Requested 4 different types for our son to try on and loved the convenience. Our son was able to try each pair on with his hockey helmet to see what he preferred. Customer service was amazing and stayed in touch the entire time to see if there were questions. Try on choices shipped and arrived so fast!

Felt tricked
The representative that helped me with the order was nice , but i found out after 1 week that she lie about the frame my daughter liked being available. Felt like she only wanted to close a sale. Now my daughter has a tournament and has no sport glasses.

It was amazing to be able to have my son try on a few different pairs before buying so he knew for sure which ones he liked and what ones fit the best! Thanks so much for this!

Side shields
The side shields come off easily on the High-G model. I had to order more - the 1st time no problem. The 2nd time, i had to send the contact form 2x before I received a reply. The reply: "We don't have available side shields for High G. We can sell the whole frame at a discounted price of $99. 95. " Really?? They have a lifetime guarantee, but don't have replacement parts?? I replied: "That's the best you can do? What do I do with the frame after I remove the side shields, throw it in the landfill- wow, that's really showing how little RecSpecs cares about the environment. " Joseph replied: "Let me check again with our warehouse and will get back to you. " That was 10/1/25, haven't heard back. Very dissapointed. Don't recommend RecSpecs

A REAL Warranty and GREAT prices; what more could you want?
I rarely write reviews, and am doing this only because I’m so pleased with the outstanding service I received from Optics Outfitters. About a year ago, I purchased two pair of Rx Rec Spec goggle/glasses. I’m a pediatric dentist by trade and find myself in crazy positions trying to fix young kids teeth, to the goggle straps are a must. Love the Velocity style, so I got two pair last summer that had progressive lenses, with transitions, anti glare coating etc. Costly because of the lenses more than the frames. About two weeks ago the pair I wear more often started to have an issue with the latex rubber separating from the plastic on the frame. Not awful, but enough to be annoying. I could have purchased a new frame, but recalled the lifetime warranty optics outfitters included with the purchase of their frames. Obviously the lenses aren’t part of the warranty, I would never expect that. So I removed the lenses from the frames, took two or three photos of the broken silicone and sent an email to customer service which included my original order number. I was contacted the next day, which was Tuesday, and today, Thursday the new frames were delivered to my home. Opened the package, brand new at zero cost. No shipping, no handling, no hidden charges. Just wow. Thank you Optics Outfitters. I’ll be back again and again.

Incomplete order - RecSpecs never followed through on promises
I ordered 2 pairs of glasses for my son to wear during his high school basketball activities. Although I considered other companies, I ultimately chose RecSpecs due to the option to try on frames at home, which is a legitimately nice option. I ordered and paid for 2 pairs of the exact same glasses (same frame, same finish, same prescription - literally identical glasses). After a few weeks, I received one of the two pairs. For a month since that first pair was received, I have been spending several (2-10) hours every week trying to get the 2nd order shipped to me. For over a month, I have been made promise after promise by multiple RecSpec staff members, none of which were followed through on. Example: for the last 2 weeks, I've had multiple RecSpec staff tell me the (2nd pair of) glasses were complete and would be shipped to me using overnight air shipping and that I would get a shipping number to track the order/shipment that day (some staff said they would not go home that day until making sure I got the tracking link). I have never received the 2nd pair nor a tracking number or any kind of follow-up from any staff member who committed to anything. I'm shocked at how poorly the communication is within the company (eg: I kept better notes of who said what and when than they had internally). I'm shocked at how little this company cares about trying to fulfill an order fully paid for!! (If anyone from RecSpecs reads this review, I'm referencing order #95921)

Awesome idea
I had a good idea of which ones I wanted but had a couple I also wondered about. Turns out I would have made the wrong choice if it wasn't for the try on option. Ordered my new frames the same day.

Worst Customer Service of all time
Placed my order on 08/17 and submit prescription that day. Waited a week and emailed customer support on status. Come to find out they emailed me no phone call or voicemail saying they needed another distance number. I provided that and after a week called and was told I would get an update and text about status which never came. I called back on and said if I don't get an update by end of day I would cancel the order. They at least finally left a voicemail and said my order would arrive by Thursday. Its now Tuesday and still no confirmation that order has actually shipped. $230 for sports goggles and its now been almost a month since I placed an order what joke.

