It depends on the setting.
I have a pair of these I use for cycling and working outdoors.

Fellow owners mention looking like Riddick in the comments.
About $6 on Amazon, I think they're about $4 in a box store, and free from some employers..
They look a little goofy in that picture but trust me, at a glance they look as fine as any other black wrap arounds. I own and use these several times a week. I can also confirm their ability to take a beating.
K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple, Stupid. Words to live by!
Gloves. Just your standard Nitrile gloves. I have a box in my closet with about 5 pair in my truck. Although with Texas summers here, I'd bet they've melted together by now. I should really check on that...
Safety Glasses Any brand will do. Just look for ANSI Z87.1. You'll probably never use them, or 90% of what's in your bag, but they're nice to have on hand.
Knife w/seat belt cutter & window punch. This is mine. I keep it on my trucks visor when I'm driving, and on me when I'm not. Cheap and useful. A little big though.
Simple Breathing mask. Always good to have around.
Gauze Rolls & Gauze Pads. I've used these a couple times, all on myself. I have the uncanny ability to fall when running outdoors. It's truly a gift.
Large SAM Splint. Surprisingly I've used two in only a year of building my kit. Once for myself, colles fracture from tripping, and the second time for a friend who slipped in my kitchen. We're not the most coordinated bunch.
And if you're feeling adventuress (sp?), Emergency Blanket, Cold Pack, & a Hot Pack. These aren't necessary, but nice to have if you have some extra $$$ to burn.
This is all i carry in my truck medical wise. It's also a good idea to have a flashlight on your vehicle or in the bag. Don't waste money on anything "fancy". You'll never use them and if you do you'll probably get sued.
I received a pre-stocked jump bag from a family member as a gift for getting my EMT cert. Came with OPA's, C-Collar, Adult/Pedi BVM, & a couple suture kits. These are no-no's. Good Samaritan laws won't protect you if you use these. DON'T BUY/USE THEM WHEN NOT ON A RIG! (The suture kits are another matter...just don't) I took these out of my bag completely.
TL;DR K.I.S.S. Avoid anything a non-EMS person couldn't use.
EDIT: Formatting
Pipeliner welding hood
Tillman 850 welding gloves I highly recommend these gloves. The palm is unlined so you have plenty of dexterity to stick, mig, or tig with. The back is insulated to protect you from burning to a crisp.
Wrangler work shirts (get a few of them) I wear these shirts every day for work. Depending on your budget, you may not be able to get a few of these versus one decent welding jacket. If that's the case, I recommend a heavyweight denim jacket or the basic FR green welding jacket.
Safety glasses (get a few of these, as well as a dark pair for cutting)
Steel or composite toe work boots. I'm not going to recommend a pair... everyone is different. I do prefer Carolina boots and Thorogoods, though.
Ear plugs... can be bought at Lowes or any supply store.
That's your basic safety list. You won't need much more than that for school. Hopefully for you, they will provide tools. Otherwise this is a basic list for a welder's bucket:
2 crescent wrenches, 12" (or spud wrench)
Welpers
Chipping hammer
25' tape measure
Torpedo level
Combo or speed square
Vice grips
Channel locks
1 half round bastard file
1 flat file
2 wire brushes (one for carbon, one for stainless)
4.5" angle grinder (or 6" if you want)
Die grinder (optional)
This is, honestly, all you will ever need as a welder. If you end up with a job that does other mechanical shit, you will need more tools like a set of wrenches, ratchet and sockets, various clamps, etc.
I usually work for bigger contractors that will supply all the power tools and typically have a gang box of hand tools that supplies what I don't have or don't want to bring. When I go to work, I bring my 5 gallon bucket (for a seat mostly), and a canvas backpack. In the bucket is that list above. I put shit I need in the canvas bag if I'm going to be moving around between joints so I don't have to lug around a heavy bucket. At any given time there are only a few main tools in my bag. A chipping hammer, a wire brush, a file, a level, combo square, a 4lb hammer, flashlight, and my tungsten holder. It's all you will ever really need if you're just welding.
You can get it all off Amazon or if you want you can buy them from these guys.

