ESS ICE 2.4 (not the NARO) work good, especially if you need prescriptions because they make a prescription inserts for their glasses. I bought the insert kit and the glasses for under $30 off of ebay, which is way cheaper than what the actual prescription lenses cost. They have great coverage and are made to military standards. I would suggest making sure the glasses come with an elastic retention strap though because they fit fairly loose on the head and could easily fall off if you like to give yourself whiplash or if you don't have a helmet or hat to help hold them down.

I hear a lot of good things about the Oakley M-frames.

Oh, a big thing you left out is your price range. It isn't uncommon to find people here that have eye pro that is worth over $100.

I wear these with great success. Cheap, impact rated, and easy to clean. They are easy to defog before games too, with the soap trick.

I got these at Sportman's warehouse/Wholesale sports/Dicksjoesbig5walmarttargetkthnxbbqwtf for 8 bucks. Great glasses, ANZI rated and you get cool guy points since they don't look stupid ;)
Never had a fogging issue with them and the price is pretty hard to beat.

Are they actually available at Dicks? I may stop by there on my way to oregon and get some if they are that cheap.

A common problem for me is fogging... Anything that has a clear plastic lens, and comes in contact with me, fogs.

Anti-Fog Soap Trick

This has been used on both shooting/safety glasses, and full seal ESS goggles. All of PSC used this for the BSP Challenge, and no one had fogging issues.


1)Remove non-lens pieces
2)Place one drop of dish soap on each lens front and back (total of 4 drops)
3)Use finger to distribute soap across entire lens surface (both front and back)
4)Set aside to dry
5)After dry, use soft cloth to lightly buff the dried soap until it is clear
6)Repeat for other lens front and back

Do NOT remove the soap from the lens, just lightly rub it in small circles till it becomes clear.

I haven't checked dicks, but I'm guessing they have them. You can also try calling them ;)
