I wear Oakleys while I shoot because they look cool, and that's all that matters

despite being all dudes this comment section still has more sexual tension than freshman homecoming

eye patch> eye pro

BOOM! I hit the bell, got the notice and now I'm here. Now, let's talk about fitness and nutrition: How many bags of Bugles should we be eating?

Cute haircut.

Mom bought me some Dewalts. 10/10 would recommend

I identify as a 2012 Honda Accord (luxury edition)

I just got a pair of Gatorz and they are without a doubt nicer than any Oakley's I've had.

I come here for Daddy's load of knowledge....I stay to read all the amazing comments his followers make

I will stick to my Minecraft shades thx xx

Another great line of eye protection to check out is Wiley X. All of their glasses are ANSI rated as far as I know. Plus, the glasses they have with polarized lenses are outstanding. The visual clarity is top notch. They work great as sunglasses for everyday use too. For that reason in particular, I generally always have my eye pro with me in case a sporadic trip to the range occurs. Fair warning, the frame on them is kinda thick, which might cause your ear protection to break the seal around the ear and lose some effectiveness. I hadn't actually considered that aspect till I saw Garand Thumb point it out in this video, but its never really been a problem for me. So give Wiley X a look, or don't. I ain't trying to tell you how to live your life.

I refuse to wear eye pro while daddy garand paints my face.

Didn't have Eyepro during the invasion of Iraq or earpro. Didn't have any issues, get eyepro for 2nd deployment. 3 eye surgeries later and I still need reading glasses lol. Huge advocate for eyepro regardless of it not working for me when I needed it the most. Eyepro is essential for the small things. I wont shoot without them, shit I don't even weed wack the lawn without them and yes i break the cardinal rule of looking cool.

What are you wearing now in 2022 ?

Review some flannel shirts for us Daddy!

i find they all steam up. but then again I am very fat.

US MIL-PRF-31013 is the six times kinetic energy level of the ANSI Z87.1+. So the only sensible option is going with eye protection which complies to mil-spec. Take a look at US ARMY Authorized Protective Eyewear List.

Lol. Couldn't be better timing on this video. Today we (my team) T&Eed the Smith, Revision, ESS, and Wiley X because we want to move away from the goggles. I have used ESS and Wiley X glasses in the past, but based on my limited experience with the Revision, I liked them the best. Did not fog and felt the most comfortable.

The Oakley M Frames SI 3.0's are great! Work well w over the ear pro. The full seal Helo inserts are great for Tankers like myself blocking sand and other airborne bullshit! I know a lot of the SF Airborne operators like them for jumps. Theyve been very good to me on deployments hence keeping up w the Joneses in the newest version. I dont care if its nerdy, but i got a pair in multicam and really like they did some M Frames up camo. 2-13 Cav Rgt "Dark Riders"! Scouts Out!

Love my Peltor coms! They're perfect for when I'm doing hardcore airsoft ops in the basement and mom needs to tell me the pizza rolls are ready. I even got her to talk in 10-codes to me so she doesn't break radio protocol. In the end, Love pillow was rescued and we all enjoyed pizza rolls.

gatorz are really solid. they make them in all different type of frame styles and lens colors. they even have a clear lens option

Started my tacticool journey w/ a pair of Wiley X SG-1 with custom special-edition mirrored lenses. I had no end of problems w/ sweating and fogging, in a drydrydry Australia and SoCal... So I got me a sweet pair of ESS CDIs, which went through my hell of a rough treatment and survived, only to get lost by my niece-in-law, by the fault of all my in-laws... So I'm currently wearing ESS ICE, currently on my 3rd pair. They're highly recommended, no problems with them, I ensure they stay on my head by doing up a custom-knotted self-tightened elastic bungie. Finally stored away my much-well-used and loved ESS ICE, replacing them with a sweet pair of ESS Crossbow, if it's good enough for Nutnfancy, it's good enough for me!

Smith Prospects and Hudsons have been my go to for years now. Mil spec rated and can be worn outside Mil and LE roles.

Hey Garand have you ever tried to do the run portion of the PT test with Heelys?

You should definitely look at ESS Crossbows. I've used the regular frame for a few years, and they rock. Super comfy. I have a friend who wears those under his Peltors with no problem.

Have tried ESS ICE 3 Naro, Oakley M Frame Strike, M Frame 2.0 and Revision Hellfly. All top glasses. Only APEL, ANSI, Z87+ or similar, safety first. You can get a bunch of rifles but only 2 eyes.

