Cheers back to plan b lol they aint shy with the prices!
Swiss one riders is my safety glasses of choice, I cut the arms off just on top of my ears so they dont hurt with muffs on.

Sadly, they are kind of pricey. I'd be happy to locate a source where they are less expensive. But the front closing aspect is really convenient.
 
Ztek for the eyes I have had great luck with them, whatever you get though look for the Z87 on them. You can run a mesh screen on your helmet but you do also need glasses on in addition to that. I don't intentionally wash my plugs but many a time I have come across a freshly cleaned set in a pair of cleanish pants. As for the helmet I have petzl vertex vent which I have no complaints about. I took the ears and connectors off of my old husky helmet and snapped them right on. Some may disagree but I don't see the point of a helmet unless it has a chinstrap. For the future though I am not 100% sure how it works but you may want to look into equipment allowances for your employees. Say you give them an additional 25 cents per hour to their current wage. The 25 cents goes into their equipment account which they are allowed to spend on equipment that they want, new rope, saddle, some new little gadget that has come out. Benefits the company as a tax right off and the the benefit to the employee that he is not spending money out of his pocket on stuff that he needs to do work for you.

That's kind of what we're doing. It's not much about the tax right off though - that's what huge parties and company dinners are for!!

Any one order from w e s s p u r ? I am about to place an order, but can't find any decent reviews (not good reviews, just reviews in general). It seems like a reputable business, just want to check before I throw down almost a g note.

Im now the proud owner of 2 pairs of cliks one all the way brand new from Canada and another pair from ebay.co.uk
They are great for strimming but the arms are a little thick to be comfy with ear defenders (dremel time!!!)
 
LOL...or in your case, wind generated. Hey, at least you're being green...though I hear it's not easy.

I'll take mine with symphonic musik. I enjoy it whenever I'm creating a work of art, either on canvas or with a tree. Obviously, I'll take the wind generated version too, the sun doesn't always shine you know. I can guarantee wind.:)

Did I mention that I'm a surreal abstractionist? Most utility hacks are. ;)

Hey I missed that poke... I must retaliate. Uhm let me think, oh I know- UP YOUR NOSE WITH A RUBBER HOSE. There is some wind for ya Bigus ####ius.
Don't take it to heart but face to face you probably would do what most do which is to look at me strange and keep a good amount of distance. So far you have been doing pretty dam good.

Very little of me I am sure but what the heck?
Anyway good for all total PPE, which ever you chose, use or lose it is sure your going to get poked in the eye... probably worse.
Do you have to take the chaps off to chip?
