Thanks for the comment, bullet sponge. Try spitting on the inside of the lens first, wearing a bandana, and putting some powder (very, very light) on your face. It'll keep the moisture down and prevent fogging.

Great Vid! I have been going back and forth between the Wiley-X Rommel II and the Smith Optics Aegis Echo with very good results. I was able to pick up several sets of Aegis Echos when they were on a Clearance Sale and I was able to get several sets that I keep in my rifle cases and range bags as well as in my primary vehicle. I was introduced to the Rommel II by several SWCC members during an extended TAD tour in ASF and volunteered for bay patrolling that was an incredible fun time on the water going very fast and getting to shooting a M240B at stationary and moving targets. Please Keep up the GREAT WORK!
Hey Garand have you ever tried to do the run portion of the PT test with Heelys?
I just got a pair of Gatorz and they are without a doubt nicer than any Oakley's I've had.
@johnmacias9487

Oakleys: plastic, nonadjustable, overpriced, quicker material fatigue, slow customer service, not American made, and qqy-looking. Gatorz: the opposite of Oakleys.
Can I just say god bless garand thumb. I've been watching his vids for years and even now when I have a question this guy is always there with an answer, a trusted answer. And I say that as a professional couch commando, overly critical and unreasonable. Lol
Dude, you're really hitting on a lot of great topics!!!
Another great line of eye protection to check out is Wiley X. All of their glasses are ANSI rated as far as I know. Plus, the glasses they have with polarized lenses are outstanding. The visual clarity is top notch. They work great as sunglasses for everyday use too. For that reason in particular, I generally always have my eye pro with me in case a sporadic trip to the range occurs. Fair warning, the frame on them is kinda thick, which might cause your ear protection to break the seal around the ear and lose some effectiveness. I hadn't actually considered that aspect till I saw Garand Thumb point it out in this video, but its never really been a problem for me. So give Wiley X a look, or don't. I ain't trying to tell you how to live your life.
Smith Prospects and Hudsons have been my go to for years now. Mil spec rated and can be worn outside Mil and LE roles.
one of the best channel on KZread
Such a great opening and so true.
Love my Peltor coms! They're perfect for when I'm doing hardcore airsoft ops in the basement and mom needs to tell me the pizza rolls are ready. I even got her to talk in 10-codes to me so she doesn't break radio protocol. In the end, Love pillow was rescued and we all enjoyed pizza rolls.
You should definitely look at ESS Crossbows. I've used the regular frame for a few years, and they rock. Super comfy. I have a friend who wears those under his Peltors with no problem.
I like these old format videos so much better.
Started my tacticool journey w/ a pair of Wiley X SG-1 with custom special-edition mirrored lenses. I had no end of problems w/ sweating and fogging, in a drydrydry Australia and SoCal... So I got me a sweet pair of ESS CDIs, which went through my hell of a rough treatment and survived, only to get lost by my niece-in-law, by the fault of all my in-laws... So I'm currently wearing ESS ICE, currently on my 3rd pair. They're highly recommended, no problems with them, I ensure they stay on my head by doing up a custom-knotted self-tightened elastic bungie. Finally stored away my much-well-used and loved ESS ICE, replacing them with a sweet pair of ESS Crossbow, if it's good enough for Nutnfancy, it's good enough for me!
US MIL-PRF-31013 is the six times kinetic energy level of the ANSI Z87.1+. So the only sensible option is going with eye protection which complies to mil-spec. Take a look at US ARMY Authorized Protective Eyewear List.
damn that notification bell is the business. we have a weird community here. THOTS gather round
Half day from school and a new video!!
Great video, your really good at running in slow motion... amazing
Loving the Oakley 3.0 and the varaiaty of glass colours.
Great video and I might check out the Smith's. I'm currently using Revision Hellfly Ballistic Sunglasses with the Photocromic lenses which I really like instead of swapping out lenses but I find they will fog pretty easily when it's hot out.
gatorz are really solid. they make them in all different type of frame styles and lens colors. they even have a clear lens option

big fan of my Oakley Mframe 3.0 glasses. also love my Oakley Radar, and i also wear Oakley Gascan

