Angry Little Asian Man's Review of Revision Eyewear Sawfly Eyeshield Essential kit with Clear and Smoke Lenses
Like many others, I got issued a pair of these at basic training and RFI for deployment. Some people like them, but I'm not really a fan.
I mean, they work as well as any other pair of eye protection, and for those with Rx inserts, you don't have to swap out the nose piece. Though they don't clip in or retain by any means other than just slipping on, so. Be careful.
They scuff about as much as any other set, but then the most care I ever gave these or any other pair of eye pro was putting them in the microfiber bag and throwing them in my pocket. So I suppose I can't really fault Revision for that. User error, mostly.
The lenses are easy enough to switch between tinted and clear, although I kept feeling like I was going to break them with how much I had to bend the frame.
My problem with the Sawfly is the frame. Now, my cap size is a 7 ¼. I don't think I have a tiny head, but I HAVE to use the elastic strap to keep them on my face. No amount of bending the flexible arms would get them to hug my head, but then the arms didn't hold their bend anyway.
If you aren't worried about using the elastic, or you have the right (LARGE) head size for these, maybe they're for you. For eye protection, they're pretty cheap. So if you find yourself some place that you have to wear eye protection but aren't going to be running around with these bouncing up and down on your face, give these a go.