I've use my WileyX glasses for a few years and haven't noticed any interference with my ear pro. Not sure if they meet the standards but they're approved for any training classes and ranges I've been to.

big fan of my Oakley Mframe 3.0 glasses. also love my Oakley Radar, and i also wear Oakley Gascan

I took your advice and started screaming Barney’s I love you, you love me song through the envelope slot in my front door at the nice Dominos man. He was so happy of my kind song that he started shaking, in fact he was so happy that he couldn’t even remember how to speak. Great advice (11/10) would recommend.

For us old crappers, I look forward to your review Rx eye protection. WileyX Valor is what I ware. But I need a complex lens for close and distance. Thanks for outstanding content with a smattering of humor.

I like these old format videos so much better.

Loving the Oakley 3.0 and the varaiaty of glass colours.

Such a great opening and so true.

I make my wife watch your intros because we both find them hilariously amazing, so you do have at minimum one female that watches however brief it may be.

So my personnel recommendation would be the Oakley Shocktubes if you want a lower profile ballistic sunglass. They're saved my eyesight when a lady decided to head-oned my patrol vehicle earlier this year (2022). They held up without even a scratch despite flying glass, debris, and full airbag deployment. I have a lot of Oakley sunglass, and ballistic sunglasses in general, but I always revert back to the Shocktubes.

Personally I'm a huge fan of the ESS crossbow glasses. I haven't used any of the eye pro from the video so I can't really compare them but the crossbow suppressors are super comfy under ear pro.

Can I just say god bless garand thumb. I've been watching his vids for years and even now when I have a question this guy is always there with an answer, a trusted answer. And I say that as a professional couch commando, overly critical and unreasonable. Lol

damn that notification bell is the business. we have a weird community here. THOTS gather round

gatorz has come out with the inferno lens which will become clear when dark out could be a good option

If anyone is experiencing fogging problems but don’t want to change glasses try a product called frog spit, I haven’t used it personally but someone I know (who is experienced in many types of combat) recommended it to me when I got a glasses strap

I let an arrested subject "escape" so I could get home on time to watch the new Garand Thumb.

It's really cool when your on patrol scanning the ground for I.E.Ds and you glasses fog up.... awesome

one of the best channel on KZfaq

Great Vid! I have been going back and forth between the Wiley-X Rommel II and the Smith Optics Aegis Echo with very good results. I was able to pick up several sets of Aegis Echos when they were on a Clearance Sale and I was able to get several sets that I keep in my rifle cases and range bags as well as in my primary vehicle. I was introduced to the Rommel II by several SWCC members during an extended TAD tour in ASF and volunteered for bay patrolling that was an incredible fun time on the water going very fast and getting to shooting a M240B at stationary and moving targets. Please Keep up the GREAT WORK!

Notification Squad..... y'all the real MVP's

ESS Suppressors are also great to wear with hearing protection and are balistic-rated. They do have that "brow" though (which I personaly dont mind)

Half day from school and a new video!!

"Like, comment, subscribe.....Do all that good shit." I like when you talk to us like that Mr. Thumb.

Thank you, another informative video. I'm from Switzerland and bought the other day at my local gun store SWISS MADE 🇨🇭"Red Rock Eyewear". They started as motorcycle eyewear company but even the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) is wearing those glasses. They are suuuuuper light and extra thin made around the ears for under helmets and hearing protection, and they are shatterproof. Maybe anyone wants to have a look...

notification squad up

Looking cool > Safety = No eye pro

When I go to the range I normally wear standard OSHA approved safety glasses. I all ways have them with me. They are very thin over the ears and and I don't have any sweating issues. For me they work well.

That slow mow running clip is like watching tactical baywatch.....so hot 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Have been a fan of Wiley X for a while now, but the frames can pry up over-ear hearing protection depending on how you're holding the weapon. It's always a nice surprise when you least expect it, then you're saying "huh? What?" for the next few hours...

Just a straight female passing by. I'm only here to stare at garand for 5 minutes. 😛

Ops-Core Mk1's is where it's at. Cerakoted thin aluminum frames, multiple replaceable lenses with different coatings, foam or rubber eye seals etc

make a video on nvgs you recommend

Great video and I might check out the Smith's. I'm currently using Revision Hellfly Ballistic Sunglasses with the Photocromic lenses which I really like instead of swapping out lenses but I find they will fog pretty easily when it's hot out.

ANSI Z87.1 is standard impact protection, Ansi Z87.1+ is high velocity impact protection. Get the ones with the plus.

I like your haircut dad.

Man you guys have come a long way since the Wiley X from 2005 or so.

Was my gender just assumed? WTF. Thanks Obama....

notif squad we out here. flannel review video when?

I enjoy this channel too much.

Oakley Tombstones are just the way to go with shooting glasses. You simply don't know what you haven't seen with all those other glasses on unless you tried Tombstones. I would never ever shoot clay or from the ground without them again. The field of view man, the field of view...

