I ALWAYS wear eye protection for safety.
As I've said before, I wear the S&W Mini Magnum which are sized for a youth/woman's face, come in smoke, clear and amber, have excellent optical quality, are ANSI Z87+ shatterproof and UV-blocking since they're polycarbonate, and they're $9 each.
A couple of years ago on TOSRV we were hit by a serious downpour. I was one of the few people who could see anything at all, since I'd remembered to bring my clear glasses.