Hello MG!
First time grower here in flowering stage. Many growers may never even consider eye wear, myself included; however, after maintaining my plants under the HID bulbs in both veg and flower I've noticed some eye strain.
It wasn't really a big deal at first, but once I switched my bulb to HPS for flowering I noticed my eyes really hurting or even headaches after a while of plant training under the lights.
I did some research and decided to buy a pair of protective eye glasses. I cannot even explain how awesome it feels to have a pair of these. I work with computers almost 24/7/365, so reducing any eye strain is a HUGE advantage for me. Pictures don't even do it justice, you can see clearly with no strain on the muscles in your eyes and no squinting either :).
I highly recommend them if you're interested, check them out here!
WA state medical patient with RA and wanting to do a real grow for almost a decade. Helped a few friends with their grows and trim sessions over the years and also attempted a few outdoor hidden grows with little success (bad weather, theft, pests/animals). Finally decided to save up and do it properly now that I have space indoors. I have been lurking /r/microgrowery for over a year now and have learned a lot and want to thank you all for everything you do. I also want to thank the YouTubers Growing With Mr.Tight, JustinTime2Grow, and medgrower1 for also being excellent resources. Now onto the details:
 
    Equipment
Gorilla Grow Tent 4x4
2x 600w MH / HPS lights for a total of 1200w. 75w per sq. ft.
400 CPM 6in In-Line Fan
Phresh Filter 400 CFM
Hygrometer
TDS Meter
Infrared Thermometer
Grow Room Glasses
 
    Plants
Blue Dream - DJ Short x Santa Cruz Haze. 80% Sativa / 20% Indica. 7-8 week flower cycle
Boy Scout Cookies - Girl Scout Cookies Thin Mint x Pre-98 Bubba Kush. 60% Indica / 40% Sativa. 8 week flower cycle.
Darth Vader Haze - 4-way Black Haze Black Cross. 100% Sativa. 9-10 week flower cycle.
Grand Daddy Purple - Big Bud x Purple Urkle. Indicia Dominant. 8-9 week flower cycle.
 
    Grow Medium and Feed
5 gal Smart Pots
Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil
Fox Farm Trio
18-6 Lighting cycle for veg. full 1200w of MH.
Using tap water and PH Down (is around 8.0 right out of the tap). I let the water sit for at least a few hours to let any chemicals leech out into the air and bring it closer to room temp.
 
The GDP went in almost a full day later. It was a younger clone and I was worried about the transplanting shocking it, but turned out fine. One of my MH bulbs had bits of broken glass in the outer part and didn't work so I had to wait on a replacement arrived on day 6. Also I ordered the wrong size Phresh filter and am waiting for the refund to process so I can get the right size. Temps have been hovering around 80F ambient with the lights on and 40% RH.
Temp minimum during dark cycle is 68-70F and humidity maxed out around 85% RH.
First watering with nutrients will be as soon as the soil dries a bit more (still damp at knuckle deep). Will be doing a half strength of the Big Bloom for the first feed likely tomorrow morning an hour or so after the lights kick on.
I eventually want to get an 8x4 to use as a flower tent and have the 4x4 as a veg tent to set up a perpetual grow. I am also seriously looking at the GrowBlu lights for veg when I do this, the results I am seeing from the guys on YouTube using them just looks amazing. I also want to switch over to en Ebb and Flow type system instead of soil when I do that, but that is something I need to look into much more.
I would still consider some basic eye protection just in case a ricochet, doesn't need to be full seal so even some inexpensive shooting glasses (which aren't allowed at fields so you could consider something field-able if you ever want to play)

