Ideal Material for Sports Eyeglasses
I’ve recently been looking for prescription sports eye wear, and I’ve read up on some of the materials used to manufacture the frame. The question is, in the list below, pick three of the materials that would be MOST suitable for baseball/competitive shooting? Rank your three choices.
Carbon fiber graphite (CFG)
Copolyamide (MXP7)
Flexon7
Titanium Ti-227
Kevlar
Nylon
Polycarbonate
Aluminum
Stainless steel
Trilam
Brief descriptions of the above materials: http://www.visionrx.com/library/enc/enc_eyeframes.asp
Just reading the ‘headline’ of your question and without knowing you had a list, my first thought was polycarbonate.
So… based on bits and pieces of related information I have accumulated in my head over the past decade, here’s my top 3:
1. Polycarbonate
2. Carbon fiber graphite
3.(tie) Titanium / Flexon
