![]() There was just one little problem: batters and catchers alike were getting mangled by the newly-invented curveball. Meanwhile, in the 19th century, America was beginning to fall in love with a little game called baseball. This made them run faster in races, as well as perform their duties as carriage horses while remaining docile. Around the 18th century C.E., blinders began to be used to keep the horses focused on what was ahead of them. The next innovation in sporting goggles was actually made for horses. The first fencing masks were used in Egypt at around 1200 B.C.E. As a result, protective eyewear has been around for almost as long as sports themselves.įencing was as much practice for military endeavors as it was a sport, but either way, blinding your best soldiers isn't really a recipe for success in battle. If there's one thing that's remained true throughout history, it's that it's hard to excel at sports if you can't see. The Gear District UV400 are a nice replacement for the polarized pair we eliminated, and the Pellor SHSG05 are a logical option if you plan to get prescription lenses installed. We added several quality items to the list, including the Bangerz HS-OTG, which can be worn over traditional glasses to act as an extra layer of protection. While the Supertrip Safety are an economical choice that provide clear vision and glare-blocking properties, we did note complaints that they tend to allow wind past the seal, which can irritate some users. We also removed the Golden Vision Eliminator and Pyramex I-Force both suffer from serious fogging issues, while the latter offers poor clarity to begin with. Two items were no longer available: the RockBros Polarized and Eversport 1601. ![]() We’ve got rankings for everything from swim goggles and air soft goggles to ski goggles and motorcycle riding glasses. We tried to keep this list focused on multipurpose options, but if you’re interested in protection for a specific activity, then you might have better luck with one of our specialized lists. So, whether you’re on the playground or in a gymnasium, this pair should have you covered. We liked the way this model came with a cleaning cloth and storage case, and were especially grabbed by its self-tinting lenses, which automatically darken during daylight, but lighten up in darker environments. We also added the Birdz Eyewear Flyer Extreme to our list. This list was still in good shape, and we got through this round of updates without making a lot of big changes, although we did remove the Ponsoon 1809 due to availability issues. ![]()
