Browning makes some good-quality shooting glasses...

I typically use the same DeWalt safety glasses that I use at work for shooting. Take a look at the DeWalt Contractor Pro series. IIRC, they're UV protective and will hold up tremendously well. I had a 1/2" drill bit shatter at work one day and pieces came flying back at my face. My entire face was bloody and cut, but barely more than a scratch on teh glasses. Thank God I wear them every time. They use me as an example during PPE training. Even when you're doing everything right, crap happens and your PPE could be the only thing to keep you from going blind.