If I ever got a flair here I'm sure it would be overly sensitive about eye protection guy, so feel free to take what I say with that in mind, but you only have one set in my mind.
These are, for less than $9
It's basically impossible to find the NASA approved brands from the actual manufacturer on Amazon, but Lunt Solar Systems uses one of the NASA manufacturers and rebrands them, and they are available here.
I'm a googles man too, I feel they're more protective than normal safety glasses. But I when I can't use them Something like these are my go to. I usually use re usable rubbery ear plugs when outside, I double up with my lawn mowing ear muffs for an indoor range.
I've got a reversible balaclava, bright orange on one side and grey on the other. Army surplus trigger mittens are the best.
Honestly I use a pair of nemesis tinted safety glasses I get from work. https://www.amazon.com/Jackson-Nemesis-3020121-Safety-Glasses/dp/B002JG55BW
I think these are the things he used to keep his glasses from sliding. https://www.amazon.com/MOLDERP-Eyeglasses-Anti-Slip-Retainers-Sunglasses/dp/B07B6K9SZQ/
I'd never seen those before, but they look really useful. There are lots of different brands.
Bolle labspecs are sweet and cheap IMO. I have these ones and they're just great!
Jackson/Kimberly Clark make a version of these safety glasses called elements. The are under $2 each at most welding supply stores. Or to can buy a box off Amazon. Link
They have a couple other versions of inexpensive safety glasses. My favorites are the Nemesis and hell raisers.

*I think this is a bad price. They should be closer to $6 from other dealers
Get a nerd strap or a set of ear hooks: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FH7WDL9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_nssvDbW1522CT
$100 in defensive ammo? It's a Glock, what do they need $100 worth of defensive ammo for? $50 in eye and ear protection? These $10 eyeglasses are fine for eye protection and they could buy like fifty earplugs for $5 at Walmart. Here is 1000 rounds of 9mm steel cased doge meme ammo for $152. I agree that more classes are important, but they're on a budget here.
I mean the price point is just me being nitpicky. My larger point is that it's more important to get a gun now at least for home defense. At that point they're almost halfway to carrying. If they had to save up all $1500 for gun + accessories before even considering buying a gun, then it might just never happen.
It's a pair of Pyramex I-Force goggles

Bought mine last week.
Depends on what you're going for. If you want it to look like the comics, see KirbyW's comment. But if you want it to be 'realistic', I recommend something like this over a black turtleneck, with the proper blue (or red for current continuity, I guess) paint applied. For the pants, slim-fit cargos with shin guards, perhaps?
The mask is pretty easy, 'night mask', or if you want realism, maybe tactical goggles.
"Ninja" stuff might also be a nice touch (grappling hook, throwing knives etc.)
His traditional weapon is 2 eskrima sticks (buy a dowel rod from Hobby Lobby, cut it in half, paint), but collapsible batons could be an interesting alternative.
edit: added a link for goggles.
edit 2: added links for shin guards and knives.
I just got these and now they don't slip around anymore! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B6K9SZQ
I wear them all the time, not just for exercise. They still bounce up and down a tiny bit, but they can't slide down.
I can't see a few feet ahead of me without them, so going without wasn't really possible
I use these ones, has two little black tabs you pull and it tightens the glasses down all the way to your head. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GJ2WKG8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_POT3DbBAF4PK1

I've used these cheap OTG's for 3 burns over some very large sunglasses with no problem.
These meet both standards, right?

Safety glasses! Your eyes deserve them.
I wonder why nobody knows about these (probably because vtac took em and slapped their name on it)
Pyramex V2G
Pyramex I-Force
Pyramex Highlander
I own these, highlanders, and I-forces. None of them fog, ever. If I had a million dollars for every time these fogged on me, I'd still be broke as fuck.
Don't waste your money on ESS's and Revisions. The prices on these bad boys are unbeatable.
THIS. I just ordered these combined with nose pads for my glasses and I think it’s going to work wonders!!!! amazon no slip glasses hook
These sunglasses.
They are super rad and amazing for cycling. They have rubber inserts that make them SQUISH to your face so that you don't get bugs up in your eyeballs when you're riding. My ex had a pair that I would borrow on the regular, but, um, now we're divorced, so my access to these sunglasses is more than a tad restricted.
I'd be okay with it, but, um, I'd like them. Maybe for Christmas if my boyfriend notices that I'd like them or some such.
Lucky in the Sky with Diamonds
Yes, if I don't use them my eyes have purple spots all over them after I walk away from the tent. If I use normal sunglasses the colors are all wrong. I use these, the color correction isn't perfect, but they are only $15:

