SG-1 Ballistic Rated ANSI Z87 Safety Glasses for Men - Lightweight, Adjustable, and Protective

Great glasses

I did a couple of tours in Iraq and we were issued the same exact kind as this. You have no idea how much we benefited by having these. Kept the dust out, never fogged up (unless the strap was too tight), and kept the Sun out. I had them for years afterwards. Unfortunately, I lost them when I moved. Thanks to Amazon I was able to get a pair and once again use them for everything. From mowing yards, to shooting at the range, to cycling on a beautiful Sunday morning, there's nothing better in my personal opinion.

Wow, at the time of writing this review there is a 5 star review and a 1 star review. Right now I'll go with 4 stars because I haven't been able to use them as intended yet so I'll reserve 1 star. I bought these as motorcycle goggles but I sold my bike shortly after ordering them. So far they are exactly what I was looking for. I didn't buy them to use as regular sunglasses and have no intention of ever using the standard ear pieces. If you're looking for traditional sunglasses look elsewhere. As was mentioned in another review, unless you have a big head/face they will not fit snugly while using the ear pieces. I won't trash them for that reason though since I bought them to be used as goggles. They are made of a very flexible material so when using the head strap they mold comfortably around my face like they were custom made. The foam gaskets are comfortable and they are very light weight. If they were made of a firm material they would not wrap around your face properly. I chose them mainly because they are flexible. Seeing as how they are used by the US military I expect them to be durable. The military doesn't use junk. I had mine fitted with prescription lenses locally with no problem. I'll save the stock clear and smoke lenses in case I ever sell them. The case is nice. The bonus is that they are made in Italy, not china like a lot of the other junk you see in this category. So far I'm happy with them. I'll update once I buy new bike and I've had a chance to use them while riding.

I looked long and hard for goggles that would protect me in the desert during Burning Man that would not fog up and not allow dust to seep in from the sides. I bought this pair along with another one that was much rounder and appeared to have more padding. Sure..it had more padding but it was flimsy and started to fall off when I tried it on so I was so incredibly happy that I bought this pair too. These were perfect for what I needed. I have only used these with the elastic strap and I switched out the lenses daily without issue. I do have a fear that I'm going to snap off what hooks that keep the lenses in place but that's just me being overly worried. I don't have a single scratch on my lenses. The padding didn't disintegrate and I was delighted to have a shield from the sun during the day and clear lenses for when I needed them at night if there was any dust being blown around. I do agree with the other reviewers that talk about pain on the bridge of their nose or pressure. I had never worn goggles before so I wanted to die when I first put them on because I thought my eyes were going to pop out...but I find that I simply had to adjust the elastic band to be less tight. I also found it incredibly helpful to wear it higher on the back of your head than you would think, I found that solved almost all the pain I initially felt.

I live in the middle east and we get sandstorms here sometimes during the summer. I wore this baby and walked right into the storm and not a grain of sand or dust went in my eyes. Could see crystal clear the whole time. I've got a somewhat small face, so the fit isn't perfect. It's a bit big. But the goggles as a whole is very light weight and the frame is a flexible plastic material. So if you tighten the elastic strap, it will fit just fine. I can't use the goggles with the temples/arms that they provide because it is too loose for my face. Altogether, I love them.

So, I'm in afghanistan and I realize I don't have any sunglasses that are equipmed to protect my eyes from dust storms and dirt devils. I finally find these and I am quite satisfied with this product. I am thinking about buying another pair just so I can put the clear extra lenses in them to wear at night. This packaged comes with the normal sunglasses ear stems also. I didn't know that. So you don't have to use the strap if you don't want to. It does a good job of keeping dust out. My co workers were shrieking in agony when we were walking in a dust storm. I strolled along wondering if he was trying to rub the cataracst out of his eye or something. To sum it up, it is a good product. It may not catch everything, but it catches 99.75% of something coming at your face....... That statement is kinda of opened.

A bit big for my face; the goggle attachment doesn't make contact on the outside edges. It would probably fit better on someone with a rounder face, but I don't consider my head or face to be narrow. I bought my first pair so I didn't always need a helmet on my motorcycle. I've bought the last couple of pairs for spring skiing without full-face goggles. The work well enough that I don't go blind on a bright day and keep out enough air that I don't cry the whole time.

I purchased these for my husband‘s birthday. Delivery was fast. And he was thrilled when he opened them.
