms other glasses due to the design. I have the yellow-tinted ones, and the nosepiece is clear, not black as in the photo. The lens is continuous above the nose, and that helps a lot with rifle shooting, when I am looking more toward that part of the lens- no frame to get in the way. These are my go-to glasses now. I also picked up a pair of Radians Buckshot II at the same time, which are also nice, but I prefer these. If you are having trouble with fogging, you might want to give these a try, but don't expect miracles.

I was getting ready to go to a shoot, pulled my shooting glasses out to clean them and the nosepiece broke! DANG I LOVE THOSE GLASSES!There were no markings on them, and I couldn’t remember what brand they were or where I bought them. Went to Amazon to snag something quick. Scrolling through I come across the same pair I had…GREAT! Also, there was a little note that says “you bought these in July 2014! No kidding?? 2014….Apparently, I bought the original pair over nine years ago! These have been the only glasses I have worn for shooting during that time. This includes tens of thousands of rounds shooting sporting clays and trap as well as four trips to Argentina for high volume dove shooting.I’m really upset that the nosepiece only lasted nine years (imagine the sweat, oil, nastiness in those nine years….YUCK!), but I’m going to give them one last chance. If this new pair doesn’t last at least TEN YEARS, I’m gonna take my money somewhere else!

These are sharp looking, comfortable wearing glasses with one major flaw. The ear frame is secured to a very small arear of the lens. This means the force from impacts is applied to a pinpoint location. For me this resulted in a broken lens after less then 2 weeks of casual use. They probably work fine as "shooting glasses" but look elsewhere for safety glasses.

I use these in different colors for sporting clays and trap shooting. Work great and no distraction from the upper frame of similar glasses. Not terrible pricing. I keep them in cases and they have held up to moderate use. So far these are my go to shotgunning glasses!

For the most part, these glasses are great. They're lightweight, clear and fit well. I have long eyelashes and they don't contact these glasses at all. They won't enhance your vision at all, but for ranges that require eye protection (ie, not the family farm) these are great. Also, I can wear these along with earmuffs as the side rails don't stick out so far as to conflict with my muffs. I do have to put these on first and put the muffs on over them, but I think that's because my muffs are a bit tight. I have another pair of Radians in a different style and these are my go-to glasses.I do think they're a bit flimsy so be careful with them if you're tossing them in a range bag. Also, the lenses are plastic so I'm assuming they aren't scratch-resistant. I haven't had a problem yet, but will probably pick up some microfiber bags to keep them in so they'll be protected from sand and grit.

Very good customer service a++
