This review is from: Dewalt DPG56-2C Ventilator Smoke High Performance Protective Safety Glasses with Wraparound Frame (Tools & Home Improvement)

Updated: Read my previous review below... My updated review is as follows. I would not recommend these glasses. I ordered a second pair this time with the clear lens (first was smoke), and not only did they have the same lopsided flaw as my first pair but the black ear pieces were floppy rubber which means they give no support and stick out away from your head when you wear them. Obviously that is silly and I sent them back. Oddly enough that same week my first pair broke at the ear connection exactly as I thought they would in my original review. They broke while removing them from my head. At this price I'm not looking for perfection, but with a little attention to quality these would be good glasses. Instead, I would recommend trying something different.

I like the fit of these glasses, they fit snug on my face and don't slide down my nose while working which is something that was important to me. They are also lightweight, comfortable, and block the sun nicely. I give 4 stars for two reasons... It seems to be a common flaw with many glasses, and it is the connection of the two different ear pieces. It feels flimsy and like it will easily break, even just putting the glasses on or taking them off due to the snug wrap around fit. On the plus side the hinge feels sturdy. My biggest complaint about these glasses is that mine are lopsided. One side sits farther away from my face as though the glasses are on crooked (they're not). Since they're just for work I'll live with it rather than deal with an exchange or return. If this is a rare flaw I could recommend these for work or even casual wear. UPDATE: I've been wearing these for awhile now and I like these enough that I will order a replacement or spare eventually. If they're not "lopsided" like my original pair I will be very happy with these for work glasses. I've updated this to 4 stars from 3 originally since I like the lightweight and snug but comfortable fit.
