These Safety glasses are great, certified, great looking, and stylish. I use these for outside work, and also have another pair to use as normal sunglasses because they look and feel really good. They also come with a protective case!

Wow! Since when can one get 'safety' glasses that are as fashionable as this? At $12.99, Amazon is selling this at a good price and I'm happy with the product. It hugs my face, looks sporty, is light weight and feels sturdy. I would not hesitate to recommend this product or to buy it again.

I am really hard on glasses. I clean my glasses maybe once a week in the dishwater after I finish washing dishes if that gives you any clue. These frames and lenses have held up well over a month or so of use, mainly for driving and lawnmowing. My two main issues are (1) the lenses are not dark enough and (2) the frames (though durable) look like cheap plastic. The plastic is some type of soft, flexible plastic rather than hard brittle plastic, and I'm certain that will make them much less likely to snap, but the flat matte surface finish is a little different. I like the wrap-around design and wide temples. The things that look like temple vents on the front aren't - they're just fake vents - so fogging is occasionally a problem as it might be with any close design like this without vents of some kind. Buy these if you need a good pair of durable safety glasses, but don't expect to be entirely happy with the styling and materials if you want a pair of very durable sunglasses for general purpose wear as I did.

Update as of September 2011 - After 2 years of heavy use, these have proved quite durable. The lenses now have some smudge/scratch marks, not really scratches but looks like the coating has been rubbed. I don't see it when wearing them, but can see it when I take them off and look at them. Also, the little rubber pads where the bridge hits my nose have come loose. I glued them back with some polyurethane glue. They're now reserved for lawn mowing and other around the yard tasks, but still serviceable.
