On the subject of ballistic eyewear, I'm of the opinion (and this is just me, and I've got a bit of an angle here, admittedly) is that it's kind of like a construction worker who goes to Mark's Work Warehouse to pick up safety boots and safety glasses. CSA and other testing agencies (ANSI/OSHA in the US) have adopted performance standards. As long as he's using the rated stuff, he's covered by worker's comp, etc.
In the way of ballistic eyewear protection, if it meets the standards which the CF issued Revision Sawfly's which are tested to (ANSI Z87.1 and MIL-V-43511C) they should be good to go. http://www.revisioneyewear.com/downloads/SAWFLY_EN_SELLSHEET.pdf
A number of companies offering competitive products to the Revision line are up to this standard; Eye Safety Systems (ESS), which incidentally CP Gear carries (shameless plug), is one of them.