More than one. Feels weird to be jumping out like "we're here" to be acknowledged, lol. Still searching for a review that mentions small ballistic glasses to fit my female head.
What are you wearing now in 2022 ?
I've use my WileyX glasses for a few years and haven't noticed any interference with my ear pro. Not sure if they meet the standards but they're approved for any training classes and ranges I've been to.
Lol. Couldn't be better timing on this video. Today we (my team) T&Eed the Smith, Revision, ESS, and Wiley X because we want to move away from the goggles. I have used ESS and Wiley X glasses in the past, but based on my limited experience with the Revision, I liked them the best. Did not fog and felt the most comfortable.
The Oakley M Frames SI 3.0's are great! Work well w over the ear pro. The full seal Helo inserts are great for Tankers like myself blocking sand and other airborne bullshit! I know a lot of the SF Airborne operators like them for jumps. Theyve been very good to me on deployments hence keeping up w the Joneses in the newest version. I dont care if its nerdy, but i got a pair in multicam and really like they did some M Frames up camo. 2-13 Cav Rgt "Dark Riders"! Scouts Out!
I enjoy this channel too much.
I took your advice and started screaming Barney’s I love you, you love me song through the envelope slot in my front door at the nice Dominos man. He was so happy of my kind song that he started shaking, in fact he was so happy that he couldn’t even remember how to speak. Great advice (11/10) would recommend.

It's really cool when your on patrol scanning the ground for I.E.Ds and you glasses fog up.... awesome
Have tried ESS ICE 3 Naro, Oakley M Frame Strike, M Frame 2.0 and Revision Hellfly. All top glasses. Only APEL, ANSI, Z87+ or similar, safety first. You can get a bunch of rifles but only 2 eyes.
Keep up the great work brother!👍👍
Man you guys have come a long way since the Wiley X from 2005 or so.
The new Magpul glasses work pretty good and look cool
When I go to the range I normally wear standard OSHA approved safety glasses. I all ways have them with me. They are very thin over the ears and and I don't have any sweating issues. For me they work well.
For us old crappers, I look forward to your review Rx eye protection. WileyX Valor is what I ware. But I need a complex lens for close and distance. Thanks for outstanding content with a smattering of humor.
notif squad we out here. flannel review video when?
Ok, I’m new to the channel. I’ve seen you talk about how crazy the comment sections are.. and you’re right. I love it. I’m in. But not in that way 💕
So my personnel recommendation would be the Oakley Shocktubes if you want a lower profile ballistic sunglass. They're saved my eyesight when a lady decided to head-oned my patrol vehicle earlier this year (2022). They held up without even a scratch despite flying glass, debris, and full airbag deployment. I have a lot of Oakley sunglass, and ballistic sunglasses in general, but I always revert back to the Shocktubes.
Commenting as requested lol thanks for all the great content!
"Like, comment, subscribe.....Do all that good shit." I like when you talk to us like that Mr. Thumb.
That slow mow running clip is like watching tactical baywatch.....so hot 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great vid!
Didn't have Eyepro during the invasion of Iraq or earpro. Didn't have any issues, get eyepro for 2nd deployment. 3 eye surgeries later and I still need reading glasses lol. Huge advocate for eyepro regardless of it not working for me when I needed it the most. Eyepro is essential for the small things. I wont shoot without them, shit I don't even weed wack the lawn without them and yes i break the cardinal rule of looking cool.
I let an arrested subject "escape" so I could get home on time to watch the new Garand Thumb.
I just picked up glasses from ESS. So far so good. I look dam good in them tooo! Thanks for the vid.
Hey GT, I literally just discovered your channel and have so far watched 5 vids back-to-back really outfuckingstanding vids. Great way to share the wisedom. Thanks for posting and keep ém coming. Liked and Subscribed.
I have a set of Oakley M Frame 3.0's and have had them for about 3 years now and wear them just about everyday. They're great under over the ear hearing pro, the brow can sometimes get pushed against your forehead and contain the sweat but it's not very often. The only thing I hated was that little clip that holds the lense to the frames, it broke about 6 months ago or so and I doubt I can get a replacement of just that part. I was looking to replace them with the new M Frame Alphas soon though. Other than that stupid little lense clip thing, (Which has been eliminated on the Alphas) they work amazingly well. That and they look pretty cool and that's what matters the most.
notification squad up
how bout some info on NVG's....thank you for all the great videos!!!! super grateful.
Definitely one of my favorite gum channels, new to it and great comedy. But I was wondering, I'm a 21yo college student and I have been thinking about joining the military after I graduate, curious if you have any incite and whatnot. My dad is ex-sf officer, but I kind of want a different perspective on being in the military and if you have any advice. Not exactly sure what you do, but I'm guessing sf or a specialized unit. But great advice on training and whatnot. Keep putting them out, I enjoy it and watch these between classes. Thanks.
I'll stick with an extra pair of eyeballs
gatorz has come out with the inferno lens which will become clear when dark out could be a good option
I like your haircut dad.
Good looooord you are Forest Whitaker in thid vid, that being said you are my hero
I love my ESSs Crosbows with prescription lenses adapter.
I use ESS ICE and now I consider purchasing Boole Ranger just for fun and looking cool.
If anyone is experiencing fogging problems but don’t want to change glasses try a product called frog spit, I haven’t used it personally but someone I know (who is experienced in many types of combat) recommended it to me when I got a glasses strap
Do a video on different calibers and why/when should you use each one.
ESS Suppressors are also great to wear with hearing protection and are balistic-rated. They do have that "brow" though (which I personaly dont mind)
Ops-Core Mk1's is where it's at. Cerakoted thin aluminum frames, multiple replaceable lenses with different coatings, foam or rubber eye seals etc
Nice fresh cut bro.
ESS Ice naro's have worked pretty well for me... As they're pretty much the only one that are not too big for my face.
Personally I'm a huge fan of the ESS crossbow glasses. I haven't used any of the eye pro from the video so I can't really compare them but the crossbow suppressors are super comfy under ear pro.

