Community noted

Military-spec ballistic goggles from ESS, sold with interchangeable clear and dark lenses, rated to ANSI Z87.1 and MIL-PRF-32432 standards.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

A redditor bought a pair as surplus for $25 for motorcycle riding, noting they meet ANSI/MIL eyewear standards, have good field of view, resist fogging, and get cheap $10 replacement lenses on eBay.

    Eyepro was a sleeper that surprised me. I needed goggles for my riding helmet. I got some green ESS land ops/strikers that included both clear and dark lenses for $25.
