Has anyone tried the Soundvision glasses that were featured in FWW? The glasses velcro onto the outside of hearing protectors and do not get pinched between your head and the hearing protection.
If so, are the amber glasses good for woodworking? I have waited about 4 months for the clear glasses to become available but haven’t seen any updates.
Thanks for the feeback – lost a little hearing earlier this year and I believe it was due to the sound leak from regular fit of glasses and hearing protectors.

Brian,
Having misspent my youth working around very loud machinery, one thing I learned from the old-timers was to use the little, disposable foam earplugs in addition to the muffs. If the cusions are real soft on the muffs, there's not much of a problem with glasses. My favorite is Peltor shooting muffs. As far as the glasses go, a pale amber lens will tend to cut down glare and may 'sharpen' things a bit. I think that's just a personal choice.
