DeWalt's description of these glasses is accurate. Lightweight protection that wraps around the head is more than just comfortable--it's easy to forget that you are wearing them. These glasses shield the eyes from anything that might fly off a chain, blade or bit. They don't fog up like goggles, and their flexibility gives a snug fit that feels custom-made. They even go a long way in protecting the eyes from airborne dust. Good looking, too. (If they were tinted, you could wear them to the beach).

For outdoors and in and to have a pair always handy, I am ordering more of these. [User note: these are not designed to be worn over eye glasses.]

These glasses are great! I'm a metal and glass artist who has used dozens of safety glasses, cheap or expensive through the years and these are far superior to any others.
-They are so clear and lightweight and distortion free, I am not inclined to take them off, not realizing I'm wearing them for hours at a time.
-No headaches or eye strain.
-These do all that the marketing says they do... and they are typically a fraction of the price of other glasses.

-The only negative thing I would mention is that they may fog while also wearing a particle mask and welding helmet as breath is directed upward and has nowhere to go. This is rare. I have yet to try the anti-fog version.

I bought these for my husband, whose safety glasses were getting pretty scratched up and looked cheesy, also. (Also I needed to spend $3 more to get free shipping. Check out the Amazon Anonymous discussion group. I am not addicted to Amazon--I can quit shopping at Amazon anytime I want. I just don't want to)

These glasses, according to my dh, are lightweight and comfortable to wear. He came into the house from the garage wearing them just a little while ago--he forgot he was wearing them.

They don't look extremely dorky. Best of all, they will protect my dh's beautiful brown eyes. A small price to pay for safety glasses. He likes the name brand, too.

Glasses in OEM packaging and were in great shape. I found them to be lacking in coverage when I wore them while cutting with my circular saw. Within five minutes of wearing them I got a piece of sawdust in my eye. The glasses just don't seem to come down far enough to prevent sawdust coming off the blade of my saw from going between the bottom of the glasses and my cheek. Maybe because its a wormdrive so the blade being on the left puts my body in just the wrong spot..I don't know the answer. The optics are fine and the fit is great. Very light-weight, they don't fog up and they don't slip. They protect well in virtually all other tasks like sanding, cutting with a jig saw, routering etc. It seems to be only an issue when I use the circular saw without a fence and need to pay very close attention to make sure the blade follows the line I have marked. I am give them three stars for making them sleek-looking at the expense of adequate coverage.

Even though they come in a protective package, both lenses are scuffed and scratched where the lenses begin to bend around the temples. I cannot see the scrathes in my field of view, so I will still use them. For the price they aren't worth sending back. I'm just really disappointed that a company like Dewalt cant make a package that will hold the glasses still and protected inside its own protective package. With this packaging, the glasses are allowed to just bounce around inside. On a good note, they are light and comfortable. I dont recommend these for shipping, buy them in a store where you can inspect them first. I hope that helps you.

WHY I BOUGHT THESE: We moved into a new house, complete with big yard, and recently I tried my hand at weed whacking for the first time ever, without safety glasses. Within the first minute of weed whacking, I got pegged in the face with a flying bit of blackberry vine. Fortunately, it hit me in the forehead instead of the eye, but still, it was evident that I couldn't do yard work without safety glasses. I ordered two pairs of these Dewalt safety glasses in clear, and put off yard work until they arrived in the mail.

HOW THESE FIT: As a woman, these fit me. Yes, they *look* like they're on the large side on me, but they're not outrageously oversized on me. Although, I'm 5'9" with an average size head, and so can't speak for those 5' tall with smaller heads (though I imagine they'd still work for those women too). My husband is 6'8", so he has a far larger cranium than the average person, and these fit him too, though they look a bit more fitted on him than they do me.

HOW THESE FEEL: I went for another round of weed whacking and am happy to say that I forgot I was wearing these. Very clear, lightweight and comfortable, which makes it easy to want to wear these when I need to. It was warm and I got a little sweaty, but these didn't slide off my nose, even though I was always looking down. And they kept those flying bits of weeds and blackberry vine from hitting my eyes, so I'm happy!

These can't be beat, especially for the price.

Order by themselves if you can to minimize the risk of getting the lens scratched (like mine) in shipping. Packaging is not good..

The glasses are very comfortable and the vision is great but even without wearing a hat they still fog in the middle of winter.

The glasses are very comfortable to wear, and give a very clear view. I like them a lot.

Most of the safety glasses I have used including safety goggles generally have distortion that make them difficult to focus on fine work and equally difficult to wear for any length of time.

I use a good pair of wrap around bicycling sunglasses when I am cutting wood or using power tools in bright sunlight. Nothing worse than having flying sawdust or dirt hit you in the eye. For dim light or using my miter saw inside my garage, especially when the weather is poor, I have been looking for glasses with excellent clarity that fit as well as my cycling glasses.

These glasses have excellent clarity, are very comfortable and look purdy hot if I say so myself. The rim design makes it easy to move them, wedge them on my head or around my neck. I'll need to use them more to see how well they survive repeated clean up.

Geez, for $4, I couldn't come close in the stores. This was a great purchase.