Saved the Day
Playing at the kitchen line today, a hard drive was heading for me when it clipped the net and jumped up into my face. My glasses took a direct shot in the exact center of the left lens. Not hurt, no harm. But it could have been brutal. So thankful for the quality glasses I got from you…. . incredible thanks!!!!

Still waiting
I chose this company because of the advertised turn around time being a short time. Distance only lenses, nothing fancy. I’m still waiting. Missed an important opportunity to wear them. I finally got a response from customer service after several days. They checked in my order. Still in production, they said they need a few more days . Never again.

AMAZING Eye protection!!!
I purchased my first pair of Rec Specs in 1986 when I was diagnosed with myopia. I saw these prescription sports goggles in a small campus optical store at the University of Kentucky, and I knew that I was going to need a safe alternative to my wire frame glasses. I was a very competitive softball player in the 1980s, and I wanted to ensure that my eyewear would stay in place if I dove for a fly ball or slid into a base. I thought if Eric Dickerson trusted Rec Specs, then the product was good enough for me. Padded nose piece, as well as padded temple guards gave me the confidence to play hard with no fear of injury to my face. I had my plastic prescription lenses installed in one day, and I was ready to play ball. The elastic stretch band kept my Rec Specs secure. I highly recommend these sports goggles for any athlete needing safe and effective eyewear. . . 🤓⚾⚽🥎🏀🏐🏈✌️👍💪

Home Try-On--Super Simple!
The "Home Try-On" option really caught my attention. Normally I wouldn't bother to use a service like this. However, I went ahead and ordered the kit. The charge for delivery was just $1. 95. In the back of my head I was thinking that I would eventually get a "missed the fine print" surcharge. That did not happen. I received the kit within about five days of ordering, I tried each pair and luckily found a pair of frames that I liked. I placed an order the next day for the frame I had chose, including a prescription lens fitting. The kit came with a self addressed large envelope for the kit to be returned. I received an email from a sales representative within 24 hours of ordering online. They requested more information for my prescription--the pupillary distance. The original prescription did not include this measurement. After a brief conversation the sales representative pointed me to an app on PlayStore that makes that measurement easy to take at home. I was finished in 5 minutes and emailed and texted the measurement. Super Simple!

Sadly a Very Negative Experience
We ordered my son's glasses, provided all requested information, and sent in his vision prescription recently obtained from our local eye doctor. We waited for 2. 5 weeks for them to arrive. My son was so excited to get them to wear during his upcoming hockey and baseball games. However, the glasses received from RecSpecs contained ZERO prescription. When I called I was informed they failed to put his Rx in the lens. So the sports glasses were useless. He was so very disappointed and now we wait for their lab to try to get it right a 2nd time. . .

Awesome customer service
Got a pair of their glasses from my optometrist, however, no strap was included and I was told they didn’t have any. So I reached out the company directly as I could not find the strap for the glasses on the website. In less than 48hrs, got an e-mail back with options to choose from. Made my choice gave some information and bam! Order done and parts on their way! Everything done in less than 3 days! Would have been 2 if I checked my e-mail sooner. Even without the strap, luv the glasses! Took for a spin on the bike and they are great and don’t gender my view as much as my old pair I was using.

great process
Ordering online was simple and easy. Customer service was great and got back to me when I was missing something. We will definitely be back. Less expensive than dealing with a optical stro.

Absolutely love
Outfitter Team, I received my prescription sport safety eyewear and have put them to the test on the court. I am a racquetball and pickleball player and instructor and chose the single vision prescription lenses that are frameless on the bottom (Impact Carbon Black Narrow). I absolutely love them. They are just perfect! They fit my face, stay on even when sweaty and running, don’t fog up, are very sturdy, and… look great! And, the case is very nice too😉. Thank you for providing such a great product!

Ordered second pair
Bought the impact frame narrow for pickleball. They feel great. RX right on . So I ordered sunglasses. Same frame, different color. Progressive lenses for every day use. . Questions are answered by real people which is incredibly reassuring. This company is great.
