I have the ACM Zeros, but those things just don't look right to me. And they are kind of uncomfortable...

I use a pair of S&W's. They are scratch-resistent, but need to be treated to de-fog. Good air flow.

not quite as good as clear lens when it's dark/overcast but much better than fogged lenses.

Beran has some pretty kick a$$ safety glasses that incorporate the Rx lenses.

Another (more spendy option) is Oakleys (you can get any style in Rx lenses) - I freaking LOVE my flack jackets, especially since the lenses can be changed out for different colors and are cool enough for every day use, I've never had a problem with them fogging, and they're also pretty indestructible since they have snap points where they'll give instead of breaking. One of the workers at the oakley outlet store in Woodburn told me he's seen people who ran over them with cars come in to replace the lenses, the frames were still as good as new.

Or spend a lot of cash on WileyX's prescription line.

If not already mentioned, look up the ESS crossbow. They are supposedly the best safety glades available, and the company is owned by Oakley, do you know it's good. They have their own line of RX inserts too. I have both and they are FREAKING AWESOME!

I've been wearing a Rx pair of Wiley-X Brick eyepro for almost 3 years, and they have been great. They rarely fog, and so far have shrugged off many direct lens hits without even showing a mark.

I'm going to third the whole mesh thing, More specifically these. After shipping they're like $15 and mine got here in about 3 days. No fog and I've taken hits to the eyehole several times in these with no visible denting.

This is an old post and I hate to dig it up but I am curious. I've been playing airsoft now for seven years and I'm an avid user of mesh goggles. I've had the same pair for a long time and they are fantastic. No damage, no issues and i've been shot in the face at least 50 times. The ones I have are similar to the ones in he link at the bottom. The larger mesh almost totally negates any issue of glare from the sun and obviously I have 100% no issues with fogging. I don't really get why more people dont use mesh. thoughts?

Not sure whether to count this as a necro or not....

I'd say most people don't use mesh because a.) many fields don't allow it for insurance reasons, and b.) there is a somewhat commonly held belief among casual airsofters that BBs shatter all the time, and that wearing mesh is just asking to have your eyes shotgun'd by plastic fragments. I don't think that's particularly accurate, but I feel that is why most people don't use mesh.
