Oakley SI Ballistic Goggles Military | eBay

Looking for some ballistic goggles with interchangeable and replaceable googles for work. Wanna explore my oakley options

There's a few SI gear floating around ebay that's obtained via US Oakley SI channels. While I can't speak about that specific pair of SI goggles, here's my solution to goggles for work: Custom Romeo goggles | Oakley Forum

They would die in a week with my work lol

I would doubt that unless you intend to run them over with a bulldozer. I've got straps on them so they don't fall off. I've been hit with quite a lot of shrapnel whilst jackhammering and it survived that easily. If you're doing some serious heavy demolition work you should be using a face visor anyway

Super abrasive air borne particles.

ie. sandstorm? Lenses will get trashed yeh, but the frame won't be. I cut my own clear lenses for cheap anyway so it's like replacing decent throw-away goggles periodically.

Wat do u cut them from?

 

[jdd32]

Oakley goggle lenses. 100% impact resistant and 100% Oakley.

 

[scottpenrith]

Thats a good idea. How manu cuts you get from 1 goggle lense?

usually 1 pair if you want to keep HDO correct. I had some old goggles lying around anyway with broken straps and disintegrated foam. That's why I made the custom.
