Goggles are described as including an outrigger, an elastic band, and one or more cages. The elastic band is coupled to the cage, which may then be disposed within an opening of the outrigger. Thus, the elastic band may be coupled to the outrigger and, accordingly, to the goggle frame, through the cage. Such a configuration may allow for the elastic band to have a stronger and more compact coupling to the outrigger and/or goggle frame. The cage may comprise metal or another material stronger than the material of the goggle frame and/or the outrigger. Furthermore, the cage may be more compact (e.g., narrower) than a typical connection while maintaining or improving strength.

A protective helmet includes a liner configured to absorb energy from an impact, and a plurality of rotation-effects-mitigating pads coupled to an inner wall of the liner, such that the rotation-effects-mitigating pads are configured to contact the head of a user when the helmet is worn. The rotation-effects-mitigating pads are configured to facilitate rotation (e.g., slip) of the helmet relative to a user's head in response to an oblique impact. In some examples, the rotation-effects-mitigating pads comprise gas-filled bladders and/or pellet-containing bladders. In some examples, the-rotation-effects-mitigating pads are vented to atmosphere to facilitate the pads adapting to changes in pressure as a result of changes in altitude.

A prescription lens insert and methods of use are described, in which flexing a frame of a prescription lens insert, such that left and right rims of the frame are displaced mediolaterally, aligns respective larger ends of two keyhole apertures of the frame with left and right mushroom-shaped connector pegs protruding rearward from a pair of protective glasses. The prescription lens insert is then placed over the left and right connector pegs, such that distal heads of the connector pegs pass through the two keyhole apertures of the frame and the keyhole apertures are disposed adjacent shaft portions of the connector pegs. The frame of the prescription lens insert is then unflexed to align respective smaller ends of the two keyhole apertures with the left and right connector pegs, such that the distal heads prevent removal of the unflexed frame.

Eyewear of the present disclosure may include a frame having left and right rims, and a central bridge portion coupling the left rim to the right rim. A lens retainer has a first end pivotably coupled to an upper member of the central bridge portion and a second end releasably latched to a lower member of the central bridge portion. A lens is disposed on a front side of the eyewear frame and clamped to the frame by the lens retainer.
