    Safety frames

    I'm looking for a somewhat "trendy" safety eye wear line. Our office currently carries Titmus. While their styles are suitable for most patients, our younger crowd is looking for trendier styles, colors..etc. Anyone know of a quality "trendy" safety line? We service a Navy base with thousands of civilian employees, a Mineral plant and geo-thermal plant, so a good selection is a must!
    Thanks in advance for your feedback. ;)

    Consider Wiley X sunglasses. They have safety-rated frames at a great price point. We sell a lot of them.

    Hudson has a line of smaller b-sized safety frames that sell well here with youth in mind.

    You can't get any cooler or trendy than the Titmus SW06. End of story.

    3m(AO safety) has a nice line that I use called Orange County Choppers, as well as the rest of their safety line. No problem with backorders like Titmus

    We used to do a TON of OnGuard, but since they changed hands, they try to rip you off at every turn. $8 shipping for a pair of side shields? No thanks.

    That attitude drove us right into the waiting arms of Wolverine, which we used to use but were too clunky. They've come a long way, and the new styling is among the best. They'll really work w/you on pricing if you're serious about buying from them.

    I don't miss OG in the slightest.
