These are quite good, standard issue on most oil and gas installations off shore, i have several pairs including some tinted ones which look quite cool. Best aspect is the anti mist feature which realy does workI'm quite tempted by these because they look comfy and the strap means they won't fall off when I look down like my current ones do. They apparently have an anti scratch coating which would be nice because I can barely see through mine. What do you think?
And they look cool.
That's interesting to hear, I recommend them all the time and never had any issues, do you use a mask at the same time?i have a pair and they are prone to steaming up a fair bit mate, i stick to there standard glasses now http://www.safetyglassesusa.com/bolle-spirit.html
That's exactly what I wanted to hear.

Definitely go with clear if working inside and the tinted ones if working in the sunshine or if there's lots of glare say near the water. Yellow tinted ones are just a bit silly in my opinionThat's exactly what I wanted to hear. Do you think I should get clear, tinted or yellow tinted?

Why? These seal around the eyes like goggles would.The glasses are good but get some goggles or a full face screen for grinding.
A full face shield is really the best PPE for grinding. While goggles protect the eyes from sparks they will do virtually nothing in the event of a disc shattering. There was an accident on a site I was working on a year ago where this happened and although the guy had eye protection on it did not save his face from around 30 stitches and a life time scar when part of a 7 inch disc broke and imbedded itself in his cheek.Why?

I'm was gonna get the Bolle Trackers in the link in my first post but I've just had a look at their goggles and they look very similar so I might get them instead.I thought you had decided to go for normal glasses, I use standard Bolle glasses all the time at work but not for grinding or overhead work. The seal type are ok for grinding but a visor is much nicer when the muck starts flying!
I'll get a face shield one day but for now I think careful positioning of my face in relation to the grinder and only using descent, undamaged discs will suffice.A full face shield is really the best PPE for grinding.
