SPRING MEANS LAWN MOWING AND FIX-UP PROJECTS

REMEMBER TO PROTECT YOUR EYES!

Not all glasses are designed solely for a fashion statement or vision correction, some are worn for protection. Safety glasses and goggles provide protection against hazardous vapors, flying debris or against visible and and invisible light or radiation. Those designed with a sunglass type lens allow better vision in bright daylight; different colors of lenses may provide visual acuity discerning different colors, such as a white golf ball against a blue sky or a grassy golf green.

We carry a complete line of DeWalt safety glasses and goggles for most any need. The DeWalt DPG8211 is pictured above. DeWalt Concealer safety goggle provides superior protection from a brand you trust. It has a dual injected yellow rubber seal to provide protection from dust and debris. There is a built-in ventilation channel in the frame to reduce fogging of the lens. The adjustable head strap can be detached with the clip attachment and the clear anti-fog polycarbonate lens is replaceable and provides 100 percent UV 400 protection. Exceeds ANSI Z87.1 standards and R Z87+S is stamped on the lens. Measures 78mm tall and 132mm wide.

GogglesandGlasses.com is located at 480 South Central Avenue and will accept clean plastic peanuts from local residents and retailers and reuse them in their outgoing packages. Gary Richardson, owner and manager of G&G says, “Plastic peanuts provide excellent protection for our shipments and can be reused many times. By joining the Hotline, we are providing our neighbors a convenient way to reuse plastic peanuts and adding to our effort to be a “green retailer” by recycling and helping others in the Batesville area to do so”.
The Peanut Hotline, founded July of 1991, is the Plastic Loose Fill council’s nationwide program for reusing packing peanuts. The Hotline, 800-828-2214 and http://www.loosefillpackaging.com/, is a 24-hour, toll-free directory service for consumers to learn which local businesses accept plastic peanuts for reuse. Most sites are typically small packaging or gift shops. They welcome the free packaging material, the customer referrals, and the chance to reduce waste and help the environment.
Most people who use the Hotline learn about it with a mail-order purchase. Over 200 catalog companies use package inserts printed with Peanut Hotline information, to include GogglesandGlasses.com. Nationwide, Hotline collection centers report that the Hotline is popular in their communities because residents appreciate how reuse contributes to environmental savings.

Kroop’s Original Racing and Skydiving Goggle Brown Clear





The original racing goggle used by jocks worldwide since it was invented in 1947. Made with a proprietary high clarity flexible lens, stitched edging and solid brass vents. Don't be seen in the Winners Circle in anything less than Israel Kroop's Original. Since 1947 Kroop’s has been the market leader in horse racing goggles. Nearly every winner of every major race including the Kentucky Derby, Royal Ascot, Dubai World Cup, Preakness, Belmont Stakes, Breeders' Cup, has worn our goggles to victory. Continue The Winning Tradition. They are also perfect for skydiving. These original racing goggles feature brown edging and a clear lens, along with a wide adjustable headband. Measures 72mm tall and 177mm wide.


In the early 1940's a boot maker named Israel Kroop was asked by a local jockey to develop an alternative to the bulky and heavy motorcycle goggles worn at the time. Being highly creative and good with his hands Kroop designed a cutting edge goggle both slim and lightweight with outstanding peripheral vision and optical clarity. The design was quickly adopted by jockeys throughout the country. Early goggles were cut and sewn by hand taking considerable time and leading Kroop away from the boot business he owned with his father and brother. Demand for the goggles grew quickly forcing Kroop to mechanize the process and officially found Kroop's Goggles in 1947. Kroop's original design has proven so effective and timeless it is still worn today by nearly every jockey worldwide.

In the mid 1950's other sports began to adopt the Kroop's goggle. The lightweight design and wind protection it provided made it the perfect choice for many sports. Early parachutists (skydivers) found the design particularly useful. Nicknamed the Boogie Goggle Kroop's original design has become the most widely used skydiving goggle in the world.
Although Israel Kroop died in 1991 his company and designs live on. Kroop's Goggles prides itself on the same product functionality, durability, and value that made it an icon in both the horse racing and skydiving markets. Our goggles can now be found in nearly every corner of the globe on everyone from medivac helicopter personnel to speed boat racers to Kentucky Derby winners.

We're a Favorite Place on Google



Google has identified over 100,000 businesses in the U.S. as "Favorite Places on Google" based on Google users' interaction with local business listings and Goggles and Glasses made the list!

What does this mean you may be thinking - Well, each business is receiving a window decal with a unique QR code that you scan with your phone to read reviews, star the business as your own favorite and more. To the right is an image of the window decal with the QR barcode.

What do you do with the barcode?

This unique bar code on the lower right of the sticker (known as a QR code) lets customers - and potential customers - instantly learn more about a business, by visiting a mobile version of the business' Place Page on any supported phone.

And it also recently introduced a service that lets businesses put coupons in the Local Business Center that smartphone owners can redeem from the screen of their device, rather than having to clip them out of a newspaper circular.

Here is a video showing how it works
