TAFKARM Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 The thing I like about the dixons vs generic sunglasses is that they are ballistic, which helps when you get a stone in the eye at speed... Quote
Dodgey Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 Can you flog me a pair Russ? They sound great Cheers Quote
TAFKARM Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 I'll have to dig them out, theyre in the garage somewhere so it will be the new year. I dont do dibs though, so I'll just stick the for sale ad up! 1 Quote
Stu Faulkner Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Gatorz. I used them for skydiving so they are certainly up to the job. Quote
MK11 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 I wore Mk9 flying goggles in the XI, they did the job. Quote
M444TTB Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 I wear ESS Advancer V12 goggles, which are British army issue. http://www.esseyepro.com/ESS-to-Introduce-Advancer-V-12-Goggle_9_news.html 1 Quote
s2rrr Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Industrial spoggles ensure you have safety lenses. Not too pricey either just a few quid. Bob Quote

stussysoil Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 I have had both the Dixon's goggles and a couple of pairs BodySpecs and the BodySpecs just edge it for me. Previously you had to order them from the States and run the risk of paying import tax, now they are stocked on Mike Dixons website http://www.uksportseyewear.co.uk/product.php/2/anti-mist-safety-glasses Quote
s2rrr Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Spoggles still £9 versus the above at £56 both safety specs I guess, must be exceptional for that difference in price. Bob. :cool: Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 How do the Spoggles do at sealing to your face? Much airflow round the sides? (That used to be the biggest issue I found with the more generic safety glasses). If they've got that covered, they're an absolute bargain! Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Are these what you mean Bob? Those do look like they'd do everything you needed, apart from coloured lenses, at least. Quote
CraigHew Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I use these http://www.uksportseyewear.co.uk/section.php/4/1/kit-cars-atv-goggles-glasses-eyewear UV3, the yellow tint lensed ones. Seem fine at all speeds......... Quote
Quinten Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 How do the Spoggles do at sealing to your face? Much airflow round the sides? (That used to be the biggest issue I found with the more generic safety glasses). If they've got that covered, they're an absolute bargain! Those are the ones I have. No issue with airflow into eyes, and reasonably comfortable. If I'd had to point out a negative, then it would be the lack of sun protection with the shaded version. They're not a substitute for normal sunglasses. Quote
