Glasses with a low profile earpiece?

[PDXdave67]

looking for a very low profile pair of shooting glasses for my wife.
These need to work underneath full over the ear muffs without digging into the side of her head.
I have a set of Elvex RX500's which are great, but you can't get the in a non magnifying version.
Any ideas would be great!
Thanks

I just use the clear plastic safety glasses they provide us at work. I've never had an issue with them not working with my muffs. They're about the cheapest ones our parts dept can find, don't know the brand

Get muffs with gel ear seals or upgrade to gel ear seals for your particular model ear pro if available. Thats what makes the difference, not the eye pro. It allows it to form around the eye pro and doesn't push it into your skull. Plus they are super comfortable.

This is the main reason why a lot of shooters wear MSA sordin supreme pro x which come stock with gel ear seals. Expensive but worth the money if you shoot for extended periods of time.

I have a set of electronic muffs, but I do not use them as I found them too uncomfortable, especially when I shoot long guns.

I always use yellow ear plugs.
Those work the best with my glasses, lol!

 

[Glocktopus]

yes ear plugs are a solution lol, but sometimes you may need to double up, or maybe you are taking a training course or are in a match and need to be able to hear the instructor or range commands, that's where the electronic ear pro comes in. BTW you can get gel inserts for those howard leight impact sports at noisefighters.com or on their Amazon ...their sightlines gel ear pads

I use Wiley X Saber glasses - they come with removable ear pieces that can be replaced with an elastic band (included). It's how I use them. You can also get RX inserts (which I also have).

sometimes its easier to shoot without glasses.

Check out Decot shooting glasses.

Unfortunately it's not nearly as easy to replace an eyeball.

But you have a better chance on winning the lottery

Coming from someone that has not won the lottery, but has blown up a rifle, I'm not so sure about those odds.

Wiley X makes some of the best Shooting and safety glasses out there! Both the wife and I are YUGE fans of their eye wear!
Try these, they have a flat ear piece which seems to work with muffs well and not pinching your head!

Or a pair of these!

@PDXdave67

The key word you are looking for is "Flat Temple" safety glasses.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for all the replies, I appreciate it.
Gel ear cups are a great idea that I didn't know existed.

Might I also suggest investing in a few suppressors?

Some of these have thin earpieces:
