Goggles - what do you guys use?

Oakley motocross goggles....perfect for task

They're vented to stop them steaming up, adjustable strap and you can get replacement shatterproof lens so they'll last you ages. The surrounds have foam cushioning to fit to your face to keep out debris

From your description were you wearing protective glasses as opposed to full goggles?

Anything with the correct safety mark will do. You pay more for ones that don't mist up (never work!) or have a 'designer' name. My goggles were an ALDI buy and do a good job.
Scan screwfix for something

I've got one of those yellow-topped full face jobs, but it pisses me off no end. Not great with a mask under either, and gets in the way of my ear defenders. I tend to only use it with cutting/slitting discs - never heard of a thick grinding disc or flap disc etc. shattering in the same way, and I never use cheapo high-speed consumables after a carbide disc fell apart before I'd even got it near the work piece. It's also pretty cheap, and I'm not sure how much I trust it...
Good shout on the MX goggles, I saw a set with a bashed up lens at the car boot a while ago, should have picked them up!
I've had a few different pairs of safety goggles, but most either don't fit, are uncomfortable after 20 mins, steam up immediately, or get in the way of ear defenders. Thought it worth asking, as I can't be the only fussy skinny git on here that's had this problem.
Cheers for the replies.

all my years messing with cars grinding/cutting metal i hadnt got sparks in the eye until about 9 months ago when it happened twice in the space of 6 weeks in the same eye. one of them was when i was using my auto dim welding mask on grind mode in a wheel arch

something like this should be a bare minimum but they are a bit curse word, i don't like the safety glasses as sparks can get around the sides

i use some similar to these, they seal well and no sparks get in

Those were the sort I was wearing when I got metal in my eye. They don't form a good enough seal to keep debris out, particularly if it's going at high speed. I don't think they were particularly cheap pair either.

Are we related? Not for the first time I have had metal in my eyes, a couple of months ago a shard worked its was in past the googles and under my eyelid, 6 weeks later I'm back in eye casualty with a deep scratch on my cornier but not sure how that happened the scratch got infected and I'm now on a month long course of eye ointment.

Never had any issues with my ski goggles I bought at a flea market

I've got bits in my eyes from grinding a couple of times recently. I now have some well fitting goggles the old ones had the odd gap,must have a weird shape face ! I also have a proper face shield.
I might have told this before but the second time I got A&E to remove the bits with a needle I realised the anaesthetic hadn't worked the previous time they did it !

One thing to watch is that you don't get loads of junk caught in your hair, you can end up getting bits in your eyes when you have finished and taking a shower.

I'm a very naughty boy tbh. I don't use goggles at all. Very occasionally I'll use my welding mask if i can't avoid stuff flying at my face.

I should/do know better, having had bits dug out of my eye a couple of times now (one time was embedded in the lens covering of my eye :/ ) but I find them clumbersome and almost dangerous themselves by restricting my vision through being blurred or steamed up