Try Uvex. They look a bit like snowboarding goggles, and the nose guard is a flexible plastic that shouldn't dig into you. The difference between my pair and whatever the gen chem labs supplies is night and day honestly.
My current pair
I wear this under the mask
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000QRMR1M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_-X7AybNAJ3T49
I have this, rarely use it but it is worth it when you really need it.
I just ordered these, which have good reviews. Hopefully they're awesome.
I ride with simple safety glasses. They aren’t sealed to your face but it’s a much tighter fit than sunglasses. They’re also cheap and designed to protect against stuff flying into your face.
These are only a few bucks, will probably last you a year or more and come in tinted variants.
The only time I don’t have these are sometimes in the rain (when I take them off) and sometimes if it gets below ~10-15F I’ll wear something else.
I also wear them all day at work, they’re super comfortable.
For on the bike I use wiley-X, they're like $20 on amazon (keep an eye on the price) and come with a head strap as well. You can order polarized lenses if you want. I typically wear Maui Jim for everything else, but don't want them flying off my head.

Ok because I need some new low profile protection and I really liked the I force, but I want the "glasses" one and not the strap version. Using this outdoor so a bit of darkness would be perfect. Is the grey the same as [indoor/outdoor] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006WPSF72/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza?th=1) but instead of a strap?
Something like these .
After about 25 years of not owning anything except a bolt-action rifle and a breach-loading shotgun, I jumped into the AR-15 world nearly two years ago, and now I'm well-and-truly hooked. I'm still a huge nub, so don't take my advice too seriously.
There's a lot to learn just in one platform. But, don't let that keep you from getting both an AR and an AK.
Learning AKs feels overwhelming for completely different reasons than ARs. That said, I am always impressed with how well my AK performs, and how comfortable it is to shoot.
If you haven't already, head over to /r/ak47 and check out the buyer's guide so you don't make a big mistake early on. The oft recommended WASR 10 is considered the best starter AK for the money. Lurk /r/gundeals for a shot at getting one on sale; they've been seen for less than $550 recently which is better than they were pre-election.
I do have to caution you: Accessories and customization for an AK is a completely different game than ARs. You might find that your "cheap plinker" rifle ends up costing you more to trick out, resulting in the same net cost-of-ownership as an AR shooting slightly more expensive ammo. If you end up happy with a stock AK, though, it's a great investment, and a welcome break from sending .22 cal downrange.
All that said, I think if you're picking a semi-auto purely on the basis of budget and having fun hitting targets, this is what I would highly recommend (after wasting a lot of money on stuff I didn't like):
This is all you need. Just have fun. You'll quickly discover what you like/dislike, and be more informed about upgrades and accessories.
Edit: Fixed a link.
I've been using Howard Leight glasses the last two years. They're cheap, but I've never had problems with them fogging up.
Here they are on Amazon
I and a few friends have these with a combo of a metal mesh facemask, and we have no problem with them fogging up.
> Wow, once I saw this book was banned here in the U.S., I had to get it just to see why and, wow. The author has brought up things that men hardly think about in relation to the women in their lives. Of course any feminist-minded female or puzzy whipped male would disagree due to their personal experiences or beliefs, but Chinweizu has very, very valid and strong points that readers of both sexes have to consider if they are honest about themselves and the environment we live in. After all, you have to wonder why this little book was banned and by whom. I'll leave you with one of the quotes form the book, "Men may rule the world, but women rule the men that rule the world"...and that was before feminism.
Enjoy.
Hi, hardware solution could be glasses that turn black when flashed such as automatic welding glasses .
I do not know what light threshold they need. Use a lux meter app to measure the flash bang lux and then ask the producer if the mask activate with that Lux value (If you use that you can also increase the brightnes ofyour screen to increase the flashbang lux to trigger the google if the activation threshold is just not met). Maybe they can even change the settings of that googles. But be aware the luxmeter apps are not that precise. (German) Test showed that the iPhone 5 in combination with LightMeter by whitegoods show only 3% derivation from the refference light source.

