Only safety glasses I've found that will actually keep crap out of my eyes and not fog up are the Jackson Nemesis. I like 'em better than any goggles I've ever had. I use a Shade 5 for torch cutting and a clear for most grinding and all is well. I've spent 3 times as much on a vaunted pair of shooting glasses and had 'em fog up in the middle of my CHL re-qual. The target disappeared, and a 3-shot timed string drooped off toward 7:30. Shot a 247 instead of a perfect 250. That's a pisser. Next time I"ll just shoot with the clear Nemesis.
Anyway, spent about 4 and a half hours on the torch this morning on a friend's project and the Nemesis never even hinted at a fog-up with about 85% humidity. YMMV, but they work better for me than any goggles.

@LDB
Thanks for the suggestion , but I've given up on glasses. Much of the grinding I do use air tools ( with front exhaust ) and into " blind " area, so I need 100% cover.

I can give my recommendation to the Jackson Nemesis glasses as well.
I use the shade 3 and 5 ones with oxy-fuel work at home, and bought a pair of clear ones to use at work since they were expecting us to use the ancient and scratched up large glasses.
My employer saw them and bought a set for all the techs that didn't need something that went over prescription eye glasses.

Same here! Any time I'm grinding, drilling, or doing anything where something could potentially fly at my face, I have the jackson nemesis glasses on. I have about 10 pairs, I've opened 4 pairs or so, and I just have them laying all around the garage, so that I don't ever not use them because "I don't want to go find them right now for something real quick"
