    My gel cups arrived for my HLIS a couple of days ago. Very comfortable and can accommodate eyeglasses' temple tips comfortably in the recesses provided.

    So apart from all the brand name dropping for eye protection, would regular safety glasses fro your local hardware store work?

    As per the first response to OP's question... reading is imperative

    But there are many other great options available if you don't need it to improve your vision.
    Even standard safety glasses do the trick well. Lens colours and effects are up to personal preference.

    I wonder why professionals who shoot guns for a living don't wear R100/R200/R300/R400 etc ballistic eyewear. What do they know that we do not know?

    For me personally, my Oakley range glasses are multi purpose. I use them for cycling, work (need PPE for splicing and/or site surveys) and pew pew.
    Would they stop/deflect a direct hit at 1000+ FPS? No.
    Would they stop/deflect a ricochet and protect my eyes? Definitely.
    And one day when I'm big and I earn Zuma dollars, I might swap out the lenses. For now, they work just fine.
