There is no doubt I would have lost a eye on this one. Still hurt like hell even with the glasses

I have always wondered how Costas would hold up to an impact. I have been wearing the Harpoon 580's for about 5 years in refineries and chemical plants as safety glasses. I have only had one operator make the comment "I didnt know Costa made safety glasses". Told him they were a new series and eased on out of that control room. Good to know they will take a blow.

All I can say is that it took a direct hit from about 10 feet with a 1/4 oz lead head and didnt blow up

It costs $100, I had to send my Man O' Wars back for the same thing in February and that's what they charged me.
