I've started wearing safety glasses for weight and band workouts.

I should have been doing this for years. After I read somewhere here that even the good quality resistance bands (BodyLastics) I have have been know to snap, I picked up some safety glasses (NoCry).

Bear in mind that they will fog up, no matter what the description says.

Does anyone else wear safety glasses for weight and/or resistance band work?

Good idea Vintage VFer! My regular glasses, are my safety glasses. My parents started us getting our prescription glasses made out of safety glasses when we were kids, as we were doing a lot of downhill skiing. I never thought of how they could help me working out now.

I wonder what divers use...wonder if that would work with the fogging of the lenses.

My dad used to scub dive, though not deep diving. He filled his goggles.with whatever water he was in. He had grown up swimming in the ocean and river deltas so it never bothered his eyes.

Forgot to add that I'm also one who counts on my glasses to be for safety. I've worn them since I was in high school. Came in very handy .more than once when I was a hospital nurse.

I used to use resistance bands at the end of ramping class and we had a lot of them break, but they never snapped back - they would just float down. Not sure why that would be.

I had a resistance band snap on me. I was standing in the middle of the band holding the handles. I was doing squats with biceps curls. The band just fell to the floor. No snapping back at me. I guess it would depend on what exercise you are doing in how it snaps.

Yesterday I was doing some work with a band and so fearful it might snap. Safety glasses are probably a good idea. I need to put them with the band so I actually remember!

I think there is anti fog stuff you can use but I'm not sure how well it works.

I bought a pair two years ago or so, I used it a few times, and I didn't continue using them. I wear glasses the rest of the day, but I usually take them off to workout, specially when I get sweaty, so it felt a bit weird to wear those while working out, also the ones I got are not crystal clear, they seem to have a coat or something. Maybe I should restart. My plan was to use them with resistance bands only.

I wear safety glasses when I use tubing with the handles. I heard those can cause serious damage when they snap. People do lose eyes from such accidents.
