This really is a must have once you realize the job that they do, and how uniquely they do it. Like many others I have been going to my local home center and buying clear plastic throw away lenses. All to quickly they are thrown away. The problem is many fold. They fog up, they scratch up bad enough to need to be tossed after what seems like a minimum number of wipings, and are they really "safety glasses". The MSA Safety Works are OSHA approved. They never fog up, and I mean never. With the cheaper ones, I can't tell you how many times I am in the thick of it, and the glasses steam up so bad that you have to toss them aside, just to see what you are doing. These MSA's don't fog up no matter how hot and sweaty you are getting. In August heat, in the middle of a tough job, I would stop and take a paper towel to wipe the sweat off of my face because it was beginning to burn my eyes, and the glasses weren't fogging even a little bit.
Their other big benefit is when wiping the dust off of them, I have yet to see a single scratch on the surface.
I bought these at the same time I purchased a pair of the safety glasses with the 1.5 bifocal lenses for about twice the money. My eyesight for tiny details has waned, I am over forty, and they enable me to see the 32's or 64's, or even the perfect hairline on the measuring rules. That way I can see the whole shop in total clarity, and when I need a little boost for the up close magnification, I'm there. Those are highly recommended as well.
I don't think their is anything more important, and more susceptible to damage than your eyes. Invest in the most important tool in your shop: You. Highly recommended.

I commute to work on my bicycle. I have broken/lost/left behind several pairs of bike glasses in the past. These glasses, a cheaper alternative, have worked excellent. I rode in a 75 bike tour wearing these safety glasses and I never even noticed they were on my face. Although these are slightly less stylish than the more expensive sports glasses, the clear lens safety glasses are a good buy.

I find these glasses are very comfortable and built with some degree of quality. However, there is some distortion near the center, but not enough to make it a big deal (for me at least).

These glasses weigh A LOT! They are constantly slipping down my nose when I look down to cut boards. If I put them up on my head (when not in use) for a few minutes, they immediately fall off when I bend down to pick something up. The arms do not fit snugly (and I have a BIG head!).

The combination of being too heavy and not fitting snugly make this pair of glasses a BAD BUY! Spend a few bucks more and get a better quality pair of glasses would be my recommendation.

This googles is pretty rugged and I use it while riding my bike. Sometimes I do see some fog appearing on the glass, but for the price I think it is surely value for money

I bought these for cycling at night, but will probably look a little geeky (at least it will be at night). Very solid, looks like they take up the majority of your upper face when on. That black plastic along the top gives you a "uni-brow" kind of look. The nose piece is really comfortable, it feels like a silicone rubber insert. Nice and clear. I have a second pair for shop use, so will have to see how scratch resistant they really are.

Been using these while mountain biking, they work great for the price. They stay clear and don't get fogged up while riding. They provide great protection from any debris flying up. And so far the lenses have stayed scratch free even after dropping them and tossing them in my camel back. Great buy, would definitely recommend if you mountain bike in shady areas.

My eyes may be more sensitive than some, but these glasses blur my vision and make me dizzy after extended wear.

This has been my favorite style of safety glasses for several years,and I live my life in safety glasses. They are comfortable and they keep stuff out of the sides pretty well and they never fog up.

The glasses fight snug on my head and are very comfortable. They don't fog up and did not feel like they were slipping off even when i was moving around quite a bit. I used them for shooting and they are a very good alternative to some of the more expensive shooting glasses.