> The article you linked... doesn't support what I think you're saying?
Yes I know it doesn't support what I'm saying!! Jesus, how can you misread me so badly?? I was saying, 'this is probably the sort of thing you support!' Feminists who are against the movement for genital autonomy! I'm an intactivist, that means I am in favour of genital integrity for all. Contrasted with people like you and the feminist professor I linked who believe that the "religious reasons for men’s “mutilation” are fundamentally different from the arguments that drive the wounding of women", and so on.
> The third paragraph of the wikipedia article you linked... also says the exact opposite of what you're saying, that it is about control of women's sexuality
How is that "the exact opposite of what you're saying"? Where did I claim that FGM is not about control of women's sexuality?? Just because you don't accept that it is a form of 'patriarchal oppression' does not mean that it is not about control of women's sexuality; these things do not necessarily follow. Hell, if you read the masculist book Anatomy of female power he says it is done to reduce women's sex drive thus giving them more 'bargaining power' in relationships and marriage, i.e. less sex drive => less desire to get married => more ability to get material rewards for men in return for marriage. Not that I 100% accept that to be true, but it is a theory that is arguably to do with control of women's sexuality in a gynocentric social setting, not patriarchal.
> Cutting of foreskin is not as bad as cutting off a clitoris or sewing a vagina mostly shut
lol, you just picked those out of the several forms of FGM for what reason exactly? There are several more types of FGM than that, and you clearly know it, because you mentioned "type 1A" above.
> FGM is worse
MGM is more widely practised. What is done in your country; is FGM done much there?
> ...and shouldn't be minimized by equivocating it with circumcision
How is it "minimizing" it?? You just said you think it's "indefensible" yet you say to compare male and female circumcision to downplaying the former. I could link you videos and images of MGM that would make you sick to your stomach, and articles of kids that have fucking died; how you can possibly think it is 'minimizing' FGM to relate the two I have no idea.
See http://blog.practicalethics.ox.ac.uk/2014/02/female-genital-mutilation-and-male-circumcision-time-to-confront-the-double-standard/ Long, but worth reading in full, if you are really committed to learning about this stuff. That is from Brian D. Earp, an Oxford University, England (one the world's top unis.) Research Associate, BTW.
At the end of the day it the exact same people and organisations who can and should be campaigning against both simultaneously, (World Health Organisation, United nations, Save the Children, etc.), but people like you keep trying to keep the spotlight on girls and women, I'm guessing for paternalistic and chivalrous reasons.
thanks for the reply. glasses underneath are not really an option unless they auto-dim. These, Servore Auto Shade Darkening Welding Goggle Arc-513 looked really impressive, but are going to be too big to fit under our helmets
I switched to these from ESS NVGs, and there is no fogging at all. I love how low profile they are, and that + a mesh mask covers my entire face. It is also very easy to aim down the sights.
Smith and Wesson always worked well for me. I prefer the wrap-around shop-style when shooting anything I'm even mildly concerned about. I've also got a bunch of this style in my range bag for loaners, along with some inexpensive ear pro, both of which will fit over prescription glasses.
You can also go for the dork gold with the goggle-style safety glasses, like this, which will help keep stuff from fogging and slipping around. Or, alternately, snowboard / skiing goggles. I'll confess to having rocked ski goggles and a ski mask during one particularly freeze-my-balls-off coyote hunt in the snow.
3m safety glasses, clear and dark https://www.amazon.com/3M-11328-Virtua-Safety-Glasses/dp/B0006PJHLM
I have had sun sensitivity since I was a kid. Just going outside without sunglasses gives me a headache.
Cheap black safety glasses.
My husband gets them from his work for me, but these are pretty close. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006PJHM6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_njreAb510KAKM
I've always used sunglasses with a clear visor. I'm in the US, Florida specifically, and at night here it's illegal to have sunglasses or tinted visors on while riding. So you have to change out the visor if it's tinted. That was my reason for not getting a tinted visor.
My one tip on sunglasses is this: only certain sunglasses will work well. Anything with a sports grip is going to suck. They're hard to put on and hard to take off. Like pushing a vice clap onto your head. I use these, they're far from the best but they're small, light, and get the job done. They're incredibly cheap and they feel it. I got mine from the hardware store (Home Depot specifically but I see them in most hardware stores.) I know people with helmets with the drop-down visors and they still wear sunglasses instead of using the drop-down.
