    shooting safety glasses

    I am going to purchase a pair of shooting safety glasses but need a bit of guidance. What is with the different colour lenses. I realise the different colours assist in varying light conditions but what conditions and colours I know not!
    Help please. I suppose an ideal would be glasses frames with interchangable colour lenses? Ideas?
    Thanks

    I think in general terms that the following applies:

    Clear lenses - normal light conditions with no direct sun
    Yellow lenses - low light conditions
    Polarized lenses - high sunlight reduce glare


    Not too sure on any others but if you aim to shoot over all the main conditions then interchangeable lenses may be the best option for you.

    Glasses

    Thanks for that sharpshooter. Quick response. Now I need to find a set with interchangeable lens. At least then I know I should be in with a chance of getting it right. All I need now is to practice till I hit something

    Looks like I cant put a link up to that site. It is the most commonly used auction site. Sorry if I tried to do something I wasnt supposed to!!

    When i used to airsoft last year a good place that provided good safety glasses with different lenses was B&Q. The safety glasses you wear when operating nail guns will more than suffice against a stray pellet, they did when i used them anyway.
