A friend has Pillas and Xsight, but only uses the Xsight now.I will get around to getting a new pair soon.
We all know that Pilla Outlaws are fantastic but are expensive.
Has anyone tried (and got opinions) on Xsight, Re Rangers, maybe the Pilla 580s?
They're the ones that fall off my nose. My small head rather than a fault with the glasses.A couple of the guys I shoot with have gone for the Zeiss ZS Sport glasses, and really rate them.
I took Will's advice a couple of years ago, I bought a pair of Ultradrive glasses after upgrading my normal specs. Specsaver allow another pair at half price so I got them for about £55 (frame and distance prescription,) not bad eh? I also use them for driving when conditions are bright although they are not sun glasses as such. They are designed to increase contrast which is just what we shooters need.Specsavers. Sunglass frames with adjustable nose pieces. Ultradrive yellow lenses / brown lenses. Save a fortune. Just saying, again..
I have used the XSight range of shooting glasses. the lenses are quite thick but overall they are very comfortable. Go for the lighter coloured lenses as the dark ones are VERY dark!I will get around to getting a new pair soon.

Great advice about try before you buy. If you try the Pillas, don't fall for the 'look at that orange clay over there, it makes it pop out'… Most clays in the UK are black!Have had both and would opt for Rangers all day long. I have to have inserts for my prescription and had the Rangers with about 6 lenses. They were dead easy to clip in and the insert was glass and never moved and the picture was excellent. During lockdown I got suckered into buying a set of Pillars with the insert. Sold my rangers on flea bay as easy as anything. The inserts with the Pillars are plastic, clarity and sharpness nowhere near as good as the Rangers. I ended up selling the Pillars and having 2 lenses made with my prescription from Rangers which I’m extremely pleased with.
Hubby has the Pillars with the insert and they keep steaming up whilst shooting which is driving him mad, I’m due for another eye test soon and I’m thinking if it’s changed it’s another set so we are both seriously thinking of having laser surgery maybe towards end of year when we normally take a bit of a break (well he is deffo having it, I’m a wuss when it comes to eyes but seriously considering it). He can then just have his Pillars with no insert and I will just get the Rangers again.
Your preference of course and we all have different opinions but I hear so many shooters moaning about the Pillars but never hear anyone moan about any other glasses . Try before you buy is my advice and don’t rush into anything. Good luck.
Let me know where you shoot, I'm fed up with orange clays being thrown against a light blue sky everywhere I go!Great advice about try before you buy. If you try the Pillas, don't fall for the 'look at that orange clay over there, it makes it pop out'… Most clays in the UK are black!
Have you got a link to these Will, as I can't find them on Specsavers, no pun and my eyes are not that badSpecsavers. Sunglass frames with adjustable nose pieces. Ultradrive yellow lenses / brown lenses. Save a fortune. Just saying, again..
No link.. Weirdly I was in Specsavers today as my normal glasses broke. (Silly light frames).Have you got a link to these Will, as I can't find them on Specsavers, no pun and my eyes are not that bad
Where's this then. Never seen black clays around here (North East)?Great advice about try before you buy. If you try the Pillas, don't fall for the 'look at that orange clay over there, it makes it pop out'… Most clays in the UK are black!
