Durable glasses; I practically immediately swapped out the temples for elastic bands because the original ones pressed on my ears, especially when I was also wearing shooting earmuffs, which naturally put extra pressure on the ears.
Wiley X Saber Advanced Set 2in1 Tactical Glasses - Smoke Grey/Light Rust/Matte Black
Protective eyewear delivers ballistic eye protection, shielding the eyes from fragments, ricocheting projectiles, and other airborne hazards in compliance with Class F (objects weighing 0.86 g traveling at 45 m/s). A broad visor and robust build guarantee not only high-level protection for the wearer’s eyes but also maintain optimal user comfort during operation.
anatomically formed frames, HVP technology
Anatomically contoured frames and visors are constructed using HVP (High Velocity Protection) technology, offering reliable defense for the eyes against high-velocity impacts. The ergonomic design of the frames guarantees a secure and comfortable fit, even when wearing earmuffs or night vision equipment. A specially engineered, adjustable nose pad further enhances the personalized fit by adapting to the contours of the nose. The frames utilize Triloid, a lightweight yet highly durable nylon material.
durable polycarbonate visor
Saber Advanced model’s interchangeable visors are crafted from highly durable polycarbonate Selenite, conforming to the ballistic ANSI, EN166 F protection standards. Delivering 100% defense against dangerous UVA and UVB radiation, the visors feature a broad design and rugged construction that guarantee both optimal eye safety and comfort during prolonged use. A soft foam shield positioned at the top further increases comfort and serves as a barrier to prevent sweat from impairing vision. Enhanced scratch resistance is provided thanks to the T-Shell coating applied to the visors.
The Orange visor offers 57% light transmittance, boosting visual contrast for better clarity in overcast and dim lighting scenarios. Additional protection against unpleasant glare is ensured by filtering HEV blue light. For use in intense sunlight, the tinted visor with a 15% light transmission is recommended.
Standards and certifications

Selenite visors are made of unbreakable polycarbonate, which provides high visual clarity and UV protection.
T-Shell is a coating on Wiley X glasses that resists scratches, protects lenses from damage and extends their life.
Frames made of Triloid nylon provide lightweight and highly comfortable glasses. Triloid features optimal hardness and is highly resistant to impacts and falls.
Z87.1 standard developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for the durability of eye protectors. The standard includes two types of tests (3 tests) for the impact resistance of the lens and the stability of its seating in the frame: resistance to High Mass and High Velocity objects.
According to this standard, the frame and lenses of glasses must provide protection against a bullet with a diameter of 3.8 mm fired at 194-200 m/s (700-720 km/h). Goggles must provide protection against a 5.56 mm diameter bullet fired at 165-170 m/s (594-612 km/h). Lenses and frames marked with the Ballistic standard provide the highest level of eye protection and are virtually indestructible.
According to this standard, the frame and visor of the glasses can withstand the impact of a 6.35 mm diameter steel BBs traveling at 45 m/s (164.6 km/h).

Not much to write here, thick plastic, the set includes clear and tinted lenses that can be swapped depending on your preference. The thick plastic looks and feels solid, they fit well, and I have a big head. The set includes a pouch and a lanyard—nothing more to want if you need something like this.
