Magnum is sensible for all-round use, hunting, range, vehicle, and users who don't want shield glasses. It is less sensible if you actually need to solve a different problem: maximum sealing, extremely small fit, purely everyday optics, or a different protection class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe honest limit is important: an open frame protects differently from a closed full-protection goggle. Against frontal particles, splinter\/impact risk, and sunlight, a suitable protective eyewear variant can be very useful.