Up until a year ago, I didn’t realize that I need better eyepro. Not because I was wearing sub par ones but because I needed Asian fit ones. Asians have a shallower nose brige so it’s a bit of a problem with most eye pro. I am wearing the Oakley Flak 2.0 Asian fit ones. They fit perfectly and I have the shooter lens in them. Also, they are more sunglasses style so I don’t mind wearing them everyday.

Ok, I’m new to the channel. I’ve seen you talk about how crazy the comment sections are.. and you’re right. I love it. I’m in. But not in that way 💕

do you have any recommendations for prescription lenses? I currently run CDI eye pro but run into a lot of the problems you mentioned with sweat and eye pro.

The link that you have is for the m frame the military S.I ones are the Oakley m frame 3.0 plus the look cool and retail for 130 they have a unique lens called prizm that makes what you see more clear.

Great video, your really good at running in slow motion... amazing

Do a video on different calibers and why/when should you use each one.

very insightful never thought about the frames with eye pro

I wear prescription glasses so its always a big problem to find glasses the can go over

Definitely one of my favorite gum channels, new to it and great comedy. But I was wondering, I'm a 21yo college student and I have been thinking about joining the military after I graduate, curious if you have any incite and whatnot. My dad is ex-sf officer, but I kind of want a different perspective on being in the military and if you have any advice. Not exactly sure what you do, but I'm guessing sf or a specialized unit. But great advice on training and whatnot. Keep putting them out, I enjoy it and watch these between classes. Thanks.

I'll stick with an extra pair of eyeballs

I use ESS ICE and now I consider purchasing Boole Ranger just for fun and looking cool.

The new Magpul glasses work pretty good and look cool

Revision Sawfly MAX-Wrap This is the one that i use in the german Bundeswehr.

If one is looking for a set of clear eyepro, then strolling down to the safety glasses at Home Depot or Tractor Supply can yield some good results. Construction guys who have to wear them all day will complain about all the stuff you might, so they will be comfortable and antifog, as well as have a Z87.1 rating. Plus you might save a couple bucks from them not being marketed as "tactical".

I wear prescription lenses in Wiley X frams for work. Wiley X are ANSI Z87.1 stamped.

Nice fresh cut bro.

The ANSI standard needs to have a + at the end or else they're worthless. 87.1 means they can withstand x amount of pressure. Then the + means they can withstand x amount of force at speed.

My cousin says the 1 rule of being a paratrooper... But I digress. I don't tactical but I like wearing Wiley X because they're inexpensive and ballistic rated, since I wear sunglasses outside in the daylight near 99% of the time. I also just acquired a pair of Oakley Flak 2.0 which are not MIL or ANSI rated and are just to well...look cool.

Dude, you're really hitting on a lot of great topics!!!

When big army issues you ESS and Revision shit eye pro and ARSOF gets oakleys 😭.

how bout some info on NVG's....thank you for all the great videos!!!! super grateful.

I love my ESSs Crosbows with prescription lenses adapter.

Some advice would be good on which shade should you use depending on the environment, you know, black for sun protection, clear for night ops. Cause there's always "that guy" that takes black shades in the dark. Also, I would like to hear on which cases sould one wear the yellow or the orangish shades. Thanks dad.

yeah man thats pretty chill

I have a set of Oakley M Frame 3.0's and have had them for about 3 years now and wear them just about everyday. They're great under over the ear hearing pro, the brow can sometimes get pushed against your forehead and contain the sweat but it's not very often. The only thing I hated was that little clip that holds the lense to the frames, it broke about 6 months ago or so and I doubt I can get a replacement of just that part. I was looking to replace them with the new M Frame Alphas soon though. Other than that stupid little lense clip thing, (Which has been eliminated on the Alphas) they work amazingly well. That and they look pretty cool and that's what matters the most.

Bollé Tactical.. I use their Raiders and X810 .. Unlike other brands I've used over the years, Bollé is the only one that doesn't fog up.

ESS Ice naro's have worked pretty well for me... As they're pretty much the only one that are not too big for my face.

Video on what type of flannels to buy plz

In my day you got issued eye lids and on rare occasions amplivox hearing protection

ESS Crossbow all day every day, I digress.

I like my Oakley Radar Range glasses with the PRIZM TR45 colored lenses.

Since I need prescription lenses,I use Oakley Half Jackets. XLJ lens over the standard lens. Polarized too.

Thank you so much for the fantastic service.

Got multiple free ESS. Happy wit um.

I'm a chick and I love your videos, content, and I'm a firearm enthusiast! 😉
