Are form fitting sport type glasses allowed? I know that the side blinders have been eliminated and thought wrap around style would be nice, but i was not sure if they are acceptable with their wider bows. Also, are shaded lenses allowed? Are mirrored lenses allowed?? Kind of crazy that ISSF gets into style issues for better PR at the cost of looks and even safety.
As a side note, would the polyester training suits if the 70,s still be allowed? Hideous!!!

C'mon...you knew those suits were supposed to be recycled as rag pellet traps.

Glasses must comply with:

6.2.6 Eye Protection
All athletes are urged to wear shatterproof shooting glasses or similar eye
protection while shooting.

6.7.8 Blinders
6.7.8.1 Side Blinders (on one or both sides) attached to the hat, cap, shooting glasses,
or to a headband, not exceeding 60 mm deep are permitted for Shotgun athletes
only (Rule 9.13.4) (A). The front edge of a side blinder, when viewed from the side,
must not extend more than 30 mm forward of the center point of the forehead.
Side blinders must be made of plastic material only.

6.7.8.2 One Front Blinder to cover the non-aiming eye that is not more than 30 mm wide
is permitted for all athletes (B).

As for ployester trainning suits, if they don't colide with "“It is the responsibility of athletes, coaches and officials to appear on the
range dressed in a manner appropriate for a public sports event." then they are ok(ish...)
Have fun reading the whole thing!