@@danielney6 I have two different frames for them, the slim one for under earpro has little holes for an included strap and the “normal” sunglasses frame has rubber grips on the arms. The strap is really unobtrusive and the other frames fit like normal sunglasses. I find the slim frames fall off without earpro and honestly I just have the lanyard always attached to them.
Awesome content thanks
Was my gender just assumed? WTF. Thanks Obama....
WileyX works for me, sometimes get a little seepage through the muffs but with double protection it isn't a big deal. Their lenses are nicely polarized but soft, and will scratch. But they are replaceable at a reasonable cost and the frames/hinges are very durable. $60 a pair compared to $100+ for the bougie brands.
yeah man thats pretty chill
The link that you have is for the m frame the military S.I ones are the Oakley m frame 3.0 plus the look cool and retail for 130 they have a unique lens called prizm that makes what you see more clear.
I like my Oakley Radar Range glasses with the PRIZM TR45 colored lenses.
using oakley Mframe 3.0 for running ,shooting and airsoft ^^
You gotta go Oakley - tactical and cool!
Have been a fan of Wiley X for a while now, but the frames can pry up over-ear hearing protection depending on how you're holding the weapon. It's always a nice surprise when you least expect it, then you're saying "huh? What?" for the next few hours...
I'm a chick and I love your videos, content, and I'm a firearm enthusiast! 😉
ANSI Z87.1 is standard impact protection, Ansi Z87.1+ is high velocity impact protection. Get the ones with the plus.
Good stuff.
I'm a monicle, top hat kinda guy so I'll leave it to the pro-pros...great vid
Bahahahahaha!!! Epic troll Bro! That basically summed up every glasses video I have seen in the past 3 years!
Great video as always! Could you make one about the differences between hk- vs usgi- vs p- vs ... mags? And could you also do a video about short stroke piston (hk416, scar) vs the m4 system (idk what it is called, something with direct...)
I've been wearing gas cans by Oakley for over 4 years and they are super tough and stick to your face well.

Revisions no good ? I need a pair of goggles since I live in the desert it’s not something I’ll spend much time in but something I should keep in my bag of kit I figured if revision was Mil spec it was good enough for my bag. I wasn’t under the impression that Mil spec meant top of the line by any means I just usually assume Mil spec shit works so let me know what you think.
i love the WileyX Valor's for eyepro
Hows it going Garand Thumb. I have to wear Prescription glasses have no Idea how they are rated, But when I was on the Yakima Firing Range 30+ years ago I had Eagle eyes. Now I have old man eyes. We do love your Channel keep the Humor flying. Thank you
Since I need prescription lenses,I use Oakley Half Jackets. XLJ lens over the standard lens. Polarized too.
I wear prescription lenses in Wiley X frams for work. Wiley X are ANSI Z87.1 stamped.
